SUBMITTED BY: Linda Hellems-Trinkle Descendants of James A. Hellems Generation No. 1 1. JAMES A.1 HELLEMS was born Bet. 1852 - 1856 in Welland, Ontario, Canada, and died July 08, 1892 in Standard Radiator Works, Buffalo, Erie County, New York. He married ANNA MARIA BARRETT Bef. 1876. She was born April 1857 in New York, and died 10 May 1943 in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. Burial: Holy Cross Cemetery, Lackawanna, NY. Notes for JAMES A. HELLEMS: March 2000: Per an email from Linda Hellems-Trinkle "A man in New York looked up information for me at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, Erie County, New York and found a James Hellems who died in 1892. He is the note he sent me: "I looked up the name of Hellems in Forest Lawn while I was working this morning. There are two Hellems buried in Forest Lawn and not a whole lot of information on them. Both are buried in a section that has lots for only one person. I think it was for people who were poor or had no family. I'll give you the information just as I have it, but I think it will bring up more questions rather than answers. First is a James Hellems who died July 8, 1892, age 36, section 39, lot 1776. His last adress was 233 Myrtle Street, Buffalo, New York. That really is all there is on him. I could check the address in a city directory if you think it would help. Number 2 is: Maud Hellems who died July 22, 1891, cause of death "still-born". Last address was 534 Swan Street. Now the kicker, under parents names it just says James. Myrtle Street I believe runs off of Swan or at least is very close to it. I hate to do this to you, but like I said, it brings up more questions. But that is what I found. Let me know if you think any of these people are your family." April 2000: Per email of April 13, 2000 from Linda Hellems-Trinkle "Received death certificate of James Hellems buried in Forest Lawn. It didn't list parents, spouse, or birthdate. "... Age 40 (scratched out) About 36 years. White male, married. Birthplace (looks like America). How long a resident of Buffalo: a number of years. Place of death: no 32 or 92 Porter Stl. at Standard Radiator Works. I certify.... that Jse died on the 8th day of July, 1892 about 10:15 AM....cause of death shock caused by scalding and burning ( radiator exploded, burning him over most of his body). Signed this 12 day of July 1892 by Harry B. Rauman MD. Place of burial: Forest Lawn; date of burial July 10..." It does match what I had been told by my father and grandfather about how James died at work." june 2000: Per email: From: Flynn < flynn@frontiernet.net> Date: Thursday, June 22, 2000 9:13 PM "...I have been printing your notes and sending them to my sister Carol, she does not have a computer at this time so we still use the US postal service and phone.
