Phillip immigrated from Germany to the United States in 1857. In 1860, he is found living in Putnam County, Illinois, which borders Bureau County, where he later lived.

They lived for many years near Hollowayville, Bureau County, Illinois, where all 13 of their children were born.
Between 1880 and 1885, Johann (Phillip) and Maria Kathrina Elizabeth “Mary” Helm moved to Otoe County, Nebraska with at least 8 of their 10 living children. Over the ensuing years, the children grew and married starting their own families.

Phillip (Jacob) “Jake” Helm (shown right) was the ninth of Phillip and Mary's children and is the next in our direct family line. Jake first married Lulu Darline Guthrie. They were the parents of two children: Ed and Rosa. At age 26, Lulu died of tuberculosis leaving Jake with two young children. Jake raised the children with the help of his mother, who had become a widow a few years earlier.
It wasn’t until 1927, 16 years after Lulu’s death, that Jake married again. His second wife was Minnie Kutzner, daughter of Herman and Minnie Schmidt Kutzner. Although Jake around 50, his bride was 20 years his junior and thus they began a family together becoming the parents of three daughters: Alice, Dorothy, and Janice.
