OBITUARY - Mrs. A.T. Helmershausen, widow of Rev. Edwin A. Helmershausen, formerly of the East Maine conference, died at Malden, Mass., March 3, 1906. She was born in Dover, Me., April 3, 1835. Her parents were pioneer Methodists. In her girlhood she was converted, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church. She was married in 1853. Her husband died in 1873, since which time she made her home in Malden with her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Skinner. Mrs. Helmershausen was a very active member of Centre church, Malden. She loved the church as she loved her own home; its atmosphere was the atmosphere of her life. It may be said of her as of one of old: "She hath done what she could." The Christian life was to her a delight, a gladness, a liberty, a triumph.
For months Mrs. Helmershausen knew that the end was drawing nigh. She locked upon death "as passing out of the shadow into the light." Her end was peaceful and painless. "She fell on sleep" like a child going to rest in its mother's arms. She did not fear, for God had taken her.
The funeral was held at the home on Sunday afternoon. The services were conducted by the pastor. Rev. John Heid Shannon, assisted by Rev. J.M. Simpler of Everett. On Monday all that was mortal of Mrs. Helmershausen was laid to rest in the family burial ground in Maine. J.R.S. In Zion's Herald
