HELMS

Robert Roy Helms, 85, died peacefully at his home in Ionia, MI on December 28, 2022. He was born on September 17, 1937, to Arthur and Pauline Josephine (Jo) Helms. Robert, or Bob as his friends called him, lived a simple life. He was a hard-working man that loved farm living and never shied away from a tough job. He grew up with a love of horses, raising many on the farm he shared with his wife, Roberta (Galloway) until his Parkinson’s disease no longer allowed him to be able to care for them. He also enjoyed any farm implement with a John Deere logo and was quite handy with fixing them. Bob worked for Lich Farm Service as a set up mechanic for many years until his retirement.

Robert and Roberta married in 1956 and celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary in October. Together they raised 3 children, David (Vicki) Helms, Ed (Betsy) Helms and Marcia (Tim) Miller.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents, his In-laws Robert and Lucy Galloway along with his brother, Lawrence, and sister, Joyce. Also preceding him are a niece, Cathy, and two nephews Wayne and Gary Stearns.

Bob is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren, Elizabeth Helms, Melissa Helms, Peggy (Matt) Conley, Ashley (Bryan) McMahon, Paige (Travis Sanicki) Helms, Kimberly (Don) Beard, and Kyle (Jessica) Miller. Also surviving are his great grandchildren, Tobbie Helms, Max and Molly Conley; Caelyn, Rebekah and Ellery McMahon; Kinsley and Klaire Sanicki; Audrey, Lane and Bella Beard and Hudson Miller; great great grandchildren, Sterling and Haylin Helms; sisters Maxine (Lloyd) Stearns, Marie (Charles) Wagner; in-laws, Clint (Kris Slowins) Galloway, Nancy (Norman) McKendry, Gordon (Cheryl) Galloway, Rick (Bonnie) Galloway and Rodney (Chris) Galloway and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you donate to the LeValley United Methodist Church for repair of the organ chimes. In honor of Bob’s love of horses, please feel free to wear your favorite Western wear to the service. With Roberta’s allergies the family requests no fresh flowers.

† MCKINCH Donald A. McKinch 07/05/1935 - 12/29/2022

87 years Donald is survived by his wife of 68 years Norma, children Vicki Kennedy (Mike), Tim McKinch (Angela), Sherrie McKinch (Freddie Kroft). Grandchildren Stacy Moore (Gabe), Jolene Hopkins, Josh McKinch (Stacy), Jessica Supplee (Ryan), Jennifer McKinch, James Kennedy (Carli), and Sarah Kennedy. He was also a proud great grandfather of Kali McKinch, Deagan Moore, Trenton Hopkins, Bryn McKinch, Ferran Moore, Rebecca Hopkins, Cooper Kennedy, Rhett Kennedy, Brooke Supplee and Sydney Supplee. He was preceded in death by parents Letha (Slade) McKinch and Bert A. McKinch, brothers and sisters Kathleen Ormsbee, Edith Burton, John McKinch, Ronald McKinch and Barbara Wilson.

Donald was born in a small tarpaper home in Mesick, Michigan with twin brother Ronald. A family of modest means, when he graduated from high school his dad gave him and his twin, alarm clocks and said, “Move to town where you can get a job”. He was employed at General Motors for 20 years. During those early years he returned to northern Michigan on weekends to go to dances and caught the eye of his soon to be wife, Norma. They were partners in many ventures and adventures. Ventures included their move to Saranac with the purchase of their farm. They later purchased Saranac Feed and Grain and later added M&B Hog Farms. He also was a shareholder in Ionia Pork, LLC. After retiring from the farm, real estate became his passion with D&N Real Estate which he continued to be involved until his passing. He believed and instilled in his family that your worth is based on your work ethic. While work was always important, adventures were as well. Don and Norma traveled a great deal including Alaska and Hawaii and spent many winters in Florida. They once drove all the way thru Mexico without knowing a word of Spanish.

Never wanting attention, he cared for many and contributed to those in need without ever wanting the acknowledgement. Many have referred to him as a “special kind of friend”.

Visitation was at Lake Funeral Home in Ionia on Monday, January 2, 2023, from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM. A memorial service was held at Lake Funeral Home in Saranac on Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at Noon with a visitation 1 hour prior. A luncheon will follow at the American Legion Post in Saranac. Online condolences may be made at www.lakefuneralhomes.com

Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, on December 29, 1942. The only child to William and Jeanne Bullock. She was raised in the Detroit area through-out her childhood, and then moved to the Middleville area when she began her lifetime employment with Hasting’s Manufacturing.

Arlene was known by all to be an avid animal lover, which she instilled in her daughter, and granddaughter. She was often heard saying that she preferred the company of animals rather than people. Retiring in 2005, she was able to devote all of her time to spoiling her dogs, and spending more time with her granddaughter.

She leaves behind her spouse of 43 years, Gary Tasker, daughter Darlene (Mike) Huver, and granddaughter Samantha Huver.

Arlene was predeceased by her parents, William and Jeanne, her son Bryon Blondia (1964-1987), and most recently, her beloved companion Charlie.

Honoring her wishes, cremation has taken place, and there will be no services. If you feel the desire to memorialize Arlene, she has requested that you consider contributing to your local animal shelter, or rescue facility.

“THE PURPOSE of this organization shall be dedicated to preserve the Boston-Saranac area history and to inform the residents of local historical facts so future generations will take pride and interest in our culture and in their roots.” This mission statement is printed on the Boston-Saranac Historical Society’s (bi-annual) “Newsletter”.

With the help of donations from area families, schools, churches and various organizations, the provenance of most of the artifacts on display at the Depot Museum is well known. That information comes from diaries, letters, oral histories and/or interviews, plus previous research documentation. Others?? Well, suffice it to say we sometimes end up with a lot of our questions left unanswered.

Case in point – this 1880’s bayonet was found in 2015 by a mushroom hunter, Gregory Geiger, under an oak tree just to the east of the Depot grounds between the Grand River and where the railroad tracks used to be – between the present day “Saranac Riverwalk” and “Fred Meijer Rails to Trails” pathway. Having no one to answer the pressing question, “How did it get here?” it was referred to a MSU (Michigan State University) history teacher who said the bayonet came from an 1881 Springfield Rifle.

Further research shows that the “Springfield Trapdoor” rifle was the standard rifle used by the U.S. Military in one form of another since the late 1860s. In the years following the U.S. Civil War, Springfield Armory produced bayonets by re-working older bayonets left over from the (Civil) war. For the Model 1880, the armory departed from previous bayonet designs and attempted to produce a combination bayonet and cleaning rod – thus, the triangular-ramrod-bayonet. The 1880s did not do well in testing, and all were returned from the field and were placed in storage. It is oftentimes dangerous to assume, but most likely the bayonets were also returned from the field, along with the rifles. Interesting – but it still doesn’t tell us “How did our bayonet get here beside the railroad in Saranac?” We’ll probably never know the whole story about this one (1) particular artifact now on display at the Depot Museum but it was found in Saranac, and the backstory of where and how it was found is now part of our overall history. …. but with a little imagination – the stories it could tell?
