JOHN M. HELMICK, Urbana: dealer in stoves and house furnishings, is
another native and old resident of Champaign Co., born in Urbana May 21,
1818. He is a son of David and Mary (Miller) Helmick, who came from
Hamilton Co., where his father settled in 1802. David was a
cabinet-maker, and in those early days was a prominent manufacturer,
widely and favorably known. The subject of this sketch was born in an
old-style log cabin on Water street. A two-story brick, build by his
father, now stands on the site of his birthplace. He learned the
tinners trade in his youth with the late Sephen L. Miller, an uncle.
In 1843, he married Miss Roxaline Miller, of Clark Co., and in 1847,
removed to Clark Co., where his wife died in 1848. In 1850, he returned
to Champaign Co., and was a prominent dealer in stoves and
house-keepers furnishings until 1859, when he returned to Urbana, and
has since conducted the same business here. He is now located at No. 13
N. Main street. Mr. Helmick has been identified with the business and
other interests of Champaign Co. from his early manhood, and probably,
with the exception of Mr. Hitt, is the oldest native resident merchant
now actively engaged in merchandising in the city. He married, October
1849, Miss Sarah W. Baker, who was also a resident of Clark Co., and
sister of his first wife. Their parents came from New Jersey, and
settled in Clark Co. in 1802. From this marriage have resulted four
childrenSamuel, William, Osman and Annie. Samuel is married, and all
are grown and residents of this county.
