• Notes

  Gospel Herald - Volume XLV, Number 1 - January 1, 1952 --- page 22, 23 Helka, -- Norman Clayton, son of the late Elias Helka and Mary Ann Hoover, was born near Selkirk, Ont., Aug. 23, 1903; passed away at the Hamilton, Ont., General Hospital, Oct. 22, 1951; aged 48 y. 1 m. 29 d. In 1926 he was converted and joined the Rainham Mennonite Church, where he served his Master until his homegoing. He cared for his widowed mother while operating a small farm and a general repair business. Surviving are his mother, a brother (Freeman, of Selkirk), 3 nephews, one great-nephew, and a large circle of other relatives and friends. For a number of years he suffered ill health and in his more recent illness called for the special prayers of God's people for the healing of his body. But God planned otherwise. The funeral was held Oct. 25, with a short service at the Fisherville Funeral Parlor and a public service at the Rainham Mennonite Church, in charge of A. Lewis Fretz, assisted by Amzey and Urias Martin of Elmira, and Abram Smith of Markham. Burial was made in the Lake Shore Cemetery.
