616 HISTORY OF PETTIS COUNTY Missouri; Martin C., deceased; Rosa D., married John W. Hicks and is now deceased; Mrs. Martha W. Hurt, Clinton, Missouri, and Charles M., deceased. James E. Ream was reared to manhood in Green Ridge, and received his education in the public schools. Early in life he became a registered pharmacist, and clerked in his father's drug store in Green Ridge until 1909. He then became cashier of the Peoples Bank of Green Ridge, and has held that position to the present time. This bank is one of the leading financial institutions of Pettis County, and some of the best business men and farmers in Green Ridge and vicinity are interested in it. Since its organization it has been under capable management and has ever offered the greatest safety in banking to its many customers, as well as paying satisfactory dividends to the stockholders. Mr. Ream, who has been cashier of this bank now for over ten years, is a careful banker, as the record of the institution shows. He is both conservative and progressive, which are the rare but essential elements of a success- ful banker in this day and age. Mr. Ream is a close student of the per- plexing and manifold problems of legitimate banking and finance. Mr. Ream is unmarried, and resides with his mother and sister. Politically, he has been a constant supporter of the policies and principles of the Democratic party. Jacob D. Helman, a Union veteran of the Civil War, now living retired, after a long and successful active career, has been identified with Pettis County for half a century. Mr. Helman traces his ancestry, in this country, back about 150 years. He was born in Ashland County, Ohio, January 31, 1834, and is a son of John and Sophia (Dougherty) Helman. John Helman was born in Center County, Pennsylvania, August 5, 1786. He was a farmer all his life, and when a young man removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and lived to the advanced age of eighty-eight years. He died November 20, 1874. Sophia (Dougherty) Helman was born in Pennsylvania January 30, 1795. She was of Irish descent. She died January 21, 1885. To John and Sophia (Dougherty) Helman were born seven chil- dren, as follow: Mary, married Dan Eshleman, and they are both now deceased; Catherine, married M. Crial, and they are deceased; Herman, died in California; Able, died in Oregon; Emmaline, married David Brick- ley, and they are deceased; John R., deceased; Jacob D., the subject of this sketch.
