Notes

! "AN AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY" Helfenstien, Charles Philip, promoter, was born in Carlisle, Pa., in September 1820, son of John Philip and Elizabeth (Leonard) Helfenstein. His paternal grandfather, Rev. Conrad Helfenstein, a native of Germany, settled in America as a missionary about 1772, and his maternal grandfather, Christian Leonard, having emigrated from Germany about 1730, setled near Lancaster, Pa. and served as captain in the revolution. Mr. Helfenstein was educated at private schools in Pennsylvania and Dayton O., whither his parents had removed in 1822, and entering Yale College, was graduated with honor in 1841. He then began the study of law in the office of his brother-in-law, Judge Benjamin Patton of Pittsburgh, Pa., and after his admission to the bar removed to Milwaukee, Wis. In 1850 he settled in Shamokin, Pa., and with his brother, William, was active in developing the western division of the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania; also in laying out the towns of Shamokin, Trevorton, Mt. Carmel, Gowen City and Helfenstein in Schuylkill county. His extending interests brought him into close relations with several banking and business corporations and caused him to become a large holder of their securities. He was long director in the Northumberland County Bank of Shamokin; vice-president of the Shamokin Banking Co., and president of the Shamokin Gas Light Co. For two terms he was chief burgess of Shamokin, and also served on the commission appointed to settle the affairs of the Jay Cooke & Co. banking house. During the war Mr. Helfenstein was an ardent supporter of the Federal government, although at the time unable to enlist in the army. He has ever since been a firm adherent of the Republican party. Until 1876 he was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, but then withdrew and united with the Reformed Episcopalians under lead of Bishop Cummins. He has for many years been active in Sunday-school and Y.M.C.A. work. Mr. Helfenstein was married in 1855 to Caroline Hill, daughter of Jeremiah C. and Esther Ann (Colcord) Perkins of Exeter, N.H. She is a great-granddaughter of Capt. James Perkins a patriot of 1776, and a signer of the association test; also of Gen. James Hill, of revolutionary fame, and of Joseph Colcord, a soldier at Bunker Hill. They have four children, two sons and two daughters.
