(Son) Census US 18701 June 1870Newton was enumerated on the 1870 census taken as of 1 June 1870 in the household of his parents in Upper Lake, Lake County, California. He was 9 years old. We note that the census taker's handwriting was very difficult for us to read. Newton's name looks more like "Milton", and the Helm surname was transcribed by Ancestry as "Helen."3 
(Son) Census State WA 18871887Newton was listed as N. P. Helm with his mother and three siblings on the 1887 Washington State and Territorial census taken in Whitman County, Washington, He was 26 years of age.5 
Marriage*May 1888He married first, as her first husband, Lilia A. Cooper, daughter of John S. Cooper and Lucy Ann Willis, in May 1888 in Colfax, Whitman County, Washington.10 
Divorce*26 October 1892In the case of Newton P. Helm vs. Lilia A. Helm, Newton was granted a divorce from Lilia on 26 October 1892 in Spokane County, Washington, on the grounds of abandonment, the wife having left her husband and refused to return to him.10 
Marriage*26 October 1892He married, as her second husband, Mary C. (Olds) Harper, daughter of Luther Olds and Caroline Elizabeth Ranson, on 26 October 1892 in Post Falls, Kootenai County, Idaho.8,1 
Census US 1900*29 June 1900Mary and Newton Helm were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 29 June 1900 in Wolf Lodge, Kootenai County, Idaho. Newton was 40 years of age and a farmer, and Mary was 32 years of age. They were both able to read, write and to speak English, owned their farm free of mortgage, had been married for 8 years, and Mary had given birth to four children, all of whom were living and enumerated with her in 1900. The two eldest children, both recorded with the surname Helm, were Mary's two sons from her first marriage, Milton Harper and Charles Harper, who were ages 13 and 12 years, respectively, were both able to read, write and to speak English, and had attended school for six months of the census year. The two younger children were the couple's two sons, Shelby and William, who were ages 5 and 3 years, respectively.11 
(Biological Father) Research NotesHis biological son Orville's enumeration with his mother and stepfather, Lilia and George McClure, on the 1900 census was the last time we saw his name in a record as Orville HELM. After 1900, we have consistently found his name recorded as Orville McClure. Whether he was officially adopted by his stepfather, as reported on Orville's Find a Grave memorial page, we don't know. Officially or not, though, Orville became a McClure for the rest of his life.12,13
