Occupation: Farmer, Wijders River Riversdale District. 4 First he worked as a Trader in the Bredasdorp area before acquiring a farm in the Riversdale-Albertinia district.
This reference also refers to " Die Geskiedenis van die Kerkgebou te Wydersrivier" which gives more information regarding the partitioning of the farm among a number of the HELM relatives. What is currently known as Wyders River is thatportion that Henry acquired, and it was there that the church was constructed.
In contrast, all the other evidence supports the oral tradition passed on to Herbert Helm and Gwen Noall that Henry William Helm acquired the farm much earlier, soon after marying Anna, maybe in the early 1860's and that their eldest son was born there. This source goes on to relate this supporting evidence
Occupation: 4 Henry farmed well creating beautiful and bountiful orchards as there was lots of irrigable land. He acquired one of the first gramaphones and the farm also boasted a croquet lawn. In his later years he became somewhat inactive and quiet, forever smoking his pipe.

Events:
Occupation: Matabeleland Zimbabwe. 4,14,15 Charles took charge of the Zuurbraak Mission for a year before heading off for Matabeleland. He was one of the first missionaries to Zimbabwe
Historical: 4 He went to New College, London for theological training where he married Baroness Elspeth Puttkamer, whose mother was related to Bismarck. After a year in Zuurbraak he headed for Matabeleland in 1875 where they spent the rest of their lives. He served as a missionary to the Matabele at Hope Fountain (not far out from present Bulawayo) until 1913. Lobengula never accepted Christianity but became great friends with Helm. "The Harvest and Hope" describes him as "a big man in every sense, physically, mentally, and spriitually, such was the confidence he evoked from others that, when Rhodes was negotiating with Lobengula, both men chose Helm to observe the negotiations which led to the concession to the British South Africa Company. A monument to him still stands at Hope Fountain along with a museum built in his honour.
His critics complain that he served too many masters, involved himself too much in the politics of the day, and did not allign himself with the interests of his flock. The international media even went further accusing him of siding with Rhodes to the detriment of the interests of the Matabele, but this reference says that the worst that can be said of him was that he was naive and too trusting. He believedthat "a gentleman stands by his word" and himself was oblivious of Rhode's grandiose schemes. More accurately, he was widely known as " the friend of the Matabele"
