- Iron_Mountain_Baby abstract "Iron Mountain Baby refers both to a folksong and the subject of that song, William Moses Gould Helms.On August 14, 1902, William Helms (June 5, 1835 – December 13, 1917), a 72-year-old farmer and civil war veteran, was walking along the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway (later the Missouri Pacific Railroad) where it crosses Big River outside of Irondale (Washington County, Missouri), collecting lumber for a barn he intended to build. He saw No. 4 speed northbound over the bridge. Then, hearing a strange noise and following its source, he found what is described as \"an old fashioned telescoping valise.\" The case turned out to contain a baby, whose age was later estimated at approximately five days. Having fallen about 50 feet (15 m), the child was badly bruised, with a pronounced dent in its head. Helms took the child home to his wife, Sarah Jane Knight Helms (July 10, 1850 – April 15, 1925) and they nursed him back to health. The child was named for his foster father, Bill Helms, and \"Gould,\" the owner of the railroad, but also \"Moses,\" because he was taken from the river. The story spread throughout the United States, and gave rise to the folksong. Many women came forward, claiming to be the boy's mother. However, when the child was six years old, the elderly couple formally adopted him. After the death of the elder Helms, William and his mother moved to Salem, Missouri. He attended Braughton's University and Southwest Missouri State Teachers College (now Missouri State University); his education was paid for by the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway. He became a printer. On August 5, 1933 he married a woman named \"Sally,\" (September 17, 1904, d. Racine, Wisconsin, September 1987). They had one son, William (died at age 14, according to some sources). They later moved to Texas, where William died January 31, 1953, aged 51.When the corpse was carried by train back to Washington County, it was only the second time William had ridden a train. He was interred at Hopewell, Missouri Cemetery. The funeral got no publicity; Helms did not enjoy his peculiar fame.The Ballad of the Iron Mountain Baby (likely has changed from the original version, written by Rev. J.T. Barton in late 1902 or early 1903, which is said to have had 14 stanzas)(the ballad mistakes certain key details—the number of the train, the names of the principals, etc.).I have a song I'd like to singIt's awful but it's trueAbout a baby, thrown from a trainBy a woman, I know not who.Th' train was running at full speedT'was northbound number nine (actually it was Northbound Number Four, and the rhyme scheme suggests that Barton knew this)An' as it crossed th' river's bridgeShe cast it from the door. A Mother unkind, a Father untrueAnd yet, I'm bound to sayIt must have grieved that Mother's heartTo cast her baby away. The leaves (i.e., valise) in which this baby was foundWas fourteen inches longFive inches wide, six inches deepAn', O, so closely bound. It was Bill Williams who found this babe (actually was Bill Helms; it was probably corrupted to Williams due to phonetic similarity)He heard its helpless cryHe took it to his loving wife;She would not let it die. She bathed and washed its little headAn' soon, it hushed its cryGod bless them both while they liveGod bless them when they die. We'll name him William Roscoe (he was actually given the name William Moses)Because he has no nameThen, if he grows to be a manHe'll wear it just th' same.This ends my song, my story I've toldI'll say, goodbye to allUntil we meet around the throneIn that bright world above all.↑ ↑".
