When Helen Marie Kirmse was born on January 12, 1940, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, her father, Louis, was 62, and her mother, Anna, was 40. She married Harry Walter Hacker on October 6, 1962, in Farrar, Missouri. They had three children in 11 years.

Helen (Kirmse) Hacker owns and lives on the Julius Kirmse homestead in Farrar, Missouri. Helen was a member of the “Three Cousins” team that searched for the histories of their ancestors and shared documents and photographs that she had as well as gathered information from cemeteries and Perry County records.
In the fall of 2003, I visited Helen in Farrar, Missouri on my great-grandfather Julius Kirmse’s family farm. While there also gathered documents and pictures from the Perry County Historical Society. Over the following years, Helen has shared many additional documents and photographs.
Helen has been my go-to-person for family or/and information about Perry County.
