Show Notes

Hello.  My name is Paul Helmuth, and this podcast is a special series for me, because it’s a podcast where my grandfather tells the stories of his life, the way he remembers it.

My grandpa was born in the 1920's and grew up in the Amish community just outside Arthur, IL.  He died on January 12, 2021.

What is Stories the Way I Remember Them - The Stories of Noah Helmuth?

Noah Helmuth was born into an amish community in central Illinois in the 1920's. He grew up a farmer, left the amish church, started a business and travelled throughout the midwest and midatlantic region of the US as a minister.

In 2019 I sat down with my grandpa and interviewed him over several days about the stories of his life. This podcast is his stories...the way he remembers them.

Sadly, Noah died on January 12, 2021.

I'm posting this podcasts as my memorial to him so that others can hear the stories that he loved to tell.

I love you grandpa and I miss you.
