(Art.1828) Two land speculators, Sylvanus Phillips and William Russell, created the present town site of Helena, which was originally part of a Spanish land grant. Phillips, who played the major role in the establishment of the town, arrived in the area about 1797 and moved to the present site of Helena around 1815. On May 1, 1820, the territorial legislature carved out part of Arkansas County and created a new county named in honor of Sylvanus Phillips. The legislature also gave permission to create a town, and the 640-acre site that was to become Helena was platted in December of the same year. In 1833, some two years after Phillips's death, the town of Helena was incorporated and named after his daughter, Helena Phillips, who had died on August 28, 1831, at the age of fifteen.

10/07/1828 MURDER - We learn, by gentlemen from St Francis county, that a murder, of a most atrocious character, was perpetrated in that county, on the night of the 23d ult. on the body of Mr. Burrell Jones. On that night, a short time after Mr. and Mrs. Jones had retired to bed, two men, on horseback, called at the house, (representing, themselves to be travelers) and inquired if they could procure lodgings there for the night. Mr. Jones and his wife got up and went to the door, and after speaking with them and inviting them to alight from their horses, Mr. J. stepped into the yard, for the purpose of picking up some wood to kindle a fire. When within a few steps of the supposed travelers, one of them snapped his gun at him, and the other fired, and shot him through the body. Mr. Jones staggered to the door, where his wife was standing, exclaimed "I am killed" and fell. The murderers then exchanged a few words with each other, in a low voice, when one of them observed "We have killed him - let's be off." They immediately started and made off at a gallop.Mr. Jones survived until the evening of the following day, when he expired. Before his death, he made oath before a magistrate, that the persons who murdered him were Dr. Charles C.P. Welch, and Grabel Lincecum, (both neighbors of Mr. J.) but he could not say positively which of them gave him the fatal wound.The murderers, finding that they were suspected, decamped on the following morning. Lincecum fled towards Batesville, but a party were in pursuit of him, and hopes were entertained that he would be overtaken and arrested. Welch took the road towards White River, and is has been ascertained that he passed in through the prairie to the Cherokee nation, where we understand, he was seen a few days ago. He told a person with whom he stopped in the prairie, that he was going to the Cherokee nation, and from thence to the Spanish Country.Welch and Mr. Jones had had a slight difference a few days previous to the murder, but it was not supposed to be of a serious nature. No difference was known to exist between Mr. J. and Lincecum.
