Frank Helvey & Eleanor Plummer

I found on the web site about the Pony Express, a short biography of Frank Helvey, a rider, who lived in Fairbury, NE and married Eleanor Plummer in Beatrice, NE in 1866. Frank was born in 1831 in Indiana and came with his family to Nebraska in 1846. His father was Joel Helvey. Joel and sons Frank, Thomas, and Jasper were freighters and ranchers until 1870. Frank died in 1910 at Fairbury, NE. He and Eleanor had several children: Watson, Auga, Delmer, Lillian, Arthur, Eva, Archie, Myrtle, and Ernest. The town of Helvey, NE near Beatrice was named for this Helvey family. Frank was sheriff of Jefferson County, NE for years.
Does anyone have more information on the town of Helvey or this family?
