William Edward Simmons was born Oct. 18 1873, near Yeddo, Ind., and departed this life Feb. 18 1908 at Mellott, Ind. of typhoid fever age 34 years and 4 months.
He was united in marriage to Ada G. Orahood March 17 1897, to which union was born two daughters Edith and Ethel. Besides the wife and daughters he leaves a mother, three brothers, George of Cates, Ind., Roy and Manson of Mellott, Ind., one sisters, Mrs. Maggie Woodrow of Cates, Ind., and a host of friends to mourn his untimely death. Though not a member of any church, he always tried to follow the Golden Rule, and do unto others as he would have them do unto him. He was an honored member of the Order of Red Men of Veedersburg, Ind., who will miss a friend as well as a brother. During his fatal illness which extended over a period of seven weeks every effort possible was made to successfully combat the disease, but human agencies and human efforts were of no avail against the grim destroyer--death, and though mortal life passeth as a breath and the soul goes out into the Great Beyond, we feel that the Divine Architect has planned not unwisely, and that each soul will find its proper peace in hopes immortal temple. And some distant day somewhere, somehow, the threads of life will blend and though our paths do oft diverge, they'll have one common end.
