MRS. EMMA SIMMONS, 86 DEAD AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Had Lived in This Community Since She was 2 Years Old
Death came quietly Sunday forenoon to end the long illness of Mrs. Emma Simmons at her home here at the age of 86 years, 10 months, 15 days. Her funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. Ned Hill, assisted by the Rev. A. W. Burns, pastor, and burial was in the King City cemetery (sic).
Six grandsons of Mrs. Simmons were her pallbearers. They are Cleo Simmons, Carroll Simmons, Hershel Simmons, Carroll Simmons, LeRoy Keller and Jay Dee Keller. James B. Pettijohn sang "Beyond the Sunset," accompanied at the organ by Miss Iva Lee McCullough. A quartet composed of Mrs. E. E. Crouch, Fred G. Howitt and Mr. and Mrs. Ferd C. Howitt sang "In the Garden."
Mrs. Simmons' maiden name was Emma Catherine Workman. She was born Dec. 27, 1863, at Sciota, III., one of the eleven children of Phillip and Margaret Workman. She was 2 years old when her family moved to Missouri in 1886 (sic) to settle on a farm four miles west and three miles north of King City. She was yet a child when she joined the Star Chapel Methodist church (sic) and she remained a faithful member as long as she lived. She was married Oct. 10, 1888, to Isaac M. Simmons and they began housekeeping on a farm eight miles northwest of King City, which remained their home until the death of Mr. Simmons in 1936. She had lived in King City since 1943.
A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Mrs. Simmons also was a good neighbor and friend, and her pleasant disposition won her the love and admiration of all who knew her. She is survived by four children, Roy and Clark Simmons, Mrs. Clark Keller and Mrs. Robert Gibson, all of this community; three brothers, Harry Workman of Union Star, Ernie Workman of Lincoln, Ark., and John Workman of King City; and eight grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
