Tuesday, January 19, 1915
Simon BYBEE the fourth oldest child of Pleasant and Nancy BYBEE, was born near the present site of Mentone, Ind., on February 21, 1851, and died at his home in North Judson, Ind., January 14, 1915, aged 63 years, 10 months and 23 days.
He was one of thirteen children, Cyrus (BYBEE], an infant unnamed, Eliza Jane [BYBEE], Simon [BYBEE], Milton [BYBEE], all deceased, Cornelius [BYBEE], Mary [BYBEE] and Sarah [BYBEE], twins, Wm. Lawson [BYBEE], John L. [BYBEE], Anna M. [BYBEE], Elmer [BYBEE] and Melvin [BYBEE].
He received his education in the public schools of Kosciusko and Fulton counties, where he taught afterward with marked success, and later took a course of study in Franklin college from which school he graduated in 1879. On the 27th day of April, 1875, he was united in marriage to Melissa BRYANT, and to this union two children were born, Cevilla SMITH and Lulu DILTS.
After receiving his degree in Franklin college, he was ordained as a Baptist minister, and moved with his family to Pulaskiville, Indiana, where he was called to preach. The next year he accepted a call to preach at Kewanna. This position he filled for nearly six years, and during this time, in 1882, was raised to the degree of Master Mason.
In the fall of 1885 he moved to North Judson, Ind., and gave up the ministry and took up the study of law, and was admitted to the Starke county bar in 1886, of which he was at the time of his death, the second oldest member. On September 15, 1889 he established the North Judston News, and edited this paper for many years when he sold out and gave his entire time to the practice of law, and in this capacity he served the town and township until the time of his death.
He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, Melissa [BYBEE], two daughters, Cevilla and Lulu, three grandchildren, three sisters, five brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends.
