Son of Montraville and Eliza Utley, husband of Darcus Ann Harper

Civil War:
Lieut
Company K
58th Regiment
Indiana Infantry

OBITUARY. The late Simon F. Utley, who died at his home near Waterloo, on the 18th of November last, had a most creditable war record. He enlisted in the Fifty-eighth Indiana regiment in Gibson county, Indiana, in October 1861, and served in Company B until the fall of ‘64 when he was commissioned into Company K, with which company he served until the close of the war. Mr. Utley’s regiment saw lots of hard fighting. V. T. Kirk, of this city, who was a comrade of his, informs us that Company B went into the fight at Chickamauga with sixty-three men and three commissioned officers and came out with only twenty men and one officer. Mr. Utley had been a resident of Kingman county about twenty years and he was an honored citizen, his many exemplary qualities winning for him the esteem, confidence and respect of all who knew him. He was fifty-eight years old; had been married twice. His second wife and four small children, and three grown children by his first wife, survive him.
