OBITUARY
George B. Simpson was born at La Prairie, Hancock County, Illinois, January 15, 1864. When twelve years old he came with his parents to Knox County, Missouri, and excepting a brief stay in Adair County, he lived here until his sudden death, which occurred at his home in this city Wednesday, July 12, the immediate cause of his demise being cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Simpson was united in marriage with Lillie Baker, November 24, 1886. To them were born eight children; five sons and three daughters, seven of whom survive, one daughter dying in infancy. He was a loving and faithful father and husband, a good neighbor and an honest and painstaking workman. In his early life he united with the Disciples, but later became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church in which communion her died.
The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, at the church in this city by Rev. C. N. Wood, his former pastor and personal friend, after which the body was laid to rest in the Rock Creek cemetery, whither they were escorted by many of his comrades in the Modern Woodmen. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends who pray the dear Lord will bless and sustain them in their hour of sorrow.
We'll meet again, how sweet the word,
How soothing in its sound
Like strains of far-off music heard
On some enchanted ground.
REV. C. N. WOOD.
