The citizenship of this community was saddened again Sunday by the announcement of the death of Mrs. H.A. Simpson which occurred at her home in Mt. Vernon. Mrs. Simpson had suffered for some time with a severe malady. For some years she had been afflicted with rheumatism, but it left for another affliction to bring her to the end and thus leave so much sorrow among her loved ones and friends. Death came about two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Although afflicted for these years as she has with rheumantism, mrs. Simpson was an expert with the needle and was one of the recognized authorities on the fashions of the day. She did a great deal of work for the ladies of the town who always found it a delight to deal with her.
She was the second daughter of the late Mr. G.W. Adams, and was 59 years of age at the time of her death. Her membership was in the Mt. Vernon Presbyterian church and had been for more than forty years. She united with the church in 1885. The funeral was held from the home on Monday afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. Layton Fraser, the pastor, officiating, assisted by Rev. L.W. Walker, pastor fo the Methodist church. A large gathering of friends was present, bearing testimony to the esteem shown to the estimable lady.
Beside her husband, and one son, Mr. A.G. Simpson, of Savannah, she is survived by four brothers and two sisters, Messrs, John C. Adams, Savannah; George L. Adams, Atlanta, J. LeConte Adams, Decatur; Sam Adams, Gaha; Mrs. H.H. McAllister, Long Pond; Mrs. J.A. Powell, West Palm Beach, Florida. Mrs. Harry Smith, who died about a year ago, and who left a little son, was the daughter of Mrs. Simpson.
