PlosEER GoSE.-Departed this life, at the
residence of Simeon Carroll, esq., in Franklin
county, Kentucky, on the Goth of May, 1853, MIR.
Simeon Edwards, in the S6th year of his age.
The deceased was born in South Carolina, and
came to Kentucky in 1887, and participated ac-
lively in all the hardships of the wilderness, and
in all the skirmishes with the Indians, incident to
that early period.
As volunteer he in General Whitley's
campaign against the Northwestern Indians in
1890, and in General SCOTS and General Wilkin-
sons in 1871; and was honorabiy discharged at
the end OF each. At other times be rendered val
liable services TO the new settlements a guard
a ranger, a scout, and spy.
He was married in early life, but lost his com
panion without being fortunate to raise any
children.
He has long resided in Franklin county, and
assisted to cut the timber from the virgin forest
where Fran kfort now stands; and lived to see the
first log cabin, which be built, succeeded by a
second stately capitol, and to hear the warwhoop
Of the savage succeeded by the shrill whistle Of the
locomotive.
Though good citizen, and industrious and
frugal, ne succeeded in securing only bare com
petence, and died without having ever receive
lands or pension for his military services
The venerable pioneer has gone at last to his
eternal rest Let the present and the rising gene.
ration pay tribute of respect to this relic Of
the past.
