OBITUARY..

After almost two years of illness
and distress. 1t was the viii Of God. to
relieve our friend, Frederick VIM.
simon. Of his suffering, on the 18th
Of July. 1912.
He was born In Bischweiler. Esas
July IL, 1874. As at that time the
Kline province Of Elsas belonged to
France. he was compelled to serve in
the French army and also took part
In the war Of 1901. Then, with
many Of his comrades, he was taken
prisoner. His recollections of this
time were not very pleasant, and he
was very glad when he was permit
ted to return to his home. On &C
count OF the wal. business in his home
town became dull, the property fell
In value from which the family had
heavy financial losses, which was a
great drawback n the young mans
future life.
In the year Of 1872 Mr.. Simon unit
ed In holy matrimony with Amelia
Schimm. who has been a true and
faithful companion to him for forty
years, and gladly partook the joys
and sorrows with him.
In the year Of 1879 the family with
relatives and friends came to Kansas
and settled south Of Raymond in the
Salt Marsh. They came under the
leadership Of a man who seemed to
be a friend but proved to be a &c.
ceiver. A hard time was before
ITEM. so after while they left this
location and moved to a farm four
miles east Of Ellinwood. Here the
family had to begin anew and after
years Of tOilsome labor and much
self denial they were able to call this
their own.
On account Of the illness Of Mrs.
Simon they decided to move to town
and were very much pleased at the
thought Of spending their last years
in peace and rest, but Man proposes
and God disposes," for instead Of
peace and nest there were many days
OF sickness and suffering. What the
dear friend endured during the last
eighteen months those only knew
who were with him. As much medi.
cal skill as he had, there was no re-
lief and whatever the disease might
have been it took him from our
midst.
From childhood on being familier
with the Methodist church, he be-
came a member by Rev. Matthaei in
1881 and remained a true and faith
full soul to his end.
Besides his mourning wife, he
leaves a son, Felix Simon, Of Jeffer-
son, Oklahoma, two daughters, Mrs.
Amelia Chafant and Mrs. Carl Thur.
row, and an adopted son, Eddie Hell
wig, besides other relatives and
many friends. Two Of their child.
rem died in infancy in Germany, and
one in this country.
The funeral services were held at
the German NJ. E. church on Tues
day afternoon, and were largely at.
tended by the many friends Of the
deceased. Rev. Matthaei otficiated
and the choir sang some very nice
appropriate songs. Intement was
in the Ellinwood cemetery.-Leader.
