THE FUNERAL OF THOMAS I'll.
SIMPSON HERE FRIDAY p. Nj.

Last week brief mention was
made Of the death of Mr.. Thos. H
Simpson which occurred Tuesday
evening, May s, at his home in De-
troit. Friday the body arrived here,
about 2:30 p. M, coming on spe-
cial train. Accompanying the re-
mains besides Mr.. Simpsons wife,
were some relatives, his private Sec
retary, friends, and associates, and
employees from his business inter-
ests. The private apartment of
Mrs. Simpson on the train, was the
finest ever on this road, and happen
ed to be the same as was occupied
by President Harding and party on
their recent trip to Florida. In all
over 40 persons came from Detroit,
returning in the evening.
The body which was in a hand
some bronze casket was taken to
Mr. Simpsons old home-now the
Simpson library here, where short
services were conducted by Rev. D.
r. Warne of the Presbyterian
church, which included the funeral
service of the church, and also the
reading Of Tennyson's Crossing the
Bar, and the hymn Lead Us oh
Father in Paths of Peace The pas
tor made a short talk, in which he
fittingly spoke of the natural de-
sire to return to ones old home
the scenes of our childhood.
Interment was made in the old
family lot in the local cemetery, be-
side the grave of Mr. Simpson S
mother. Because of his generous
and thoughtful act in giving monu-
ments here in honor of the soldiers
of the county, for both the Civil and
World veterans, the soldiers of those
wars attended the funeral in a body.
The veterans of the World war were
in uniform, and acted as an escort
to the body. That Mr.. Simpson was
dearly beloved in his home city of
Detroit, was evidenced by the profu-
sion Of floral tributes. There were
more than could be piled on a truck,
and at that we were informed that
less than half of the flowers sent to
his Detroit home, were brought
here. Those here included num-
ber of pieces from local organiza-
tions.
While here, certain members Of
the funeral party gave the assur-
arce that data covering Mr.. Simp-
sons life such as had been furnished
the Detroit papers. would be fur
nished this paper, but at the time Of
going to press it had not been re-
ceived. Mr.. Simpson having no rel
atives here and there being no place
where complete data can be
secured, we are not attempting to
give any sort of a history of his life
this week.

Last Friday the boulder from the
Gettysburg battlefield, on which the
Civil war veterans Simpson monu-
