THOS. S. SIMMONS DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home in
Mancy Valley.
Held the Office ol Justice .ol Ihe Peace
Fifteen Years. Had a Brilliant War
Be cord.
Another of our prominent Sulli
van county citizens lias passed
away in the person of Thos. 8. Sim
mons, who died Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock at his home in Mun
cy Valley. IJowel trouble which
necessitated an operation was the
cause of his demise.
Mr. Simmons was a man that
commanded the respect of all who
knew him for his personal charac
ter ai.d unimpeachable integrity.
He was prominently connected wit h
theG. A. R. and 1.0.0. F. Orders
aiul his death leaves a vacancy
in these societies that will I**
hard to fill. The announcement
of his death was received by all
with expressions of regret and sor
row.
Thos. S. Simmons was born near
Sonestown. Pa., and was the son of
Jacob Simmons one of the first set
tlers in that part of our county.
When but a lad he enlisted iu the
84 Regiment Penn. V.and served
throughout the war of the Rel>ell
ion as a private soldier. His regi
ment was a fighting one and Mr
Simmons took part in all the des
perate ttattles in which the Army
of the Potomac was engaged. At
ter Appomattox Mr. Simmons re
turned to his home and the )>alance
of his life was spent as a farmer.
He lived on the old homestead near
Sonestown until about three years
ago when he moved to Muney Val
ley where his sterling qualitieH
were recognized by all his neigh
bors. He occupied various town
ship offices, was a Justice of Peace
for fifteen years and was serving his
second term as Jury Commissioner
at the time of his death. The Sim
mons family were a conspicuous
example of loyalty and patriotism.
Of eight l)oys five went to the front
and the (1. A. K. Post of Sones
town takes its name from the
youngest, Simpson S. Simmons,
who was killed in the engagement
at Mine Run; Isaac, his brother, al
so was killed at the battle of Chan
cellorville. The life of Thos. S.
Simmons furnished an example of
patriotism, integrity and kindness
which will long survive him. As
his comrades and friends in suc
ceeding years gather al>out his grave
and strew it with memorial (lowers,
his bright and cheery face, his
hearty laugh and above all his loy
alty and sterling honesty will be,
recalled with fond affection.
Mr. Simmons was nearly til yrs.
of age. He leaves a wife, two sons
and two daughters to mourn his
death. The funeral services were
held Thursday at 2. p. m. at Sones
town. _
