WINCHESTER - ANDREW R. SIMMONS, aged 40 years, 10 months and 24 days, was interred in the Bunker Hill Cemetery on Wednesday. Rev. Stull of the Evangelical Church conducted the services. A large concourse of sorrowful friends followed his mortal remains to their last resting place.
The deceased was a man of irreproachable character and rare good qualities, having a large circle of friends and very few enemies. He was a useful member of this community and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Always jovial with a pleasant word for everybody. Mr. S. was a faithful and devoted member of the Evangelical Church, of Independence. Peace to his ashes. The grief stricken wife and children have the sympathy of the entire community.
