Cedartown Standard, Cedartown, GA., November 15, 1900
Cedartown was greatly shocked Monday morning by a sad message announcing the 
death Sunday night in Atlanta of Mrs. B. F. Sims, one our city,s most prominent 
and popular ladies. It was not known to many that she had been critically ill, 
though she had been in bad health ever since her return from Carolina this 
summer and has in fact been a secret and patient sufferer for years. She was 
taken to Dr. Holmes sanatorium in Atlanta a couple of weeks since to undergo a 
delicate and difficult operation, which it was thought would effect a cure. The 
operation was performed last Thursday, and Mrs. Sims rallied from its effects 
nicely. A change for the worse occurred Saturday, however and she passed away 
Sunday night. The remains were brought to Cedartown at noon Monday, Col. C. P. 
Ball thoughtfully tendering the use of his private car to the heart-broken 
husband and mother, Mrs. E. J. Bobo, for their sad home-coming. A large number 
of sorrowing friends met the party at the station, and the remains were taken 
at once to St. James Episcopal Church, where they remained until the funeral 
service at 3 p.m. In accordance with the wishes of the deceased, the funeral 
was simple and unostentatious. The beautiful burial service of the Episcopal 
Church was read at the grave by Rev. Geo. E. Benedict and all that was mortal 
of this excellent lady was consigned to its last resting place in the presence 
of a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Cedartown has lost in this death 
one of her brightest and most beloved ladies. She was born in Spartanburg, S. 
C., Dec. 4th, 1864, and as Miss Emma Bobo was united in marriage on Nov. 17th, 
1887 with Dr. B. F. Sims. They came to Cedartown immediately after their 
marriage, and this has been their home ever since. A lady of attractive 
personality, bright intellect and cultured tastes, she was naturally a social 
leader, and had a large circle of warm friends who will sorely miss her. The 
husband and two sweet little daughters of ten and twelve years are left to 
mourn the loss of a devoted wife and mother, and the entire community 
sympathizes deeply with them in their great bereavement. (Cedartown Standard, 
November 15, 1900)
