She was stricken with paralysis and lingered three weeks. All that devoted ones could do was of no avail. She was born and reared in Augusta, Ga. Her maiden name was Butler. She married Mr. Asbury Smith of this county. He was killed during the war. After many years, she was united in marriage to Mr. James Simmons, who preceded her to the Heavenly Home years ago. Mrs. Simmons was a consistent member of Collinsworth Church, where she was laid to rest on Saturday in the presence of many sorrowing friends. Revs. J.T. Ansley and J.G. Harrison, her pastor, peformed the last sad rites. The beautiful floral tributes betokened the esteem and love in which she was held. Her loving, loyal daughters, Mesdames Smith and Daniel were at her bedside when the summons came. M.A.W. A Card of Thanks We extend our sincere thanks to the physician, minister and kind-hearted friends for the kindness which they manifested in so many ways during the illness and death of our dear mother and grandmother, Mrs. Jennie Simmons. Although our hearts are sore with grief we feel and realize what a blessing it is to have kind friends and we are confident that friendship was never shown when it was more needed or appreciated than during this period of sickness. We can only offer them our deepest thanks but God will reward them in Heaven for their works on earth.
