Additional Comments:
Please note:  Miss Vonnie Harl was the second wife of Oscar W. Simmons.  
Oscar's first wife was Fannie Mae Clark.  Oscar and Fannie married on 8 Jan 
1908 in Hardinsburg, Breckinridge County, Ky.  Oscar and Fannie divorced after 
having two sons, Herman Simmons born 17 August 1909  at Vanzant in Breckinridge 
County, and died 8 Nov 1959 in Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio.  Herman never 
married; and their second son is Dennis Simmons who went by "Denver", who was 
born 22 Oct 1912 at Vanzant, Breckinridge County, Ky and died 8 Jan 1977 in 
Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio.  Dennis Simmons married Harriet Agnes Sweet 28 
May 1935 in Mt. Vernon, Knox County, Ohio, and had 8 children.  Fannie Mae 
Clark Simmons and her two sons moved to the Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio 
area shortly after her divorce from Oscar, and eventually remarried in Akron, 
Summit County, Ohio to Daniel Ellsworth Unkle.  Fannie and Daniel had no 
children.  Fannie Mae Clark was born 15 Dec 1887 in Breckinridge County, Ky and 
died 8 Feb 1961 in Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio.  Fannie is the daughter of 
William Edward "Bud" Clark and Martha Angeline O'Dell who are buried at the 
Hopewell Cemetery in Ohio County, Ky which is near Askins in Breckinridge 
County, Ky.  I just wanted to clarify that the survivors in the above obituary 
are not the only family that Oscar W. Simmons had who survived him.  I am in 
contact with Oscar's granddaughter, Norma Jean Simmons Demetrakes, who is a 
Clark cousin of mine.
