OBITUARY
Departed this life, on the 23d day of June, 1856, Robert  Simpson, of Scipio 
township, Meigs county, Ohio; in the 82nd year of his  age.

After enduring with Christian patience and fortitude, a painful illness for  
many months, he left his aged companion and a numerous family of children and  
grand children to mourn their loss.

The deceased had been a professor of the Christian religion, for nearly a  
half a century; and his neighbors and friends can bare him wit-witness, that 
he  
lived the life of a Christian.

The deceased was born on the 12th of February, 1775, at Nottingham, New  
Hampshire, where he lived until he emigrated to the (province) now State of  
Maine, in the year 1800.  In 1802 he married Lydia Longfellow, and settled  in 
the 
county of Penobscot, Maine where he resided until he removed to the  county of 
Meigs, Ohio - - the place of his decease, in the summer or fall of  1817 in 
the company with his older brother, who had explored the wilds of Ohio,  in the 
year 1787-8, in the company with the army commanded by Gen. Harmer.   Blessed 
are the dead who die in the Lord - - their works do follow them.
