Church, who was assisted by Rev. J.G. Forester of Decatur and former pastor of the Methodist church at Jacksboro. The interment took place at Oakwood cemetery. Many relatives from other Texas towns were called here by the death of Mrs. Simpson among them were - Capt. and Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Palmer of Dallas, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Perkins of Greenville, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Perkins and Frank Timberlake of Decatur, Mrs. Richards of Fort Worth. Rev. J.G. Forester came by invitation to assist in the burial services, as he perfomred the marriage ceremony in June 1907, that made Miss Lora Tmberlake and Mr. J.P. Simpson, husband and wife, and it was fitting that he should perform the last sad rites of the lovely June bride. The Jacksboro Gazette Jacksboro, Texas April 2, 1908
