Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Jessie Allen SIMPSON ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, June 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ Mrs. Jessie Allen Simpson died at her home in Glendora, Cal., Jan. 1, 1906. She was born in this city and spent a greater part of her life in this vicinity. On account of poor health she went to California about six years ago. On August 12, 1903, she was married to Ralph O. Simpson of Glendora. The funeral services were held Wednesday, Jan. 3rd, at 11 o'clock at her late home. Besides her father, and one brother Fred Allen, landlord of the Central House of this city, she leaves a brother in Belvidere, Ill., another brother in Travis, Mich., and a sister in Chicago. Mrs. Simpson was one of our most highly respected young ladies during her residence here, and the Glendora, (Cal.,) Gleaner in a lengthy obituary paid a beautiful tribute to the deceased. The closing words were "Such estimable qualities as Mrs. Simpson possessed could not fail to bind about her strong friends to whom parting was pain."
