Mrs. Simpson, wife of George Simpson, residing at 1005 Cedar street, died yesterday morning after an illness of a week from influenza and other complications. Mrs. Simpson was a resident of LeMars nearly all her life, coming here when a girl with her parents. Mrs. Simpson was fifty years of age at the time of her death. Her maiden name was Mary Catherine Kern and she was born at Galena, Ill., on July 19, 1868. When she was a girl of eleven her parents moved to LeMars, in 1879 and this has been the family home since.

To their union six children were born, one, a girl, Mary, dying in infancy. Chris and Will died eight years ago within a day or two of each other. Three children, with the father, are left to mourn her death. They are Frank, May and Gladys.
