Simon was said to be tall and mentally and physically strong. It is said that he loved to debate and enjoyed relating personal narratives. He admired excellence in others and was a good farmer. He tended not to be a risk-taker, however, and preferred careful attention to detail. Simon married Minerva Lake on July 28, 1848. They had lived on adjoining farms as children. Minerva, who had been born in Licking County, Ohio, on January 13, 1830, was the daughter of Jessie W. Lake Sr. (1802-1884) and Elizabeth Ann English (1803-1880). In 1866, Simon and Minerva moved from Ohio to Knox County, Illinois, where they had friends and relatives. When Simon was 60 and Minerva was 57, they decided to move to Nebraska. They took up residence on a farm east of Elk Creek, Nebraska [the exact location is unknown], which remained their home until Minerva's death. On the morning of June 11, 1904, Minerva was stricken with paralysis and she died on the evening of June 20, 1904. She was 74 years old. Funeral services were held at the home, conducted by Rev. A.S. Reeves of the Long Branch Baptist Church, and the remains were laid to rest in Mt. Zion Cemetery. Simon carried on without Minerva for nine years, living with his children: six years with his son, John Lake Overturf, of Nemaha county; one year with his grandson, John H. Overturf; and three years with his granddaughter, Mrs. T.S. Baird, in Elk Creek, NE. He died on December 27, 1913, in Mrs. Baird's home at the age of 86. The funeral was held two days later at the M.E. Church in Elk Creek; he was buried beside Minerva in the Mt. Zion Cemetery, east of town.
