Simonson The death of Thomas Bolton Simonson, after a short illness, occurred at his home here on Friday at the age of 82 years. He was born at Mill Village, Queens County, in 1842 and in his twenties came to Bridgewater in the employ of S. P. Benjamin and Company, by whom he was sent to Mosher River, Halifax County to take charge of lumbering operations. He was married in 1873 to Sarah Fulton Johnstone, daughter of the late John Johnstone, Upper Stewiacke. In 1878 he removed to Bridgewater and started a general store business, which he conducted until the fire of 1899. Soon after he received the appointment of deputy prothonotary, which he held until two years ago, when he resigned on account of ill health. He joined Acacia Lodge, No. 39, A.F. and A.M. in 1872 and became a Royal Arch Mason in 1908. He was an adherent of the Methodist Church and life long liberal. He is survived by his wife, two sons, John S., of Bridgewater, and Fred C. of Glace Bay, and one daughter, Mrs. A. L. Rafuse, of Bridgewater. The funeral will take place this afternoon and interment will be in Brookside Cemetry. Mr. Simonson will be very much missed in this town, where he lived so long and brought up his family. His familiar figure on our streets was a daily occurrence. The old landmarks of the town are gradually passing away only to become a memory. NOTE: The great fire of January 1899 in Bridgewater actually started in his hardware store which was in the basement of the old music hall. The fire destroyed most of the main street from the music hall all the way up on both sides of the street until it reached Dufferin Street. Contributed by Linda Bedford
