His death marks the passing of one who has lived in Plymouth county for 72 years and been a business man in Akron for half a century. William Simeon was born on a farm in Jackson county, Iowa, July 16, 1863, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Simeon, to Plymouth county in 1868. They homesteaded an eighty in Liberty township and lived in a sod shanty until a log cabin could be erected, being among the earliest settlers in that community. William Simeon assisted his father on the farm until 1886, when he went to Akron and engaged in the butcher business until 1889. He then rented a farm near Millnerville which he operated for five years. Returning to Akron, he engaged in the butcher business for a short time, later in general merchandising for several years, then a grocery and bakery and more recently a furniture store. In 1889 Mr. Simeon was married at Hawarden to Minnie Hitzeman, who died about fifteen years ago. Four children survive them: Mrs. Minnie Hammond, of LeMars; Frank of Sioux Falls; Henry, of Laurens; and Mrs. Fred Bertrand, of Vermillion, South Dakota. On December 24, 1931, Mr. Simeon was married to Carrie Raish, who survives him, as do also the following brothers and sisters: Joe and Phil, of Le Mars; Peter, of Sioux City; Mrs. August Luken, LeMars; Mrs. Hannah Hitzeman, Los Angeles, California. His death is mourned by sixteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. The funeral services will be held at St. Joseph church in Akron at 9 o'clock this Tuesday morning, Rev. Charles Ernst officiating. William Simeon was interested in public affairs throughout his long life, was an active Democrat, had served his home town as Assessor for years, was Justice of Peace and was interested in church and various civic organizations. He was renominated for Assessor and Justice of Peace at the recent primary.
