The double funeral of Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Simpson of Spring Garden, was held at the Baptist Church there Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. B.F. Dinwiddie, pastor-evangelist of Eldon. Burial was made in one grave at the Spring Garden Cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson were married November 14, 1865, and had lived in Miller County since that time. Their seventy years of married life was probably the longest nuptial relationship that is recorded in the county.
With the exception of five years they had lived in California, they spent their entire life on part of the original tract of land Mr. Simpson's father was deeded by the government. The name Robert E. Simpson is mentioned in Gerald Schultz's Miller County Biography as associate judge in 1840, presiding judge in 1842 and 1854, and representative of Miller County in 1856.
Mr. Simpson's father was Robert Simpson who settled in Miller County in 1828 and his name is given in Miller County history with those who came to the county from Kentucky before 1860. That there were few families in Miller County at that time is certain because of the fact that in 1840 when the first census was taken in the county there was but 2,282 persons enumerated and 489 of those were in Saline Township where Spring Garden is now located.
Mr. Simpson said in November 1929, when Mr. and Mrs. Simpson celebrated their sixty-fourth wedding anniversary, that when his father moved to what is now Spring Garden the country there was wild and that this part of Saline Township was then a part of Cole County. He said he hunted deer and other wild animals on the prairie where Eldon is now located. He was born there September 16, 1847.
William Dixon Simpson, son of Robert E. and Keziah Greenup Simpson, was born September 16, 1847 at Spring Garden, Mo., and was married to Sarah Jane Henley, who was born January 27, 1850, the daughter of James Henley and Nancy Duncan Henley. Mr. Simpson died March 23, 1936 and Mrs. Simpson, March 21, 1936. They are survived by six children, Otto Simpson of Kansas City, Nathan Simpson of Chicago, Ira Simpson at home, Mrs. Ida Muir of Versailles, Mrs. Addie Johnston at home, and Ada of Tulsa, Okla., three grandchildren, William Simpson and Mary Kathryn Simpson of Kansas City, and Mrs. Helen Louise Taylor of San Francisco. All were present for the funeral except Mrs. Taylor.
