The following obituary was shared by Monte Symmonds (47530870).
"Died, at his late residence, on the 27th day of May, 1872, our esteemed brother, John Symmons, age 88 years, 1 month and 20 days. Brother Symmons was much afflicted in his old age, not being able to attend the meetings with the church of which he was a member but seldom during the last few years of his life; though he endured his affliction with fortitude and patience, looking forward and anxiously desiring to be clothed upon with that house which is from heaven, that immortality and eternal life which is brought to light through the Gospel. Brother Symmons was a constant reader and a great lover of the holy scriptures, and the "Signs of the Times," which gave him much comfort in his declining days. I think it may be said of him truly, he has gone from the evil to come, and as a shock of corn fully ripe, he has been gathered into that rest that remains for the people of God. By request the write attended the funeral, and tried to comfort the bereaved friends. May the Lord comfort his bereaved children."
