Simeon P Hendrickson, No Marker
Father of Alice M. Hendrickson Kimball and Ida Hendrickson Hanna; Son of Jordan Hendrickson.
Age 85 Years - Simeon, an early Colorado pioneer, had lived in Silverton about fifteen years. He was born in Illinois and "went west" to Colorado with a Pike's Peak party in 1860 when he was a boy of nineteen years. The long and difficult trip over the plains was in a covered wagon. In Colorado he lived in Black Hawk, Central City, then Animas City.
In Animas City, on March 15, 1877, Simeon married Mrs. Louise E. Wilkinson, the widow of Mahlon G. Wilkinson. Louise, who was called Lou, was a native of Indiana, and lived at Greencastle. Her father was a member of the Indiana Legislature for a number of years. Her first husband, Mahln Wilkinson, was a cousin of James F. Harlan of Iowa, an honored and respected Sioux Indian agent, and registrar of the U.S. Land office at Vermillion, Dakota Territory. The Wilkinsons many have lived in Dakota Territory for a time. Mahlon Wilkison died in 1870 Washington, D.C., at which time he was a "department lawyer" in that city.
The widowed Mrs. Wilkinson came to the San Juan area where other family members lived. At least two of her children came with her, a daughter and her son, Bert (often spelled Burt) Wilkinson. Bert "went wrong". On September 4, 1881, when he was nineteen years old, he was lynched in his Silverton jail cell by the vigilantes. He was accused of the shooting and killing of the very popular Silverton marshal, Clate Ogsbury, althought it was never definitely established that he fired the shot that killed the marshal.
After their marriage, Simeon and Louise Hendrickson became pioneer ranchers in the San Juan area. The death of Louise's son, Bert, came four years after their marriage. Simeon and Louise had three daughters, Alice Marian Hendrickson (later Mrs. Orlo Kimball) being the one best known in Silverton. Another was Ida, who married Bert Hanna, and the name of the third daughter was not found. Louise Wilkinson Hendrickson died in California in about 1911, and after her death, Simeon, her husband, lived in Silverton with their daughter, Alice Kimball.
Simeon's friends gathered at the home of Mrs. Kimball to pay their last respects, and included in that number were old timers James McNamara, Sr., Henry Forsyth, L. H. Sims and George Jewett. Rev. A. C. Best delivered a short sermon, after which the remains were followed to Hillside, where the old pioneer was committed to Mother Earth.
