"Died, at Jackson, Mississippi, William T. Simpson, second son of the late John Simpson of this county.
The deceased died in the prime of his years. He was noble and magnanimous, true in friendship, and incapable of harboring an unkind thought. The writer knew him from the cradle to the grave.
His gentle, loving heart was ever ready to forgive an injury. His generous hand was ever open to the necessities of the oppressed. His death probes deeply the hearts of many dear relatives and friends. But among all who mourn, none as so utterly bereaved and desoate as his beloved brother Marion, who has shared with him all the vicissitudes--its sorrows and its joys, its hopes unattained, and all the desires that multiply to make up the cup of human suffering. Requiescat in pace. J.G.F." [Written by Maternal First cousin, Juriah Graham Fowler, Unknown Newspaper Obituary].
William T. Simpson died in Jackson, Miss., January 25, after a painful illness of three weeks'. He was 31 years old, was born in Madison County, Ala., where he lived till 1873, when he emigrated to Mississippi, from thence to Jefferson County, Ark., where he remained till his last illness. His brothers desiring the treatment of eminent physicians, carried him to Jackson, Miss. Human skill proved unavailing. Death claimed him as his own. He occupied a high position in the confidence of the people, was one of the rising young men of the country, and leaves a host of friends and relatives to lament his untimely death."
