Butler Herald, Apr. 17, 1930 A BELOVED WOMAN SUCCUMBS TO DEATH.
SATURDAY LAST, JUST AS THE NEW AND BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY WAS USHERED IN, THE SPIRIT OF MRS. S.D. SIMS WINGED ITS WAY TO THE CELESTIAL CITY, HER PASSING OCCURRING AT THE HOME OF HER DEVOTED NEPHEW AND NIECE, MR. AND MRS. J.W. EDWARDS, WITH WHOM SHE HAD MADE HER HOME FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS, EXCEPT AT INTERVALS WHEN THE HOME OF ANOTHER LOVING NEPHEW AND NIECE, THAT OF DR. AND MRS. W.W. EDWARDS, WAS SHARED WITH HER. IN EACH SHE WAS GIVEN EVERY COMFORT OF LIFE AND WAS HAPPY IN EITHER HOME, PERHAPS NO WOMAN EVER LIVED IN BUTLER WHO WAS MORE UNIVERSALLY LOVED AND RESPECTED, AND CERTAINLY NONE EVER HAD A WIDER CIRCLE OF DEVOTED FRIENDS THAN DID MRS. SIMS. SHE WAS IN HER 82ND YEAR, AND HAD BEEN A PATIENT SUFFERER FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, BUT WAS CONFINED TO HER BED ONLY A FEW HOURS. AFTER A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE OF MORE THAN 30 YEARS SHE SUFFERED BY DEATH THE LOSS OF A COMPANION ABOUT 22 YEARS AGO, SINCE WHICH TIME SHE HAD MADE HER HOME WITH NEAR RELATIVES HAVING NO CHILDREN OF HER OWN.
IN THE LIFE OF MRS. SIMS ONE FOUND ALL THAT THE WORD BEAUTIFUL COULD IMPLY. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER, POSSESSING A NOBLE HERITAGE. FEW PEOPLE COULD ADAPT THEMSELVES TO CIRCUMSTANCES AS DID MRS. SIMS, FOR IN ALL HER SUFFERING SHE WAS PATIENT, SWEET, KIND AND GENTLE, EVER THINKING OF THE WELFARE OF OTHERS, FIRST. SHE COMES FROM ONE OF THE OLD ARISTOCRATIC AND PIONEER FAMILIES OF WEST GEORGIA. HER FATHER, MR. WILLIAM BUSSEY, WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROPERTY OWNERS AND MOST INFLUENTIAL CITIZENS IN AND AROUND CUSETTA, GA. AND HER MOTHER A HIGHLY CULTURED LADY.
MRS SIMS WAS A CONSECRATED,CHRISTIAN WOMAN AND A DEVOTED MEMBER OF THE BUTLER METHODIST CHURCH, WHERE SHE ENJOYED THE PRIVILEGE OF WORSHIPPING UNTIL HER HEALTH FAILED HER.
MANY LOVING FRIENDS ACCOMPANIED THE REMAINS TO TAZWELL SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHERE THEY WERE LAID TO REST IN THE FAMILY CEMETERY FOLLOWING IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL SERVICES CONDUCTED BY REV. J.T. ADAMS, AND THE FOLLOWING ACTING AS PALL BEARERS; MESSRS J.W. EDWARDS, W.W. EDWARDS, J.W. EDWARDS II, FELTON OWENS, L.T. PEED AND FRED PEED, JR.
THE FLORAL TRIBUTES WERE MANY AND BEAUTIFUL ATTESTING THE GREAT ESTEEM IN WHICH SHE WAS HELD.
