Biography: The Daily Herald, Weatherford, Texas, Tuesday Evening, March 17, 1903 (front page) Died This Morning At his home in this city on South Main street this morning between 7 and 8 o'clock, Dr. Alonzo Sims died after an illness of about nine days' duration. The immediate cause of death is said to have been blood poison arising from a complication of kidney troubles.
The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family home on South Main, and the services will be conducted by Rev. F.M. Masters, pastor of the First Baptist church, of which denomination the deceased had been a member since early boyhood.
Interment will occur at the city cemetery. Dr. Sims was born near Canton, Madison county, Mississippi, May 6, 1847, and was therefore almost 56 years old when he died.
He studied medicine at the Baltimore Medical College where he graduated with honors, and took up the practice of his profession in Mississippi in 1867.
The year following, he married Miss Emma Tackett of Richmond, Mississippi, who, with seven children, two sons and five daughters, survive him. In 1874, he emigrated from Mississippi to Texas, settling at McKinney where he built up a good practice and lived until 1890 when he removed to Weatherford where he had since resided.
Dr. Sims was a kindly man of true and gentlemanly traits, and had many friends who now mourn his loss with his bereaved family.
