At his home, No. 3 Amherst street, Rochester, yesterday morning occurred the death of C. Rollin Simmons, a former business man of this village and who was well-known in this vicinity. While Mr. Simmons had not been well for some time past, his death was extremely sudden and entirely unexpected and came as a great shock to his family and friends. He had, with his family, been spending the summer at his cottage, Maplehurst, on Canandaigua lake, going to Rochester on Tuesday of this week to resume his employment there. Death was due to heart weakness, the outcome of long continued illness, and a severe case of tonsillitis. Mr. Simmons was born in town of South Bloomfield and most of his life had been spent in and about Canandaigua. He had resided in Rochester for the past six years. Besides his widow, he leaves one daughter, Ruby, and one brother, John, of Bristol. The funeral services will be attended from the home of Mrs. Frank A. Ellis, 164 Gibson street, tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Interment will be in Woodlawn.
