Upon arriving at Little River on Wednesday evening, April 6th, I was startled to hear of the sudden death of my old friend and neighbor, Mr. Perry Sims. A few minutes later I met his son, Franklin Sims, who invited me to attend and conduct the funeral services of his father, which took place at 11 o’clock a.m. on the following day.
The services were conducted in the following manner: A very large congregation met at the residence of the deceased and, when all was in readiness, the bereaved children and relatives, accompanied by a great procession (reaching fully half a mile) of people repaired to the Bean Cemetery, where members of Victoria Lodge No. 212, I.O.O.F., and of Como Lodge No. 104, K. of P., sang a very solemn and impressive song, which was followed by Scripture reading and prayer was offered, after which the friends and relatives took their farewell look; the coffin then being lowered to its resting place, members of the Orders above mentioned marched by, each depositing in the grave a twig of evergreen in honor—saying, “Live forever.”
This was done in honor to Mr. Sims, his son, Franklin, being an honored member of each of these Orders.
Mr. Perry Sims was the son of Wm. Sims; was born September 27, 1829, in Monroe County, Ohio. He moved with his parents to Indiana in the year 1832; thence with his own family to Piatt County, Illinois, in the spring of 1865, where they resided until the fall of 1878, then moving to Rice County, Kansas, and in the spring of 1879 traded for and moved to a farm one mile north of where the city of Little River is now located, where he resided until his death, which occurred on Tuesday evening, April 4th, 1893.
His beloved wife preceded in death August 27, 1891. Five children, a son and four daughters, survive to mourn the loss; the son and two younger daughters remaining here on the farm, and the elder daughters being married, one residing in Illinois and the other in Ft. Scott, this State.
The children desire to express their thanks to the different Orders and neighbors for the sympathy and help rendered in their time of trouble.
The services were conducted by the undersigned.
