Death of A. W. J. Simmons, aged 61.

Mr. Simmons was a Catholic and former resident of Erinville, near Stanley. He died of heart failure, and the doctors say it was brought on by malnutrition. He was buried at 6 p.m. 'in the local cemetery, where the row of new graves is steadily lengthening'. A funeral mass is held for him on the 23rd.
