Biography

BURIAL Saint Joseph Cemetery Sturgeon Bay, Door County, Wisconsin, USA

Adam Simon died at his home on N. Court Street August 27, 1911 following about eight years of poor health, death being due to a complication of heart, liver and kidney diseases. He was born October 28, 1843 in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio, and at the time of his death he was 67 years, 9 months and 27 days old.

He removed to Chicago with his parents when a child and at the age of 18 years, started out to make his own living and took up farming, which he followed for some years. Later, he went to Effingham, Illinois, where he was employed in a brick yard and where he was married to Miss Victoria Hurst in 1865. Soon after his marriage, he moved to West Bend, Wis., and engaged in selling notions, which proved profitable as he remained there for 15 years.

He next moved to this city and finally settled on the farm in the Town of Sevastopol, and besides clearing up the land and tilling the soil, he operated a lime kiln for over 15 years and also sold notions throughout the county. Failing health finally compelled him to leave the farm and in November 1909, he sold it to his brother P.J. Simon and moved to this city, occupying the Helmholz residence with his family, where death occurred.

He is survived by his widow and nine children: Joseph Simon, Mrs. John Pledl and Mrs. Jacob Hartel, all of Milwaukee; Mrs. John Koltz of Kenosha; Mrs. Joseph Fehring of the town of Nasweaupee; Mrs. Herman Simon of Town of Egg Harbor; John Simon of Kenosha; Barbara and Pauline, at home. Also four brothers and five sisters, namely: John, Frank, Kilian and Peter, all of this city and county, Mrs. George Spaeth of Stratford, Wis., Sister Ludvina of St. Francis, Wis; Mrs. John Beyer of Egg Harbor; Clara and Mary of this city.

All of his children were at the funeral except Joseph. Other relatives here were Mesdames George and John Spaeth of Stratford, Wis.; Clara Simon of Cambellsport, Wis. and Alfred Simon of Appleton.

The funeral was held at St Joseph's Catholic Church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment at the Catholic cemetery. Pallbearers were John Shinktgen, John Henkel, Joseph Klotz, Sr., Jacob Jacobs, Nick Moeller and John Heldmann.
