Mrs. SIMMONS had been in comparatively poor health for some time, but on the morning of Tuesday felt no worse than usual, and assisted about the household duties until afternoon, when she was attacked by a congestive chill which proved fatal before night. The remains were interred at the Winsell Graveyard the following day.
