General Notes: Husband - William Simcox

---

He remained on the farm until 1866, when he sold and engaged under the firm name of Kirk & Simcox in the general dry goods trade at Sandy Lake, Mercer County, PA. Seven years later he bought the interest of Mr. Kirk and subsequently was joined by J. A. McCormick, who in five years purchased the interest of Mr. Simcox. Three years later Mr. McCormick sold the entire stock to Mr. Simcox, who thereafter conducted the general store. He owned other valuable property within the place, all of which, together with his stock of merchandise, was made by the work of his own hands and brains through legitimate business methods. [HMC 1909, 846]

Public spirited, Mr. Simcox took much interest in his home village, and held the office of councilman and burgess of the borough. For several years he served as director of the public schools. Politically, he was a supporter of the principles of the Democratic Party. In his fraternal affiliations he was a member of the A. F. & A. M. and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. In church relations he was connected with the Methodist Episcopal denomination. [HMC 1909, 847]
