Notes for JOSEPH HENRY SIMPSON:

Called "Joseph Hamilton Simpson" in family bible. In "Gwinnett Co., Georgia Deaths 1818 - 1989"

, edited by Alice Smythe McCabe, note saying that he died of typhoid.

DEATH OF JOSEPH H. SIMPSON - Mr. Joseph H. Simpson died last Thursday about noon at his

father's home near Norcross after a long struggle with typhoid fever. He had been at the border of

death for several days and while his relatives and friends were prepared for the worst, his death

brought sorrow to the hearts of hundreds of his acquaintances who enjoyed his friendship and

who knew his many virtues. The deceased was a son of Mr. W. R. Simpson and was one of the

brightest young men of the county. He was a lawyer by profession and practived law in

Lawrenceville during the year 1894 and while here gained the friendship of our best citizens, who

heard of his untimely death with moistened eye and sorrowful heart. In the death of our friend,

Gwinnett Co. has lost one of her most promising young men, and we join with many of our

citizens in extending our sympathy to the bereaved in this sad affliction. (source - The Gwinnett
