Simpkins who was born April the 24th 1847 and joined the Baptist church-on 1859 and ordain¬ ed a deacon at Harmony Grove 1883 and departed this life on April 23rd, 1898 at his home in Conyers Ga., after a few hours of sickness, while we lose his help and council in prosecuting the work of the master and miss him in our meetings.
