Thursday, May I, 1919 EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Page Two IRE PASSING OF FATHER SIMPSON j The Rev. J. E. H. Simpson who for several years has made his summer home on the south side of the river, passed sudden ly away last Saturday night. He had only returned the day before, after being two months in the Good Samaritan hospital. He had enjoyed the drive from Port land and showed great pleasure in seeing his little home again. That evening (Friday) he com plained of being tired, and soon after a hemorrhage of the brain occurred, and he relapsed into unconsciousness, from which he did not rally and the end came. Thus closed the earthly career o f one whom it can be truly said, that “ he was a good man, full o f faith and of the Holy Ghost,” and in practical manifestation one who did justly, loved mercy and walked humbly with his God. Although of very strong, religious convictions, his loving spirit em braced all of whatsoever faith or unfaith. It was sufficient for him that they were in need of his help and services. So he drew to himself many who were not of his faith or fold, and thus his ministry extended far,beyond the bounds of his parish. The sym pathy of the entire community will go out to his bereaved family. The funeral services took place Tuesday, in his former church, St. Mark's, Portland, with in terment in the Riverview ceme tery. Unfortunately his son John who is in the U. S. naval service was not not able to arrive in time. He was born at Drumsnatt, County Monahan, Ireland, about 58 years ago. His father. Rev. Samuel H. Simpson, his grand father and great grandfather all were ministers o f the Episcopal church of Ireland, the sister church of the Episcopal church of the United States of America.
