The Bridport Sun
Thursday, 24 October 1901


         At Cornwall
         
         SIMEON S. ROCKWELL, a long and favorably known
       citizen of Cornwall, died at his residence last
       Saturday morning, aged 86 years. He was in the
       fourth generation of those of his name who have
       lived in this town. He leaves a widow and two
       married daughters. He is widely known in con-
       nection with the sheep business. In conjunction
       with his brother, the late S. B. ROCKWELL and 
       his brother-in-law, the late HON. R. J. JONES,
       he took sheep to California by the Panama Istemus
       route before the civil war. An extensive reader,
       with positive opnions which he freely expressed,
       he was a straigh-forward gentleman of the old
       school. While he was by no means an office seek-
       er he bore the message of his townsmen at the
       State capitol in the years 1858-59. More than
       60 years ago he united with the Congregational
       church, of which he proved himself a worthy
       member. The funeral was conducted from the
       house Monday afternoon, Rev. S. H. Barnum
       officiating.
