Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 25: An Illustrated Magazine; April 1, 1890
OW the particulars are at hand, and the telegram confirmed, concerning the death and burial of Elder Edgar Dilworth Simmons, who died on February 4th, 1890, while faithfully discharging his duties as a missionary servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, at Aintab, Turkey.
Some fourteen days before his departure from this life, Brother Simmons was taken seriously ill, and his sickness soon developed a severe attack of small-pox, from which he succumbed on the 4th day of February, as related above. Brother Simmons was associ ated in his labors by Brother Frederic Die terle, a local brother of German parentage, who faithfully waited upon him, and to whom we are indebted for the sad intelligence of Elder Simmons' demise.
Brother Dieterle informs us that the Arme nian Protestants were kind enough to offer their assistance in burying Brother Simmons' remains. This was thankfully accepted, and on the sth day of February, 1890, Brother Simmons' mortal remains were laid to rest in the Protestant Armenian graveyard, near the graves of what were most likely those of de parted American missionaries, who pioneered the way of reformation in that far-off land.
