AN 0L3 LANDMARK REMOVED
Pitting Tribut* te a Pioneer
Citizen.
The funeral services of Mr. Nich-
olas P. Sims who departed this life
Saturday afternoon were held yes-
terday afternoon at two o'clock at
the residence of Judge Ο. E. Dun-
lap In Weet End. The last sad
rites were conducted by Rev. C. R.
Wright pastor of the Methodist
church assisted by Rev. A. Davis
who has been an intimated friend of
Mr. Sims for fifty years. Rev.
Davis paid a fitting tribute to the
life and character of the deceased.
A large crowd attended the funeral
exercises at the home and then fol-
lowed the remains to the Bethel
cemetery where they were laid to
rest at five o'clock.
Nature seems to regard not the
law of Moses which says "remove
not the landmark." One by one the
old landmarks of Ellis county are
being removed from the walks of
men and it is but fitting that some
words should be written in their
memory.
When Mr. Nicholas Sims laid
down the burdens of life and passed
into the great beyond Ellis county
lost one of her noblest and truest
citizens. The writer of this did not
know Mr. Sims personally but his
friends tell us that lie was one of
the most unselfish men they ever
knew. Self was never first with
him except when there was work to
do or a sacrifice to make. He was
a modest and unostentatious man
und never sought credit for the work
he did nor asked praise for the sac-
rifice after it was mad»·. There are
many people in this city and Ellis
county who can bear personal testi-
mony to the truthfulness of this
statement not from what they have
heard but from what they know in-
dividually. The measure of an-
other's needs and the limit of his
ahilitv were the only tilings h" con
sidered. He loved his fellowinan
and helped him all he could. He
loved his God and served him faith-
fully and well even though he did
it so quietly that it attracted little
attention among men. Many a
drooping spirit has he cheered and
many a faint heart has he strength-
ened along life's way. How well he
succeeded only those who have been
closest associated with him know.
ΗΚΚίΚΑΡΗ ICAl..
Ten years ago the following bio-
graphical sketch of Mr. Sims ap
peared In "A History of Ellis
County."
Λ K'IÏUltlH i . njnifi <Miv \j ι i..' WM
spicuotis figures In the early settle-
ment of Ellis county is h native of
Virginia born near Richmond in
1800. H·· is the third of a family of
eight and is a son of John Sims
who removed from Virginia to Ten-
nessee in 1807. The first member of
the family to emigrate to America
was probably Brewster Sims who
came from Germany and settled in
Virginia. William Sims grand-
father of Nicholas 1'. was a colonel
in the Revolutionary war but his
father's only military distinction
consisted in his hein*: a captain of a
militia company Nicholas P. had
very limited opportunities for se-
curing an education his being the
day of log school houses puncheon
benches and poor teacher·. How-
ever he improved every moment
and at the age of 21 years began
teacbing school which business
hud not then been elevated Ό the
dignities of a profession; he fol-
lowed his calling for three years
and then engaged in agricultura.1
pursuits on α very limited scab·.
In the fall of )>£M he removed to
Mississippi and located near <>xford
where he cultivated the soil for 1*
years. At the end of that period lie
removed to Texas and settled in El-
lis county. He purchased a tract
of land on Chambers' creek ami
lived there until his failing strength
forbade his continuing active labor.
All of his farming operations have
proved profitable and he has at dif-
ferent times owned large tracts oi
land in this county: he lias however
disposed of all but .'{00 acres.
H»· has been a Mason for tM
vt-ars having joined the order at
Mount Pleasant Term. He was
one of the seven who procured a
charter for the Masonic Lodge at
Oxford Miss. and was one of the
same number to procure a charter
for the came organization at H'axa-
hachie. He was not a soldier in th<
late war but in j'ommon with ail
southerners lost heavilv by the con
flict.
At the age of 22 years Mr. Siint
was married to Miss Artianda M
Zollicotfer. a cousin of General
Zollicotfer who was killed «t thf
battle of Mill Spring Ky. Then
were no children of tb s marriage
Mrs. Sir » died in 1. H<· was
afterward married to Mrs. Diinlap
mother of Judge Ounlap president
of the Citizens' National Rank oi
Waxahachie. Mrs. Sims' maidei:
name was Harlan. Mr. Minis hai
been a Sims had been a consistent
member of tin· Methodist church foi
7ά year·. He is a man of great In-
tegrity of character.and one to whom
Ellis county is indebted for many
years of labor In developing her
agricultural resources. His career
has been a prosperous one and is
entirely above reproach.
