Olin Huffman Simpson, son of William B. and Sylvia Eunice Maxson Simpson, was born at Jackson Center, Ohio, May 25, 1879, and died en route from Alfred to Bethesda Hospital, North Hornell, N. Y., December 31, 1961.
In early life he was baptized and joined the Jackson Center Seventh Day Baptist Church. He retained his membership there, feeling that he and Mrs. Simpson wanted to be of help to the church of their earlier years.
On August 17, 1913, he was married to Miss Carrie Maud Young, daughter of Leslie E. and Ella Saunders Young, at Alfred. Mrs. Simpson died October 9, 1961. He is survived by one of his two daughters, Doris E. Simpson, at home, and one son, William L. Simpson of Kingsport, Tenn. Three grandchildren also survive.
Mr. Simpson had been principal of or teacher in seven school systems in Western New York. He retired in 1941 and, with his family, returned to Alfred to live. Memorial services were held at the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, January 4, 1962, with the Rev. Hurley S. Warren officiating. Interment was in Alfred Rural Cemetery.
