Funeral of George Simmons, Slain in Florida, Held Here Today
The body of George W. Simmons, 83, retired plasterer, who was the victim of a
"hammer murder" near Lake City, Florida, one week ago, arrived here Sunday
night and was taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. I. D. Bucey on Sunset
Boulevard.
Funeral services were held this afternoon, the Reverend J. S. Allen, pastor
of the La Belle View Christian Church, officiating. The church choir
furnished the nusic. Internment was made in Union Cemetery.
At Lake City Saturday, a corner's jury heard testimony of witnesses in the
murder case and formally charged E.L.Booth, 27 and his birde Helen Simmons
Booth, 18, of Steubenville, with the crime.
The jury found that Simmons whose body was found in the woods near Lake City
last Tuesday, came to his death "by a deadly weapon, a blunt instrument at
the hands of E.L. Booth and Mrs. Helen Booth and the same was murder in the
first degree"
The couple disappeared and despite a statewide search, authorities have been
unable to locate them.
Witnesses testified that they saw the Booth car traveling along the highway
at a high rate of speed with the young husband standing on the running board
beating the aged man over the head, while Mrs. Booth drove.
Simmons and the couple had spent two weeks in a one room cottage at a tourist
camp here and during that time witnesses related many quarrels took place.
They left the camp Monday night and Tuesday Simmons body was found by C. B.
Messer, operator of the camp where they stayed.
The bloodstained Booth car was found abandoned in Jacksonville, and since
then no trace of the missing couple has been found. Authorities believed the
old man was robbed of a large sum of money which he was reported to have
possessed.
