"George Lorimer Killed By Auto at Estherville
George Lorimer, 71, pioneer resident of Emmet county, was killed at Estherville Monday evening when he was struck by an automobile driven by Leo Sanders, district manager for the Hutchinson Ice Cream company. Mr. Lorimer, an employee of the Estherville Grocery company, was on his way home when he was struck. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mildred. The Lorimer family have many friends in Emmetsburg who will regret this tragic death."3Newspaper Obituary, Graettinger Times, Graettinger, Iowa, 20 Nov 1930.
Mr. Lorimer came from Scotland to Emmetsburg in 1882, which was 48 years ago. Later he settled in Jack Creek township. He was thrifty and became prosperous. He was an excellent farmer and a high class gentleman. He often came to this city to celebrate with his native countrymen of Scotland the Robert Burns anniversary. He was 71 year of age. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mildred. After moving to Estherville, Mr. Lorimer became an employee of the Estherville Grocery company. It is sad to think that at the close of his long and highly creditable career, he lost his life under the unfortunate circumstances mentioned. His many friends in this county offer sincere sympathy to Mrs. Lorimer and Miss Lorimer in their bereavement."

(From Emmetsburg Democrat)
Our many citizens who knew George Lorimer of Jack Creek township during pioneer days, when he was a frequent visitor to Emmetsburg, will regret very much to learn that he was killed Monday while crossing one of the business streets of Estherville. He was struck by an auto driven by Leo Sanders, district manager of the Hutchinson Ice Cream company, who frequently visits Emmetsburg. Mr. Sanders says he did not see Mr. Lorimer when he struck him. Several who were on the streets rushed to pick up the injured man but he died before a physician could arrive.4Gravestone, Oak Hill Cemetery, Estherville.

After an illness of several months Mrs. George Lorimer passed away at her home on north Eighth street late Wednesday morning. She was 71 years old at the time of her death. Elizabeth Borthwick was born near Thornhill, Dunfriesshire, Scotland, on May 29, 1869. Her parents were gentlemen farmers of the middle class in Scotland and she was given all the opportunities afforded the children in this class. She received her early education in private girls' schools in Scotland. Together with her parents, Mrs. Lorimer migrated to America in 1881. The family located in the Scottish community near Emmetsburg. A few years after coming to this country she was united in marriage with George Lorimer. Three children were born to the couple, George, Jr., and Margaret having preceded their mother in death. Mr. Lorimer died several years ago from injuries he received when struck by a car. One daughter, Miss Mildred Lorimer, survives her mother. Mrs. Lorimer joined the local Presbyterian church in 1914, shortly after the family moved here to make their home. She was one of the organizers of the Presbyterian church in the Scottish settlement near Emmetsburg. Although poor health for the past several years has forced Mrs. Lorimer into a life of retirement she always took an active part in the church and community affairs while her health permitted. Her many friends in this community have missed her from their circles and regret to learn of her passing away. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at the Lorimer home at 2:30 o'clock with the Rev. Claude Fausnaugh in charge. Burial will be in the Oak Hill cemetery."

1Newspaper Obituary, Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, Iowa, 7 Dec 1921.
This city was greatly shocked to learn of the death of Miss Margaret Lorimer at a local hospital on Thursday [December 1, 1921] of last week. Miss Lorimer had submitted to an operation on Wednesday and passed away the following day. It was not known by her many friends at this time and that added greatly to the blow. She was one of the best known and most popular young ladies of Estherville, admired and respected by all and her sudden taking away in the bloom of young womanhood is one of the mysteries of this life. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mr. George Lorimer of this city. Born in Emmetsburg she moved with her parents when a babe to the farm in Jack Creek township where the family resided for many years, respected and honored by all who knew them. They moved to Estherville several years ago Miss Margaret attended the rural schools near her farm home and after moving to Estherville, completed her school course in this city. She at different times had held responsible positions around the city. She possessed all the charms of young womanhood. Happy and cheerful upon all occasions and with a personality that made her a favorite with any crowd, she will be sorely missed from this circle of friends and the entire community. Funeral services were held from the home last Saturday morning at half past ten. Rev. Voorhies assisted by Rev. Alvin Scollay Hock had charge of the services. The Presbyterian choir sang several beautiful selections, Fred Albertson sang a solo. The pall bearers were H. N. Jensen, of Ringsted, Don Kirby, Ray Bryan, George Booth, John Greig and Don Pullen of this city. She was laid to rest in the Oak Hill cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in this hour of grief and sorrow."
"Death of A Popular Resident
Miss Margaret Lorimer Called Suddenly Thursday
Was Admired By All
Funeral Services Held Saturday Morning From the Home of Parents2Newspaper Obituary, Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, Iowa, 7 Dec 1921.
The many friends of Miss Margaret Lorimer were severely shocked last Thursday when the news spread rapidly of her sudden death. Miss Lorimer has been in rather poor health for some time past. A short time ago she decided to have an operation, and on Tuesday last she entered the Birney hospital. The operation over, she seemed to be recovering nicely when about 11 o'clock on the day of her death she became suddenly worse and passed away shortly after 12 o'clock. While her constitution was not strong it was not thought she was in such a serious condition. Miss Lorimer was in the street the day before greeting her friends as usual. The day of the operation she arose and went to the hospital apparently not thinking of the seriousness of the case. Miss Lorimer has resided in this county with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lorimer since childhood. For years they resided on their farm in Jack Creek township. They moved to this city about seven years ago where they have since resided. She has been employed in the Gardston Hat Shop of late. She was a genial young lady with pleasing manners and a host of friends. She was the kind of a young lady with an ever pleasant smile, and a kind word for all. The funeral services were held from the home on Saturday morning, the Rev. Voorhies assisted by the rev. Hock officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery."

Lieut.-Colonel Cecil J. W. Simpson, eldest son of the late Mr A. M. Simpson, solicitor, Moffat, now reported killed in action, was born in Moffat in 1904. He was educated at Merchiston Castle School, and, choosing the Army as a career, went on to Sandhurst. From there he proceeded to India, and passed into Quetta Staff College.

After the outbreak of the present war he returned to this country for special duty at the War Office, where he remained for two years. In 1941 he was sent by air on an important secret mission to the Far East, and was fortunate enough to leave Hong Kong on the day before it was entered by the Japanese. He went back to India last year and took up the post of Chief Administrative Officer of a division in India, but, in response to his desire for a more active participation in the war, he was given command of a battalion of his old regiment on the Burma front, where he has now met his death. He leaves a wife and one child.
