Daily Tribune, March, 1988 Simon Rites Scheduled Today Mrs. A. H. Simon of Bay City known for decades of volunteer service in Matagorda County, died early Monday at Matagorda General Hospital at age 85. The funeral is scheduled for 3 p. m. today at Taylor Brothers Funeral Home chapel, with interment to follow at 5 p. m. at B'nai Israel Cemetery in Victoria. Born in Poland in 1903 and educated to be a pharmacist, Mrs. Simon came to Bay City as a bride in 1928, following a two-year transatlantic courtship by Aaron Simon, Bay City merchant and farmer. Once their children, Beatrice and Haskell, reached school age, Mrs. Simon began a life of community service which ended only with her death. During World War II, she was a volunteer Red Cross stationwagon driver providing transportation between Bay City and Camp Hulen at Palacios. This activity required not only that she learn first aid techniques, but also how to drive under wartime "blackout" conditions. For her early contributions to the Bay City public schools, she was only the second Matagorda County person named Texas Life Member by the Parent-Teacher Association. The polio threat of the 1950s spurred Mrs. Simon to take an active part in the Mother's March on Polio. In 1957 and 1958, she served as countywide chairman, directing the successful efforts of hundreds of volunteers. A charter member of the Matagorda General Hospital Auxiliary (Pink Ladies), Mrs. Simon had contributed a record-setting 10,000 hours of service by 1987, for which she received an award last year. She remained active as a Pink Lady until her death. She also worked as a hostess in the family business, the Conspiracy Restaurant, until it closed in 1985. Mrs. Simon was a member of Temple B'nai Israel in Victoria. She was preceded in death by her husband, Aaron, in 1962. She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Simon Franzel, of St. Louis, Mo.; a son, Haskell Simon of Bay City; three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

From Monday's Daily: Quite a number of Bay City people went over to Houston yesterday to attend the funeral of Mr. Haskell Simon who died at his home in this city Saturday morning. This good man, who died in the prime of his life and at the very peak of his usefulness, was held in the highest of esteem by everybody in Bay City, regardless of race, color or creed. He was clean, scrupulously honest, well educated, unusually public-spirited and keeping alive to every advancement of the city. He was high-minded, well versed on the topics of the day, and regarded by all as one of foremost of the town's most progressive men. The out-pouring of people, the tokens of friendship and esteem they bestowed upon his memory and the kindness, consideration and assistance given the family by all, manifested, in no small way, he love, respect, and admiration that has been his during his twenty years of association with the people and pleasant contact with the affairs of the city. In the midst of sorrowing friends and grief-stricken relatives all that remained mortal of him was laid to eternal rest in the Jewish cemetery in Houston yesterday.
