Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. W. T. SIMMONS is a son of the late Judge W. T. Simmons and Eugenia Crittenden (Price) Simmons, and was born at the old Simmons homestead at the junction of Paris and Falmouth Streets, on the 28th day of April 1864. He was the third son in a family of four boys and four girls. He attended the best schools to be had in Williamstown, and when he reached manhood's estate entered his father's law office and began the study of law. On December 5, 1885, together with J. H. Westover, he was admitted to the Grant County bar. Twice he was elected town attorney and was a vigorous and strong prosecutor. After practicing law for five or six years he abandoned the practice and entered the drug and saloon business at the old N. V. Theobald stand, opposite the clerk's office. He conducts one of the best drug stores and one of the most popular liquor emporiums in the county. On January 28, 1891, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Ransom, a daughter of the late William Ransom, and is an accomplished and popular lady. One child has come to bless their home, Gladys, a beautiful and sweet girl. Mr. Simmons is accommodating and obliging to his friends and customers, and has a business from which he reaps a golden harvest.
