a
cannery
noted
all
along
the
coast
as
one
of
the
most
sanitary
and
efficient
plants.
Mr.
Simpson
was
originally
associated
with
Captain
Bablngton
In
the
erection
of
the
first
canneries
on
the
Island
and
later
was
con
nected
with
R:

in
the
same
line.
He
Is
survived
by
his
widow,
who
Is
at

visiting
Mr.
