SIMMONS - ALBERT B. SIMMONS.  Mr. William R. Simmons, of this village, (Rome, New York) has recently heard of the death of his son Albert B. Simmons, who was shot by the Indians in Nevada about the 1st of April 1865.  Young Simmons was located upon the Honey Lake road leading to the Hombolt silver mines, and which is of course a great thoroughfare, Granite Station, his place of residence, being some five hundred miles from San Francisco.  The business of the station is the supply of forage to the travel passing over the road.  The Indians, it is well known, have been very troublesome on this as well as the overland route, and the general belief is that they have been furnished with arms by rebel emissaries, who have left no opportunity unimproved to do the work of murder against our loyal population, from the President down to the humblest citizen.
     Simmons was making a brief business tour in company with his partner and several other gentlemen, when they were fired upon, as is supposed, from an ambush, and every person instantly shot down.  The particulars are promised the family by the gentleman who communicated the afflicting intelligence.  The unexpected tidings brings sharp sorrow into a respected family, in whose distress our citizens will deeply sympathize.
     Young Simmons was brave and adventurous in spirit, and though surrounded by dangers lived apparently without apprehension, and was laying his plans to make a visit home next Fall.  (RCJun02/1865)

MARTIN - On Tuesday last, (June 20, 1865) Mrs. POLLY MARTIN, a resident of the town of Floyd, New York, was probably brutally murdered by some person or persons unknown, and the house then set fire, with the intention to destroy the body, and thus convey the impression that the deceased came to her death by accident.  Mrs. Martin lived alone, and was supposed to have in her possession a considerable sum of money.  Suspicion rests upon a man who called at the house a day or two previous to the murder, who inquired if the premises were for sale, and acted in such a singular manner as to alarm the deceased so much that for two nights she remained away from home.  No trace of the supposed assassin has yet been discovered.
     Coroner Cobb held an inquest, and the Jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death from some cause to them unknown.  (RCJun23/1865)
