Simon Fernald
SIMON FERNALD was born 16 July, 1841 in Kittery, ME, the son of Capt. Simon and Joanna F
(Williams). He died on 30 Sept, 1905 in Kittery and is buried in Orchard Grove Cemetery, Kittery,
in same plot as parents [ancestry of his father is given in Old Kittery, pg 399+prior, as Capt
Simon7, Simon6, Benjamin5, Joseph4, Benjamin3, William2, Renald1].
He married on 17 Dec, 1874 in Kittery to MARY F DUNCAN, also of Kittery [VR of Kittery pg 445 - he was called Simon F, only place where a middle initial seen]. She was born 11 May, 1850 and died 7 Aug, 1918 [grave stone], still need to look up her death rec for parentage.
Simon was a carpenter/joiner and lived in Kittery his entire life, save for his service in the 27th ME. His brother Warren served with him a brief time, a corporal in Co.G [see his page]. Simon was one of those who volunteered to remain behind in Washington, DC and received the Medal of Honor (no fighting took place).
Simon and Mary (Duncan) only had two children, who are buried with them and their spouses in the Capt Simon Fernald plot. They were:
