WAS A PIONEER NEWSPAPER MAN Death in Chicago of Simeon L. DEYO
Founded Naples Record
Mr. DEYO Was a Successful Newspaper Editor and Was Prominent in Many Local Enterprises -- Well Known as a Singer in Early Life

Naples, Jan. 29 - A telegram from Chicago announces the death Saturday morning at the home of his son-in-law, B. T. VanHOUSEN, of Simeon L. DEYO, a lifelong resident of Naples until fifteen years ago, when he removed to Chicago to spend his last days with his children. His age was 75.

Mr. DEYO had much to do with the life and progress of Naples and surrounding country. He was a successful teacher in his youth and a man of parts, particularly a ready writer. In the sixties he was deputy county clerk for three years. But his best work was as publisher and editor of our village paper for nearly thirty years. In 1870 he founded the Naples Record, then the only paper in Southern Ontario and Northern Steuben. It was a small sheet at first, but made a remarkable growth, attaining a circulation of 15,000 at one time, as large as any paper in the county.

He claimed to be the first to introduce local correspondence and had a live correspondent in every hamlet or four corners for miles around. Though laughed at in the beginning, sneers soon turned to wonder and the idea became so popular as to be copied in all parts of the country. He sold the Record about 1885 and subsequently published the Neapolitan for several years. He was very prominent in the organization of the Naples Agricultural Society and took great interest in every scheme for improvement in the town, both moral and material.

He was the oldest of six sons of the late Ira DEYO, of Naples, all of then possessing remarkable musical talent and for some years, directly after
the war, gave concerts with great success through Western New York as "DEYO Brothers." He married Miss Abbie PIERCE, a famous soprano singer in her time, who died in 1890. Two only of the brothers are now living, George C. DEYO, of Naples, and Ira N. DEYO, of Richmond, a state excise officer. Mr. DEYO leaves two daughters, Mrs. Howard MEDBURY and Mrs. Will L. CLARKE, both of Chicago. His oldest daughter, Mrs. B. T. VanHOUSEN, died about five years ago. His body will be brought here for burial at Rose Ridge under the auspices of John
Hodge Lodge, F. & A. M., of Naples, of which he was an original member.
