Biographical history
Phoebe Edith Simmons (Buxton) was born in the brick house at Fort Rodd Hill on January 5, 1911. She was the oldest child of fourteen in the well-known Buxton family and was a long-time resident of Esquimalt. Phoebe took pride in caring for her many siblings as they grew and was never happier than when she married her love, Barney Simmons and had two children of her own. Barney died in the Gorge Road Hospital in 1987 and Phoebe died at the age of 102 on February 15th, 2013 in Comox, B.C. (Source- Comox Valley Record)
