| Wm. H. Thompson,
a well known resident of this city died at his
home on Church street, Sunday afternoon after a
lingering illness due to the infirmities of old
age, having reached the age of eighty-seven
years. Mrs.
Thompson preceded her husband to the grave eleven
years ago and one son Sleethe died four years
ago. Sixteen grandchildren and sixteen great
grandchildren also survive.
 The Thompson family had
made their home at 620 East Church street ever
since 1889 and it was there that Mr. Thompson
passed away.
Funeral services
were held Wednesday afternoon at 1:45 from the
residence of his daughter Mrs. Chas. Wattson on
Main street to the Methodist church at two
o’clock. Rev. Wm. People conducted the
funeral service and Mrs. Carrie Long sang
“Will the Circle be Unbroken” and Mrs.
C. H Dorris, Mrs. G.C. Bartells, Mrs. A.C. Powell
and Mrs. Carrie Long sang “Sweet Bye and
Bye” and “ Beautiful Isle of
Somewhere.” Mrs. Clara Heuer presided at the
organ.
The pallbearers
were Wm. Lepp, Sr., Jos. Long, Jas. Hohn, John
Banks, Jas. Bailey, and Henry Schoettle.
Internment was made in the Glenwood cemetery.
The funeral was
largely attended by sympathizing relatives and
friends of the family and many beautiful floral
offerings were sent as tokens of condolence and
sympathy.
