He was in his seventy-fourth year, having been born near Edgar in 1846. He was a grandson of John Thompson, one of the pioneers of Oro, who settled in that Township in 1827. Mr. Thompson was well known in both Oro and Medonte. He was a councillor in the latter Township a few years ago, and was always deeply interested in public affairs. He was twice married, first in 1867 to Clara Harrington, who died in 1874. His children by this marriage were Mrs. H.G. Hamilton, of Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Anna Craig, of Dixon, Illinois; and Mrs. W.J. Thompson, of Youngstown, Ohio. In 1879, he was married a second time to Margaret C. Rix, of Crown Hill, who died twelve years ago, leaving two sons and two daughters- Mrs. Arthur Beard, Jarratt, with whom her father has resided since giving up his farm on the third concession of Medo! nte five years ago; George E. Thompson, of Crown Hill; Thomas R. Thompson, of Toronto, and Mrs. W.R. Walker, of East Palestine, Ohio. The funeral will take place from the residence of Mrs. Beard, Jarratt, on Saturday, at 1:30 p.m. I hope this helps.
