Thompson on Saturday, Dec. 29th, brought grief and sorrow to this city and community as well as to all who were so fortunate to know him. He has lived here a number of years having moved from Claiborne Parish, La., where he was born Sept. 2, 1852. He joined the Methodist Church in early manhood living his life for others, never failing to grasp every opportunity to help those in need, and to comfort and encourage those in trouble and sorrow. His ideas for higher and nobler things were felt by all with whom he came in contact. His influence will help to carry on the great work but his place will ever be vacant. He was married to Miss Nanny Van Hook, July 3, 1883, who with the following children survive him: Mrs. J. T. Huston, El Dorado, Ark.; Mrs. A. L. Allen and Mrs. Mat Milam, Winnfield, La.; W. L. and H. B. Thompson, Shreveport; Graydon Thompson, Belcher, and Parker Thompson, Winnfield, and a host of other relatives and friends. Our hearts go out in love and sympathy to these loved ones. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Sunday, Dec. 30, 11:00 a.m. by his pastor, Rev. Thompson, assisted by Rev. Christy, Strong, Ark., and Rev. Carter, pastor of the Baptist Church at Junction City. The love and esteem that was held for him was made manifest by the lovely and numerous floral offerings. A Friend. --------------8DEB0A51752A5F032FB2E96F--
