If anyone has any information on this Thompson will you please post to list and to E-mail address: paulette@elite.net.. Thanks, Mary http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~mwellis/ Hi Mary, I hope you know someone that can help me with this. I am interested in find some information on a Joseph Allen Thompson. I have an article that states he returned to Cedar Clift, Alamance county, North Carolina. I am interested in knowing if he died there and where he is buried. Thank you, Tom Samuel B. THOMPSON November 1, 1884 Mariposa Gazette, California Many of the friends and old-timers will regret to learn of the death of Samuel B. Thompson, formerly of Cathey's Valley and brother of Joseph Thompson. He died about a month ago at his home in Almance County, North Carolina. He left here some two years ago with a view to spending the remainder of his days at the old home, which he did and has passed off to the other shore, where many of his old associates have gone before. We felt at the time of parting with Sam, that we should never see him again, for he was not in the best of health. He was noted for his social qualities and his goodness of heart. He would go to the bottom of his pocket for the last dollar whenever charity was asked of him for a laudable purpose. In Sam. B Thompson the world has parted with a man whose heart knew no wrong, and the earth has recalled to its kindred dust one whose life was well spent, and by his many virtues will ever be cherished in the memory of those left behind. -- Thomas and Paulette Hilk 1725 Wildwood Ct.
