Thomas, 84, veterinary slregon (surgeon?) of Marion Center, died at 3:00 p.m. Wednesday on the farm on which he was born October 26, 1852. Death was attributed to complications following a sunstroke sustained last summer. Becoming of age Mr. Thomas purchased a part of the old Thomas farm of several hundred acres owned by his father, Hiram Thomas of Rayne township, near Marion Center. Besides being a stock raiser for many years he was the community's doctor of stock and his advice was considered highly among his friends and neighbors. He kept actively in his profession, driving his own car to attend to cases. Just a year ago he purchased a saddle horse, as the roads would not permit use of his automobile. His jolly nature and activity through life made him many friends. He raised a large family and gave them all a splendid start when they were ready to enter their own adult lives. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Mary Thomas; a daughter, Mrs. Florence BURNHEIMER of Indiana; six sons: Charles S. Thomas of Home, Jesse E. Thomas of Tanoma, Harry H. Thomas of Glen Campbell, William M. Thomas of Marion Center, Ben W. Thomas of Marion Center, and Wess C.
