Hello, My Frank David Thompson was b. 16 May 1857 in Butler Co., Ohio, and d. 18 Sept. 1917. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think he had a nickname like 'Buzzy', or I think I probably would have heard about it. He married Mary Jane "Molly" Harris 16 March 1876 in Darlington, Montgomery Co., Indiana. She was born 1857 & d. 1928. Other than this information, all I have is the following: "Well Known Painter Dies: Frank David Thompson, 60, well known painter and paper-hanger of the city, died yesterday morning at 11:40 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Kyle Stradling, on Luick Avenue. Mr. Thompson was born in Ohio. He was a member of the Crawfordsville Lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. He is survived by two sons, Guy W. Thompson and Harry Thompson; and five daughters, Mrs. Kyle Stradling, Mrs. Edward Knecht, Mrs. Grace Bechtel, Mrs. Charles Knecht, all of Muncie, and Mrs. Grant Hickerson, of Indianapolis. The funeral services will be held at the Stradling home Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in Beech Grove Cemetery." Please know that I have a note written by Pauline Knecht Mitchell, my Father's sister & my Aunt, that says: "Grandfather Thompson had a grocery on the corner just a couple houses away so I spent time there. He would let me fix a treat of candy for those people who paid their bills. He soon found out I was giving his profit away because I filled the sacks with candy, usually the kind I liked. So he stopped this. He spent most of his time entertaining ladies in his back room where he lived. Grandfather or Frank D. Thompson left Molly, my Grandmother, with 7 children to raise. He married Wilda immediately. They had a restaurant in Linden, IN. I was there a couple of times." So....although I doubt that this is who you are looking for, I thought I would sent this info anyway. My Thompson connections are primarily in Indiana, although Frank and all of his siblings were born in Ohio.
