FUNERAL OF MISS THOMPSON

The mortal remains of this good wO-
man were yesterday afternoon laid to
rest in lakewood cemetery. The impress
sive funeral services were held in Christ
church, conducted by the rector, Rev.
DR.. Marshall, who for nearly twenty
four years had been her pastor.
The sweetly comforting hymns
Asleep in Jesus and Peace, Perfect
Peace" were touchingly sung by the
choir.
Mr. G.. B. Root, Dr. Crawford, J. l.
Johnson, Chas. McKimon, DIR. Il. J.
Haywood and Henry Il. Litchford acted
as pall-bearers.
The large attendance of syanpathizine
friends indicated in no small degree the
strong hold that the deceased had upon
the respect and esteem of all classes and
the sincere love of those who knew her
best.
Miss Cornelia was "a lifelong cOmmuni-
cant of Christ church, and her beautiful
Christian character was for many long
years Il blessing to all about her. Her
whole life was one of self-sacrifice. She
lived for others. Many "a home in this
city will cherish the sweet and helpful
memory of her tender ministratiOns in
time Of sickness and trouble. Wise and
thoughtful, of ready and sincere synlpa-
thy she made friends everywhere. Thus
has passed away to the blessed Para,
disc of God the last member of fami-
ly well known and held i'll the highest
respect and esteem by all the older citi-
zens of the community.
Father, mother, four brothers and a
sister years ago were called hence. Her
surviving nephews and nieces found in
her mothers love and self-sacrificine
devotion.
Her last days were spent as her whole
life had benin self-forgetful service to
her loved ones.
She is at rest and in peace, but CRATE
full memories of her good deeds and ten-
der ministrations will linger in the
hearts Of many, for Miss Cornelia
Thompson was good woman and her
works do follow her.
