Is Claimed
By Death

Death closed the mortal life of
J. Hugh Thompson at his home on
Clay street Tuesday morning at 8 20
O'Clock after long Illness of COM
plication of diseases and many are
the friends and acquaintance in the
community who are made sad over
his demise.
Mr.. Thompson had been i'll for a
wear and half. The first Of last
October his health became so poor
that he was forced to his bed which
he did not leave until the final
summons came Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Thompson was the son OF
Thomas Thompson, deceased, one OF
the prominent and prosperous
stocE1nen and farmers of Harrison
county, and was 4s years old. The
father was member of the pioneer
family of Thompsons who early set
tied in Harrison county. This fam
ily came from County Down, Ire
land, to this county. During their
early residence here the family spent
each winter in the old fort at Clarks-
burg, as protection against the
Indians, and many were the priva-
tions and harpships they suffered
while improving and clearing their
land.
Hugh Thompson, father of
Thomas. became a noted Nimrod
and killed many deer, bears and
wild game and at the time made
many friends among the Indians.
Thomas Thompson's maternal
grandfather, James ellis, was also
one of the pioneers of Harrison
county, also native of ireland. and
was the first man to mine and sell
coal in this county.
The history of the Thompson
family during the early pioneer days
of this county is very interesting
Thomas Thompson, father of j.
Hugh, obtained his education under
difficulties, as they. had experienced
in settling upon their land, for he
was compelled to walk three or four
milos through the snow during the
winters to rude log cabin school
house, which was furnished in the
primitive style and conducted by the
old time pedagogue who labored un-
der the delusion that f1ickin and
larnin' . went together and were es-
sential in the proper education OF
the youth of those days.
In 1855 Thomas Thompson mar
ried Elizabeth, daughter of james
and Jane Floyd, of Marion county,
and to them seven children were
given: Laura, wife of Charles o.
Jackson, of Fairmont; J. Hugh, !
whose death is here noted; William |
X, of Bridgeport; John p, civil |
engineer with headquarters located |
at Fairmont, who was graduated
from the West Virginia State UNI
versity; Lydia Jane Reynolds, wife
of +. d. Reynolds, of this city; Ed
ward Thompson, manager of the
Bell Telephone company in this
city, and Arthur, all of whom with
the mother-are now living.
J. Hugh Thompson was cabinet |
maker and was considered an expert
at that trade He had always made
his home in this city and for sew
eral years he was associated with |
Nathan G. Stealey, in the undertake
ing firm of Stealey & Thompson.
He was member of the local lodge
of Odd Fellows for number OF
years and this lodge will have charge
of the funeral services.
The funeral services will take
place at the late home on Clay
street Thursday morning at 1880
O'Clock. The Rev. S. X. Arbuth-
not, pastor of Golf NJ. E. church.
will lead the services. Burial will
be in the I. o. o. F. cemetery.

CORONATION OF THE
KING OF NORWAY

MINDS OF THE PEOPLE OF
NORWAY AT PRESENT TIME.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Christiania, June 16.-With the ap-
proach of the coming week the cor
onation of King Haakon and Queen
Maud is the one topic uppermost in
the minds of the people of Norway
The coronation will take place not in
this city, which is the capital, but at
Trondhjem, to the north, and only
three degrees south of the Arctic cir
Gle. The Norwegian constitution
makes it obligatory that the king
should be crowned there.
1t is expected that more royal per-
sonages will be in Norway for the
coronation than has ever before been
here at one time. Doubtless all the
countries of Europe will be repre-
scented by members of the reigning
houses. Almost the entire royal fam
lilies of England and Denmark will
be present as well as several men,
bers of the imperial house of Ger
many. There will be some attractive
and interesting women among the
royal guests, and, incidentally, there
should be, too, a marvellous display of
jewels and toilettes.

The Norwegian storthing has APP
propriated $4,000 for the ceremonies
and the town of Trondhjem has also
contributed literally. But the ex-
pense will be extremely moderate, as
coronations go. The cost will be
mere trifie as compared with Eng
lands bill Of $1,000 900 for the coro-
nation of King Edward VII, and the
S25,OOO,OO0 that was spent by Russia
to bring the present car to the throne
in blaze of glory.
King Haakon and Queen Maud plan
