was in the same business there for
some years. That is abou the extent
of the history that was obtained. In

Mr.. Thompson was an honorable,
upright man. and a good citizen while
here, but always avoided giving any
information as to his relatives, in fact,
he said repeatedly that he had no one

Deceased held membership in both
the Odd Fellows and Masonic orders,
and but for their ministration his last
days would have been lonely indeed,
the members of both orders following
him to the grave. He is supposed to
have been 65 years Of age, or more,
but nothing definite could be learned as
to that.

who are members for insurance only
are. as Il rule, of very little use in the
