A PIONEER METHODIST.
Late Mr.. VIM. Thompson a
Leader in Church Work.

Rowland Sun.
Mr.. William B. Thompson, one
of the oldest and most highly
esteemed citizens of this COM
munity, died at his home here
Thursday night, after an illness
Of several weeks. He was in
the 74th year of his age. and
had been married three times,
his third wife surviving him.
For years Mr.. Thompson has
been a leader in church and
Sunday school work. He was the
founder of the Methodist church
at this place. The first meeting
to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
organizing a church was held
in his parlor with nineteen per-
sons present. He then went
before the district conference
and made a speech asking that
the church be organized and his
request was granted. He was
made one, of the stewards,
which office he held to the time
of his death. He was also sup
erintendent of the Sunday
school until declining health
compelled him to resign. He
had lived a long life of useful
ness, had kept the faith and
realized in his last hours that
there was laid up for him, "iust
across the river" a crown OF
righteousness. He died fully
trusting in the promises of his
Creator. Besides being a "sol
der of the cross" he served
his country through the civi
war as gallant soldier of the
COnfederacy.
/ Besides his wife, Mr.. Thomp
son leaves three daughters
Mrs. W. F. Swaringen. of Eden
ton; Mrs. H. K. McCormic ant
Mrs. Willie Emanuel, of Row
land; one son, Mr.. J. N. Thomp
, son, of Rowland; two brothers
Rev. J. E. Thompson, of Aber
deem, and Rev. Wesley Thomp
son, of Mcdonald, and a larg
number Of grandchildren an
other relatives.
The funeral services wer
conducted at the Methods
church Friday afternoon by tn
! pastor, Rex. B. F. Mccall, an
