 Mrs. Emma o. Thompson.
 On Saturday afternoon at o'clock the interment of the ashes of Mrs Emma G. Thompson took place in the family lot at Yantie cemetery, the ser vices being conducted by Rev. Frank Palmer. Miss A. NJ Gleason and Wil- liam Gleason of Brooklyn, N. Y., sister and brother of the deceased, came here for the interment, and there were also present at the cemetery number of the members of the Mone- gan church. Mrs. Thompson's father, Rev. Anson Gleason, was the first pas tor of the church.
 The death of Mrs. Thompson occur red early in the year. but the burial, after cremation. was deferred to await the convenience of relatives. Mrs. Thompson's father Rev Anson Glea- son, who had been a missionary among the Choctaws. came to Mohegan and was minister at the little Congrega- tional church there from 1881 to 1885, occupying as a parsonage a house be- low the church still standing. After a time he went west again and engaged in missionary work among different tribes, returning east about 1865, and for a time acting as city missionary in Brooklyn. N. Y.
 Norwich residents whose encourage ment and support the Mohegan church l has always had recall the fact that in 1 his generation Rev. MT. Gleason was regarded as a zealous, scholarly man, whose mastery of the Indian dialects was exceptionally thorough.
 The Mohegan chapel was built in 1 1881 by subscriptions of Norwich resi- 1 dents. The general government made an appropriation of $500 toward the | erection of a house for the minister and for a time allowed $500 annually | for his salary. As the numbers of the Mohegan tribe decreased the govern ment authorities regarded the $500 as too large an appropriation and cut the salary allowance to &1o0, sum SC small that Rev. MT. Gleason felt com l pelled to give up the work.
 He is gratefully remembered bS | present descendants of the Mohegant and the death of his daughter is sin l cerely mourned by them.
