SHELB1FILLE, Ind, May 1S.-One
of the passing events of historical in

Thompson, observed Tuesday at her
home in Waldron, where she has re-

years. A century has not deprived
Mrs. Thompson of the activity which
has marked her long and useful life,
and the reception which has been ar
ranged will he enjoyed by her as much
as by any Of the hundreds who have
planned to visit her
Despite her advanced years, Mrs.
Thompson is wonderfully we'll preserv-
cd, and possesses a memory that is
remarkable. She is also able TO SUI
perintend her household and take an
interest in passing events.
Coming of a family that was long
lived, it is not so uncommon to her
that today she reached the age of 100
years.
Born in Kentucky.
She is the daughter of the late
James and Drucilla Burns, and was

Thompson has lived in the pretty
home which she now occupies in Wal

Speaking of the living conditions a
the time Of her marriage Mrs
Thompson says that people lived very
simply and only few had carpets or
the floors of their homes. One of the
first things she can remember doin&
after her marriage is the making of {

which placed her in an enviable posi-
