CONTESTS OFTEN HELD IN PAST.
In years past the Chesapeake Bay
watermen never let an opportunity
pass to show the merits of their boats,
and there were frequent races. Every
summer contests for the bugeyes were
held and each port along the Eastern
Shore had it's champions. Boats were
groomed for months and in the cham
pionship contests there was the most
intense rivalry. with races for skip
Jacks, work canoes and the schooners.
The log canoes. at first used for work
purposes, came to be nationally known
as typical Chesapeake Bay craft. 80
keen was the rivalry among the
canoe owners that many were built

PASSING OF NOTED
PIONEER MINISTER

The recent death of Rev. John w.
Thompson in Lakewood, will revive
many happy memories to those living
who were active in church affairs in
Medina county and vicinity half
century or more ago. The following
sketch of this righteous man and
minister will be of interest to them:
The Rev. John w. Thompson was
born at the Wyandot Mission, near
Upper Sandusky, Ohio, November 2,
1929.
His parents came from England to
this country with the hope of find
ing mission work among the Indians.
They heard of Wyandot Mission and
went there. His father, the late Rev.
Thomas Thompson, taught in the
mission school and from there en-
tered the North Ohio Conference.
They appointed him to the mission,
where he remained seven years. Dur
ing this time John was born. On
leaving the mission, his father NOV
ed to his farm near Republic, where
he lived until John was fourteen.
Then the father was appointed pre-
siding elder of Norwalk District,
| which at that time included Cleve-
land.
The family moved to Norwalk and
he attended Norwalk Seminary for
two years. His parents then moved
to Berea and he spent six years in
Baldwin Institute. On February IA,
1848, he was happily converted in
the old chapel of the institute.
In 1858, at MT. Vernon, with a class
of twenty-five, he was admitted to
the North Ohio Conference, and ap-
pointed to the Bryan circuit, and one
year later to the Chesterville cir
cult. In 1854 he was ordained a
deacon by Bishop Baker. He WAS
married to Miss Mary Hawxhurst, OF
LaPort, near Elyria, September 27,
1855.
After he was ordained he received
the following appointments: Water
vile, Clyde circuit. Port Clinton, Re
public, vermillion, Richfield, Pitts
field, Amherst, Brunswick, and
Granger, making nineteen years Of
active service. Then, on account OF
sickness, he was forced to take a
supernumerary relation, moving I'd
Youngstown, where he went into busi-
ness. AS his health returned he was
often called upon to preach. He sup
piled the Colburg circuit in the yea,
1875. a76 t@
In the fall of 1876 he was made eff
fective and sent to Columbia, then
North Liberty circuit, Mt. Hope, Jer-
omeville, Nova, serving each three
years, then Greenspring five years
and Milan two years.
1 In the fall Of 1893 he superannuat-
ed and went to live at Columbia. Fol-
the last seventeen years he has lived
at Lakewood. He served the charges
to which he was sent faithfully ano
well. He stayed in rnostfnstances as
long as he could on account of the
time limit. He saw many converted
and join the church.
He had five children, three sons
and two daughters, all but on'
daughter having preceded him to th'
Ispirit world.

i He was faithful, patient, heroic, ant
sacrificial. He with the pioneel
