Mrs. Martha Jane Thompson

Martha Jane Thompson, daught er
of William and Mary Anguish, was
born Jan. 6, 1897, and departed this
life Feb 4, 1880, at the age of 90
years and Is days. She was united
in marriage with Benoni Thompson,
Aug 10, 1858, to which union were
! born four children: Frank, Cassius,
Elmer and Ola; of these three sur
vive. She was born near Malta in
Morgan county, and spent all her
life there except the past four years
when she has lived with her dauSh
ter, Mrs. Ola Mccall. in Columbus,
Ohio. Mrs. Thompson was one of a
very large family, of whom only two
are surviving: Leroy Anguish Of
Shawnee, O., and Baxter Anguish OF
BeckneIl, Indiana.
She obayed the gospel of Christ
when very young, and although she
had had many sorrows, she never
lost her love for Christ. She was
always devoted to her church, her
home and family, and was willing to
make any sacrifice for either
! Though Mrs. Thompson lived quiet
ly and plainly, she has left to her
children an inheritance of good
name, of a clean life, of loving de
voti0n, of Christian example; a life
of righteousness, that gives to mem
ory a more precious inheritance
than silver and gold. Her death
came as a great shock to her friends.
Not even those at her bedside real
ized her dangerous condition until a
few hours before her death. She
was taken i'll late Sunday night and
suffered greatly until few hours
before her death on Tuesday morn
ing. Her death was caused by the
infirmities of old age.
She leaves to mourn her. one
daughter. Mrs. Ola Mccall, 80 West
North Broadway, Columbus. O., and
two sons Frank, of Memphis, Tenn.
and Elmer, Of Latty, O. She is al
so survived by ] i grandchildren and

pitality tender sympathy, and low
ing words that time cannot erase
The above sketch was furnished
by one of the family. A brief fu-
neral service for Mrs. Thompson
was held at the Mccall residence
Thursday, after which the body was
brought to Wolf Greek for further
services and burial
