Mr. Thom was in his usual good health on Tuesday and had accompanied Mrs. Thom in the car to the post office for the evening mail. His attack came on in the middle of the night and he passed away despite medical attention. For many years Alex Thom has been prominent in business and politics of North Bend and had been elected mayor for four terms. He came to North Bend in 1882 when he associated himself with Smith & Mallon a firm engaged in handling imported horses. Four years later he purchased a farm and turned his attention vigorously to general farming and stock raising until 1892, when he retired and again became a citizen of North Bend. He was a staunch churchman having been a lifelong member of the United Presbyterian church and was one of the county's leading prohibitionist and elected mayor on a dry ticket. He was one of the organizers and the president of the First State Bank of North Bend but had retired and severed his connections with it several years ago. Alexander Thom was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Sept 25, 1847 and would have been 81 years old this month. He was afforded the advantages of the schools of his native land and was associated with farm enterprises. In 1877 he came to this country and settled in Wisconsin, where for five years he was the foreman on an estate. The deceased has been married three times. His first wire was Margaret Agen[sic] Egan of Illinois who died in 1892. For his second wife he married Anna Collins who died a few years later. On April 15, 1913 he married Laura Miller of North Bend, who survives him with one daughter, Mrs. Andrew Harvey of Fremont. Mr. Thom was the last member of his family. Mr. Thom was held in high esteem by everyone who knew him and he had a large acquaintance over Dodge County. He was recognized as a radical prohibitionist and was zealous in the furtherance of the national observance. Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed but it will probably be held from the family home Saturday afternoon at 2:30 with burial in Woodlawn cemetery.
