Obit Scrapbook located at the Cedar County, Historical Society Museum. Name of paper and date unknown THOMPSON-Catherine Birely was born to John and Barbara Birely, at Valley Mills, Frederick county, Md., March 13th, 1805, and died December 30th, 1892. She was married at Valley Mills, Md., to Mr. Thomas Thompson, December 3rd, 1820. In 1822 she confessed her faith in Christ and was received into the fellowship of the Lutheran church by the rite of confirmation. In 1823, she with her husband and one child, removed to Germantown, Montgomery County, Ohio, where Mr. Thompson also identified himself with the church under the ministry of Rev. Andrew Hinkle. Here the family resided until the fall of 1843, at which time they moved to Cedar County, Iowa, and settled on the farm at Pedee, Iowa Township. In March, 1854, the husband's health having failed, they came to Tipton and lived in retirement until his death, which occurred Nov. 1st, 1863. Since then "grandma" lived in the old home with her youngest son P.W. Thompson, waiting and longing to depart and be with Christ and "loved ones gone before." She has been a constant and devoted member of the Ev. Lutheran church of Tipton since its organization by Rev. S. Ritz "in the fifties" Her heart was also devoted to the work of missions, and to the cause of temperance in which she was actively identified with the W.C.T.U., whose white ribbon badge adorns her body in the grave. Grandma Thompson fell asleep in Jesus Dec. 30th, 1892, at the goodly age of 87 years, 9 months and 17 days, at the home of Mrs. Gaige, her oldest granddaughter, with whom she was visiting when her last illness prostrated her. She was buried from the Lutheran church Dec. 31st with appropriate services based on text of her own selecting, 2 Timothy, 4:6-8, and rests in Tipton's beautiful cemetery. "So he giveth his beloved sleep." Tipton, Iowa Jan. 2, 1892
