The Marion Sentinel Thursday January 18, 1906 Mrs. Lucetta Wilson Thompson was born in Bradford county, Pa., Sept. 11, 1829 and died of apoplexy in Kansas City, Mo., Jan 8, 1906. She would have been 77 years old next September. Mrs. Thompson came west with her parents into Illinois when about nine years old, but only remained there for about two years, when she was brought to Iowa in 1839, and into Linn county, where she has lived ever since, right here in Marion, in fact. She had gone to Kansas City to spend the winter, with her children. She had been a resident here for nearly 66 years. One the 11th day of February, 1849, she was married to Samuel D. Thompson, who survives her, too much enfeebled by old age to be present at her funeral services. She is also survived by all her children, nine in all: Mrs. Mary Johns, Burlington, Iowa; Mrs. Xamia Crane, Kansas City, Mo., James and Allen H., both of Marion; Mrs. Gertrude Graham, Cedar Rapids; Mrs. Mattie Shoemaker, Washington, Iowa; Mrs. Nellie Schermerhorn, and Carl S., of Kansas City, Mo., and Patrick A., of Marion. All the children were at the funeral except Mrs. Crane, who was detained by a painful accident. Mrs. Thompson is also survived by three brothers and one sister as follows: Ira G. Wilson, of Marion; Cerphina Torrence, of Cedar Rapids; Luke Wilson, of South Dakota, and Geo. W. Wilson of Cedar Rapids. Mrs. Thompson joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1850, and has been continuously a member ever since. The deceased was truly a remarkable woman. Her intelligence was of a very superior order. She was gifted in speech, especially when any religious meeting was open for testimony. The depth of her insight into spiritual things was something startling. Her fervor was equal to her intellectual grasp. She was really eloquent. She was mighty in prayer, and enjoyed her church life in all its departments. Her faith was of the heroic kind. The darker the day, and the more heavily vicissitudes of all types came upon her, the more unmoved she was. She had many trials and hardships incident to pioneer life, many privations, but through them all she came smiling, having an unbreakable hold upon her Lord. In her is buried one of the heroes of the M.E. church and community. A true mother, a devoted wife, and heroic Christian. It can be truly said of her: "Servant of God, well done. Thy glorious warfare's past. The battle's fought, the victory won, And thou are crowned at last." The funeral was held from the Methodist church in Marion, on Jan. 10th, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. T.M. Evans. Beautiful and oppropriate[sic] music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. D.E. Voris, Miss Mae Reiley, Dr. J.J. Booth and C.F. Reichart. Interment was in Oak Shade cemetery. T.M.E.
