Mr. Thomas Thompson died at his home in Wilcox, (Marysville twp.) Nodaway county, MO, at the age of 79 years, 10 months and 21 days. He was born in Franklin County, Ohio, May 19, 1809. He moved with his father to Jackson county, Indiana at the age of 16. He still remained with his father helping him on the farm until 1832, when he engages in the Black Hawk War. He remained in it one year and 26 days. At the close of the war, he returned home in 188 and was married the same year to Miss Elizabeth Carr, [a search of Indiana marriages reveals a record of Thomas Thompson to Elizabeth Skinner on 25 Dec 1833 in Jackson Co. IN] and to them were born two sons and one daughter. The two sons are still living. He remained on a farm of his own until the death of his wife, Elizabeth. He remained single two years and was united in marriage Oct. 7th, 1845, to Miss Mary E. Findley of Jackson county, Indiana, and to them were born ten children, three sons and seven daughters, of which eight are still living. He moved from Indiana to Iowa in 1851 in Monroe County, where they stayed during the winter season, and moved in the spring to Adams county, Iowa, and bought land lying near the East Nodaway river, which was the first land sale made in the county. He was one of the first settlers of Indiana, and also of Iowa. He staid on his farm one year, and he became so crippled up with rheumatism that he rented his place, moving to Hawleyville, Page county Iowa, where he engaged in hauling goods from St. Joseph, MO, to the above named place where he remained but a short time, returning to his farm, but was still employed in hauling goods and also overseeing the farm, where he staid seven years, returning to Hawleyville for three years, and moved from hence to Montgomery county, Iowa, where he purchased a farm and staid three years, selling this farm and moving to Adams county, Iowa where he lived about 16 years until the past few years where he spent his last days, which were spent in a great amount of suffering. Rheumatism was the dread disease from which he has suffered more or less since the Black Hawk War. Seven of his children and his wife were present with him in the last moments of his suffering, although for the last two days and nights he was unconscious. He passed away as if in a sweet sleep. He was a firm believer in Christ since the year 1880 when he was united to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church by Rev. W.C. Means, pastor of the Mt. Zion congregation.
