THOMPSON DIED: Near Humeston, Iowa, June 3d, 1889, after an illness of ten days, William Thompson, aged 77 years. He was born in Logan County, Kentucky, January 20, 1812. February 28, 1936, he was married to Sarah Dillon. Five sons and four daughters were born to them, three sons and three daughters of whom are living. This the companion of his early manhood died in their home in Warren County, Illinois, September 6, 1853. March 5, 1854, he married Sarah Oglesby, who had four children by a former marriage, three of whom are alive. They moved from Warren County to McDonough County, Illinois, where they lived until the spring of 1867, when they came to Lucas County, and from thence to Wayne County in 1869. Four of Brother Thompson’s sons were in the Union Army, and two of them lost their lives. At the age of 15 years, he became a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and was chosen a leader. Afterwards he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he became a class leader. In September 1849, he was licensed to exhort by the M. E. Church South. When he came to Lucas County, Iowa, finding no church privileges he organized a Sunday School which grew into a permanent church. His religious life was genial, constant, and positive. His pastor will miss his helpful presence in the congregation. For 62 years he had been a member of Christ’s visible church; and we think he is now in the “Church Triumphant which is without fault before the throne of God”. J.H. Hard The New Era, Humeston, Iowa, Wednesday, June 12, 1889, page 6 77y 4m 13d
