Last Friday night at 12:00 the death of Tipton Thompson occurred at the home of his son, J. W. Thompson, some three miles northwest of town. The funeral was conducted Saturday at 4:00 PM by Elder C. E.
Moore at the Mills Cemetery where interment was made.
Mr. Thompson was born in Logansport, Indiana, September 22, 1831. This is where he grew to manhood. In 1851 he moved to California; remaining there several years. He was married on April 5, 1858 to Evaline Coon, in whom he found a faithful, loving and devoted companion for 50 years and one week. In 1879 the Tipton Thompson Family came to Texas remaining until Tipton's death, April 10, 1908.
Mr. Thompson was an industrious and honorable man with high ideals of life and hence he made many friends because he was a friend to many. He became a Christian in 1856 and at no time did he shrink from following faithfully in his Master's Service andwas rewarded with a happy, peaceful life.
Tipton and Evaline were blessed with seven children, and a number of grandchildren, who live to mourn his departure. Thus a happy family is separated. This is the lot of man in this world,"The ages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." May he have attained the biblical ideal in
his going. We extend the family our sincere sympathy.
