THOMAS THOMPSON DIED AT RENWICK

Thompson, son of Tom and Guri Thompson, was born on a farm two miles north of Randall April 21, 1864, and passed away at his home in Renwick June 17, 1939, at the age of 75 years, 1 month and 16 days. Death was due to cerebral hemorrhage and heart trouble. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at Story City by Rev. Amlund.
