Mrs. James Thompson Dies Suddenly

Mrs. Thompson, wife of James Thompson of Lincoln township, was stricken with apoplexy while visiting at the home of Mrs. Geo Metz home in this city, on Saturday evening. She never regained consciousness and passed away early Tuesday morning.

Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Thompson was first stricken last summer, and to all appearances, had about recovered her former health, when again stricken with the same disease.

The bereft husband and children have the sincere sympathy of their friends and neighbors.
