Funeral Services Held From Hinton Home Sunday

Mrs. Isabelle Thompson, a resident of Plymouth county for over forty years, died at her home in Hinton, Friday, July 17, from thyroid and heart trouble at the age of 54 years.

Mrs. Thompson, whose maiden name was Isabelle Richards, was born at Hazel Green, Wis., August 17, 1870. At an early age she came with her parents to Plymouth county. They settled in the south part of the county. She grew up and was educated in the country schools.

She was united in marriage December 8, 1887, with George W. Thompson. Mr. Thompson died March 17, 1922. To their union were born nine children, one of them dying in infancy. The children are Mrs. John Harvey, Mrs. Bessie Weinrich, William, Mrs. Harold Thompson, Walter, Arthur, Luella, all of Hinton and vicinity, and Mrs. Maggie Summa, of Newell, Iowa.

The funeral was held Sunday at the residence and was private, owing to sickness in the family. Rev. D. M. Simpson, a former pastor of the Hinton Methodist church, officiated, assisted by Rev. W. P. Webb, pastor of the Hinton Methodist, church, and the interment was made in the Lincoln township cemetery.

Mrs. Thompson was a devoted wife and mother, a good neighbor and enjoyed the respect of everyone who knew her.
