Jessie Thomas, sister of Fred Thomas, and daughter of the late Henry R. Thomas, died at Freeport last Friday morning from dropsy, after an illness of a few days. Miss Thomas was about 41 years old and for 20 years was a helpless invalid from a deranged mind. Her taking away can only be interpreted as a blessing to her. The funeral services were held at the M.E. church at Freeport Saturday afternoon and interment made in the family lot at Phelps cemetery. Of the immediate family all that now remain is Fred of this township, and a sister living at Atlanta, Ga.
