Feb 20, 1913 - Decatur Journal

The community of Van Wert was all broken up the past
week over the double bereavement in the family of
Henry Thompson. Last week Mrs. Thompson was called
to Des Moines by the death of her daughter, Mrs. Dollie
Baxter, who died on Wednesday, and while she was in
that city her husband, Mr. Henry Thompson, one of the
most highly respected citizens of Van Wert, passed away
at his home in Van Wert Thursday evening, his death being
due to injuries received a few weeks ago when a pile of
wood fell over on him. The body of Mrs. Baxter was brought
to Van Wert for internment, the double funeral being held
on Sunday afternoon, and father and daughter were laid to
rest in the Van Wert cemetery. Their funeral was one of the
largest ever held in Van Were. We will have obituary
notices next week.
