Thompson, Brainerd

Bedford   Times-Republican: After suffering long and patiently the effects of a crippled body, Brainerd Thompson, the victim of an automobile accident early in July, which caused paralysis, and suffered an injured back, passed quietly away   on Thursday, Jan. 4.  The funeral was held from the Baptist church on   Saturday afternoon.   Rev. C. C. Hatcher conducted the services, and interment was in the Fairview cemetery.   Brainerd Thompson was born at Greenville, Tenn., Aug. 17, 1894, and closed his journey to the beyond, Thursday, Jan. 4. At the age of nine years he came with his parents to Clarinda, la., where they made their home for seven years. At that time they came to Bedford and made their home west of town, where the deceased spent the remaining days of his life and yielded to the summons to come up higher.  He was the fourth of a family of five children born to Enos and Mary Thompson, and the first to leave the family circle. He leaves to mourn their loss a father, mother, three sisters, Roe, Hattie and Ruth, one brother, James, and other near relatives, and   many friends.. Faithful and loving hands loved and coaxed while he fought as a good soldier.   Just six months ago today, July 6, the brave hearted manly Brainerd Thompson started on his long tramp to the grave.   He gave his heart and life back in full surrender to his Lord last March, and was baptised into the fellowship of the First Baptist church of Bedford,  la.    Brainerd remained true and loyal to the end.   He told his mother, "It it is the Lord's will that I , be a cripple all my days, I am willing to submit, and if I never get up again I know God has made no .mistake." Not long before he ceased to communicate with friends and loved ones, his pastor had a long talk with him, when he said he was not afraid to die and he felt Jesus' presence with him , and was sure he would not forsake him when he came to the waters. Blessed be our God and father of our Jesus Christ, who giveth us the victory.   We hope to see him bye and bye, then we'll know and understand. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 1, 1917

Thompson, Carl

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.

Patient From Clarinda State Hospital Walks to Near Villisca, is Badly Frozen Dies From Exposure.

The death of Mr. Carl Thompson, a patient at the Clarinda state hospital, occurred Saturday morning at that institution, the remains being shipped home to near Des Moines. Mr. Thompson escaped from the institution on Sunday before last. He had been a trusty, and his disappearance alarmed no one at first. Monday morning a telephone call from Villisca told of a man found on the O. N. Robe farm east of Villisca, one of the Robe boys having seen him in a haystack when he went out for the stock. The weather was bitter cold, and the man being insufficiently clothed for outdoor exposure had both hands and feet frozen, also his nose and chin, being unable to walk when discovered, and being also thirsty and hungry. The Villisca and East township authorities being summoned, it was suspected that he had come from the Clarinda Asylum, who were notified, and Superintendent Bell with the Willowdale night watch Hiatt came up after him, returning him to the hospital for treatment. The vitality of the man was not sufficient to permit of his being cured, after the exposure he had been subjected to by the inclement weather. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Mar 1, 1917

Thompson, Charles 1919

Killed in Shenandoah Accident
Charles Thompson, the two-year old son of the Rev. and Mrs. Harry A. Thompson of Columbus, O., lived only a half hour this morning after he suffered a fractured skull as the result of an automobile accident which occured about 9:30 o'clock near the Otis McCrary farm on R. I.
The boy was the only child in the family. The party of tourists included Rev. and Mrs. Thompson and a sister of the pastor, Mrs. Luella Tidrick and their children of Columbus. They had been attending a conference at Tarkio, Mo., and were enroute to Mt. Ayr, Iowa, to visit relatives.
They were motoring in a Ford car and the wheels dropped into a rut which caused the car to turn over. Mrs. Thompson suffered a broken collar bone and several bad bruises. The others were not badly injured, although shaken up and slightly bruised. Rev. Thompson is pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Columbus. The body of his baby son was taken to the Buntz & Chapman undertaking parlors, until Mrs. Thompson is able to accompany her husband back to Columbus. -Sentinel Post.

Thompson, Edna E. Bales

The most horrible accident that ever occurred in this section of country was that of Mrs. Jacob Thompson, residing southeast of this city on the former Samuel Mulkins farm on East River, which caused her instant death. It is said she was assisting her husband sawing stove wood with a buzsaw run by a gasoline engine, she throwing aside the short stick sawed off. Something going wrong with the engine, Mr. Thompson stepped around to adjust leaving the engine running. A few minutes later he noticed a jar of the machine and looking around to his horror beheld his wife on the rapidly whirling circular saw. It was the work of but an instant. The saw had gashed her body from just below each arm in a circular form down to about the waist line, where it evidently first struck her, and the heart and other internal organs near by were mangled into a mass. How the terrible accident happened will never be known as Mr. Thompson did not see it or hear a moan from her, but it is supposed her clothing caught in on the teeth of the saw by a gust of wind in an unguarded moment and brought about the horrible instant death. A physician was summoned by the distracted husband but to no purpose. Her suffering was of short duration. It is said she was about 45 years of age, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Bales living in northeast Clarinda and the mother of seven children, the youngest of tender age. The accident fills the heart of all with deep sorrow and sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. The funeral will be held at 2:30 tomorrow from the United Brethren church in this city, conducted by Rev. Denny, and interment in the Davis cemetery a short distance south of the home.

Ella Cook was born in Mercer county, Illinois, January 23, 1860; her parents, Eli and Sarah Cook, lived on a farm in Mercer county, and Ella lived with them there until she was twelve years old, when she moved with her parents in 1872 to Clarinda, Iowa, where she has lived ever since. She attended the country schools in Mercer county, Illinois, and the public schools in Clarinda, Iowa, where she was a pupil in the old frame building that stood on the block where the Garfield building now stands.
She was married to John F. Thompson of Clarinda, Iowa, then and now a painter by trade, on March 6, 1879. To this union five children were born, two boys and three girls, one baby boy died in infancy and the other four survive their mother and are Ora L. Thompson, of Clarinda, Iowa, who nearly all his life has worked with his father, Leona Atkinson of Red Oak, Iowa, whose husband, Harry Atkinson, is in the grocery business in that city; Maude E. Johnson, of Ingomar, Mont., whose husband, Fred Johnson answered the call of the West and went to that new country to reside on a ranch; Minnie Robey of Clarinda, Iowa. Sister Thompson had two brothers and one sister who with her father and mother have preceded her to the land beyond.   Sister Thompson united with the Christian church    of Clarinda, Iowa, in 1887 and lived a loyal consistent member until her death. She was active in all lines of church work, being a member of the missionary society and the Ladies' Aid Society, of which she was president a number of years and a member of Brother Bisbee's Bible Class.   She attended all of these services even when ill health made it a real trial for her to do so. During the last months of her life she was a great sufferer, but always cheerful and helpful, thinking only for the welfare of her family. About the first of June, her mother love prompted her to go to Montana to see Maude and the little granddaughter that was growing up in the prairie home.   Her family gladly made it possible and as pleasant as possible for her to make the journey, although they realized it was a longer journey than she had strength   to take, but her mother love sustained her and she was able to make Maude a short visit; returning, she stopped to visit Ona in Red Oak, reaching home about the 22nd of June, and she never left the home but once since when she called on her nearest neighbor.    She soon took to her bed where she remained a patient sufferer, until her death which occurred January 19th, at 11 P. M.
The funeral was conducted at the family home by her pastor, where were assembled all her children and grand-children and a large number of other relatives including her hus­band's brothers residing in Clarinda and his sister, Mrs. M. J. Landers, from Arcade, Nebr., whose coming was a great comfort to her brother in his time of trial. There was a large gathering of neighbors and the floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.
A few years after her marriage she and her husband bought the lot just east of the family residence which they have occupied so long. It was a humble home, which was improved from time to time until they bought the lot just west of it and commenced the erection of the comfortable dwelling in which she spent the last years of her life. The new home was gained by hard work and Sister Thompson practiced all the economy and money saving: devices that lay the foundation for fortunes and resulted in the family having a splendid home and all the needed comforts during the last years of her life, thus setting a worthy example for all laboring people. She was a likeable woman and loved by her neighbors. In the neighborhood she did and said the things that make for peace. She had a large heart and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.
Sister Thompson's throne was in her home and there she reigned as a true, confident helpmate and stay to her husband, a comrade to her children, and a fairy queen to all her grandchildren. Many times in the future, members of that household will have cause to rise up and call her blessed. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Feb 1, 1916

Thompson, George - George Thompson was born October 27, 1868 in Douglas County, Illinois and died July 6, 1920 in Shenandoah, la. He was married November 15, 1893 to Miss Marian Dow. To this union were born three children, two of them dying in infancy. The one child living is Clifford R. who was a member of Company E. He was with the company through the entire service, receiving injuries from which he has not fully recovered and was taking medical treatment in Omaha when called to the bed side of his father. Besides the son and his devoted wife, he leaves to mourn their loss two brothers, Henry and Owen, of Hopkins Mo., two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Dow, College Springs, Iowa and Mrs. Florence Ingram, Hopkins, Mo., two half brothers, Wm. Waldruff, Hopkins Mo., and John Thompson.
The death of Mr. Thompson resulted from an accident which he received a few weeks ago while in the employ of Mr. J. L. Guinn. He was a faithful laborer, as he had been on the farm of Mr. Guinn for six successive years. As a husband and father, he was always thoughtful, tender and appreciative. As a neighbor, he was kind and obliging, a friend to all. Although he had made no profession of religion, he received the exhortations of his old friend and school mate, Rev. G. B. Ingram, gladly while in the hospital, expressing his desire to be the Lord's and be especially made mention how he wanted to get well that he might live for God.
His remains were brought to Braddyville Christian Church where the funeral service was conducted by Rev. Ingram, after which he was laid to rest in the Braddyville Cemetary.
The floral offerings were both profuse and beautiful. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 15, 1920

Thompson, Mose - Mr. Mose Thompson, whom we mentioned sometime ago as being confined to the state hospital, died Sunday night and will be buried Wednesday, July 6. The services will be held at the Christian church, tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 5, 1904

Mose Thompson died Monday, July 4 1904, at the state hospital, at the advanced age of 77years. He had been living the past year or two with his children in this vicinity and was gradually breaking down. A few weeks ago his mind became deranged and he was sent to the hospital for treatment but no good resulted. He was born in Tennessee, near Knoxville, and came to this county early in the '60's where he resided many years and was a prominent citizen. Although uneducated he possessed rare business tact and at one time was very wealthy, owning large land interests and a heavy dealer in stock. But reverses overtook him and his wealth vanished in a few years. He went to Kansas City and lived with a son many years till returning here. It is said that he made the reuark that he had come back home to die; while he might not have meant it just as the termination resulted, yet he closed his long career on the land that was once his own home and near the place of the family residence, as much of the state farm now belong to him years ago. The funeral took place yesterday at 10 o'clock at the Christian church and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery. He was the father of nine children but only two were present at the funeral, although several grand children were there. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 6, 1904

He left here about twenty-two years ago, but his changed appearance by these long years does not prevent acquaintances from recognizing him. He is the same Mose of olden times. Thirty odd years ago he was one of the largest real estate owners and stock shippers from southwest Iowa, but the latter business brought him financial reverses—a fate that over­took many another man in these times of varying markets following the war— and gradually his wealth was transferred to other hands.

Thompson, Ovit and Morgan, Mrs

A Double Murder and Suicide.
On last Friday evening about six o'clock, a sad tragedy occurred ten miles east of Bedford on the farm of A. A. Morgan. Ovit Thompson, 28 years of age, shot and killed Mrs. Morgan and his brother, Roscoe Thompson, out in a field about midway between the Morgan and Thompson homes, then went to the house and shot himself, dying almost instantly. Mrs. Morgan was killed and the young man fatally wounded so that he will die. The murders resulted from insane jealousy. Ovit had become infatuated with Mrs. Morgan and seeing his brother and the lady out in the field walking together, he approached them and without a moment's warning as to his intentions, shot them with a revolver. The two had been going across the field and happened to meet when they were seen together by the murderer. Both families are very prominent in that community and the people of the neighborhood are greatly wrought up over the sad affair CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 23, 1907.

Thompson, Pearl - Pearl Thompson Drowned
A telegram was received by Miss Marie Thompson last night stating that her brother, Pearl, had been drowned at Pueblo, Colo., Sunday afternoon. This comes as a great shock to the family for only a few days ago a letter was received from Pearl stating that he was working in a drug store in Colorado Springs.
One feature of this sad occurrence that only adds more sorrow, if possible, to the heart broken mother was a postal card which she received from her son this morning written only a lew hours before he was drowned. It said: Dear Mamma:—I am sick today but will write you a long letter soon. Hope you and the girls are all well. I wish I were home today. I came to Pueblo this morning for the altitude at the Springs is too high for me. I have a position here which I will take as soon as I am able to work. With love, Pearl.
Pearl is the son of Mrs. I. M. Thompson of this city and has lived near Clarinda most of his life. He was twenty one years old last April and has been in Colorado about two months, going there from Kansas City Mo., where he worked for some time in a clothing store. He left Clarinda about three years ago and for a year before that was employed at the state hospital here.
He was born at Glenwood, Iowa but while quite young his parents moved to a farm near this city where they resided until only a few years ago. I. M. Thompson, the boy's father, who has been working in Kansas City, will arrive in Clarinda tonight.
The body of the deceased is expected here tomorrow morning but at present no time has been set for the funeral.     The many friends of the family mourn with them in their sudden bereavement. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 15, 1902
