E. H. THOMPSON
E. H. Thompson died at Waukesha, Wis, Feb. 7,
1911, of old age. He was born in Dundas, Canada, Oct. 10, 1834, and
came to Wisconsin in 1855 and settle at Waupaca. In 1857 he married
Myra Spencer and to this union were born seven children, four of
whom still survive. Deceased was a resident of Greenwood, Clark
County from 1892 until four years ago, when he and wife went to
live with their daughter, Mrs. A. P. Adams of Delafield. Two years
ago he was taken to a sanitarium at Waukesha on account of his
failing health. During his last few months he failed quite rapidly
until death relieved him of his sufferings. Although his death was
note unexpected it came as a sudden shock to those who were
endeared to him.
During Mr. Thompson's residence in Greenwood he was appointed
postmaster, in which capacity he served four years during president
Cleveland's administration. Later he conducted his business, that
of Jeweler, in his old home where J. Volk and Brother now have
their tailor shop. His life was quiet and peaceable, always willing
to serve others and to do his duty as it should be done. He was a
member of the Masonic order.
Through the passing away of this good man, his relatives and
friends have lost an endearing and conscientious friend. Funeral
services were conducted and interment made at Waupaca.
