Mr. Thompson was a a native of Addison Co., Vermont. He had been a resident of this county for several years. About 4 years ago since, he had a paralytic stroke which seriously impaired his speech and usefulness. He patiently bore his suffering suntil death relieved him of all earthly cares.

He leaves an afflicted widow and two or three sorrowing children, who are all married. The deceased was a member of good standing of Neillsville Lodge A.F. and A.M., and his remains were interred in our village cemetery on last Tuesday with Masonic honors.
