Mrs. Thompson was born January 5, 1897, near Lewisville and moved to Carrollton eighteen years ago and attended the Carrollton school and churches. She was always a favorite with her classmates and friends. She was married to Frankie Thompson June 24, 1916, and to this union three children was born, two of them only lived a few hours until they were taken to a better world to live. She was a member of the Christian church and lived a clean, pure life, consolations in every act she did.

She took a pride in her home and was as ideal mother and wife. Her place in the home can never be fill, and at times like this we wonder what the plans of the Devine Ruler can be, but know that it must be for the best or He would never take a mother from her child and wife from her husband just in the prime of her life.

The pall bearers were Ray and Elmer Thompson, Allen and Marian Good, Clyde and Leslie Mays. Misses Ruby and Pearl Thompson, Ruby Smith, Freda, Christine and Blondie Mays acted as flower girls. The Christian church could not hold all those who came to pay their last respects to this friend they loved so well.
