Mr. Thompson passed away Tuesday will sitting in a chair at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Layton Myrick. He was a very prominent man and was well known. Mr. Thompson was born in Staunton, Va., and went to Wayne county when but 5 years of age. The greater part of his seventy-five years had been spent in Richmond. A severe cold and bronchial trouble had kept him away from his office for a few days but during that time his condition was never regarded as serious, and he was never confined to his bed with the ailment. However, he had grown weaker each day and his heart failure is attributed to his extremely feeble condition. He survived his wife just one month to the day.

Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church in that city.
