C. E. Thompson Dies Friday Near Lowry
Curtis Elias Thompson, son of William and Mary Thompson, was born August 1st, 1879 near Tiffin, Missouri, and departed this life at 9:32 p.m. September 6th, 1935 at his home two and one-half miles west of Lowry City, Missouri at the age of 56 years, 1 month and 5 days.
He was united in marriage to Della M. Perrine March 1st, 1900 and to this union one son was born, Clarence, of the home. Besides his wife and son he leaves to mourn his departure one granddaughter, Helen Nadine and daughter-in-law Bessie, both of the home, two sisters, Eldra Moore, Argo, Illinois, Laura Hagen, Kalispell, Montana, three brothers, Dan, of the home, John, of Fort Scott, Kansas, George, of Raton, New Mexico, one half brother, Felix Thompson, one half sister, Armitta Smith, both of Raton, New Mexico.
He was preceded in death by his father, mother and two half-sisters.
Curt, as he was commonly called has been in ill health for the past 25 years. He bore his afflictions with such fortitude, mingled with his cheerful disposition, that few of his friends knew of his ill health. Curt has experienced untold suffering the last few months of his sickness. His life was characterized by his ever cheerful disposition being a devoted husband and father and a good neighbor. He will be sadly missed by his family, relatives and his many friends which he could number by the scores. Although his life has been one of high moral principals, he just recently confessed his faith in Christ.
Curt has passed but not forgotten,
Loving memories shall be cherished.
For we shall miss him from our midst,
But we love the thought -
His soul shall never perish.
A friend
