St. Clair County Obits

MRS. EDGAR THOMPSON

St. Clair County Democrat
24 July 1941
The body of Mrs. Edgar Thompson was brought to Osceola Saturday for burial. Mrs. Thompson had been seriously ill since early in December.

C.E. Higgins conducted the services at the Valley Church. Interment was in the Horn Cemetery.

Mrs. Thompson was born in Germany and came to America as a very young girl. She and Mr. Thompson were married just before he entered military service in the first world war.

Although they never lived in St. Clair County after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson often visited his father, William Thompson, in the Valley neighborhood. Their home was in Joplin for many years, but is now in Illinois.
