THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, June 4, 1931, Volume LV, Number 31, Page , Column , "DEATH'S HARVEST. TOWNSEND."
Thomas TOWNSEND, son of Harvey and Elizabeth (DAWSON) TOWNSEND, was born at Georgetown, {Beaver County,} Pennsylvania, April 1, 1861 and departed this life at his home in Taylor township, May 13, 1931, aged seventy years, one month and twelve days. He came to Indiana with his parents when a small lad and they located on a farm in Taylor Township, four miles south of Bloomfield. Here he lived with his brothers and sisters and mother until manhood, having lost his father when he was but nine years of age. On November 24, 1888, he was married to Hattie COCHRAN, daughter of James and Eliza COCHRAN. Five children were born to this union-four sons and one daughter. They are Marvel TOWNSEND, of Newberry; Beverly TOWNSEND, deceased; Rodney TOWNSEND, Indianapolis; Mrs. Goldie YORK, Newberry and Teddie TOWNSEND, at home. In 1910 he united with the United Brethren Church at Bethany, under the pastorate of Rev. Perry KEY, which membership he was faithful to the end. Tom, as all knew him best, was always ready to go to the aid of his neighbors and friends, believing in the Golden Rule, "Do Unto Others As You Would That They Should Do Unto You." Will make one honest, kind and good as neighbors ought to be. In his passing the community has lost one of its best citizens, and the family a very dear companion and father. He was stricken suddenly at noon on May 13, and passed away the same day at 11:35 p.m., passing as he often wished-without suffering and while at work. He was conscious during his last hours, and told his family and friends that it was the end, but that he was ready to go. All was done for him that medical skill and loving care of his wife and children could do to stem the hand of death, but it was the will of the Master that he should go, and their assistance was of no avail. Besides the children named above, his wife also survives; also ten grandchildren survive. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, May 17, at 2:00 o'clock from the Scotland Presbyterian Church.
