Death of William E. Thomas
Mr. William E. Thomas, who died yesterday in this city was well known to and will be missed by a wide circle of native Washingtonians, since he was born, grew up and spent practically his whole life within the
ten miles square. His school-boy days were passed in South Washington, where he was one of the founders of the Jefferson Debating Society, an organization of note in South Washington's educational annals. His
business was that of dairyman, and at different times he managed dairy farms in Maryland and Virginia. He was interested in scientific research, and a recent issue of Popular Astronomy contains an article by him, promulgating discoveries concerning the laws governing the density and height of the atmosphere. He was an active member of the Washington Chess Club and furnished the chess notes for Saturday's Star. His funeral will take place on Wednesday at 2 p.m. from Lee's undertaking establishment.
