THEODORE M. THOMPSON

MESSAGE BRINGS NEWS OF DEATH OF THEO. THOMPSON AT LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Messages received here last night brought news of the death of
Theodore Thompson at Los Angeles, Cal., where he had been for
several months in hope of recuperating his health which failed
three years ago. The body will be brought here for burial,
accompanied by Mrs. Thompson who has been with her husband.
Mr. Thompson was widely known and one of the popular young men
of the city. He was born here Aug. 29, 1878 and after completing
school was employed at the Goodrich docks, later becoming a purser
on one of the boats of the company and for several years held the
position of assistant purchasing agent of the company here. Three
years ago he was forced to give up the position on account of his
health and later took up his home in the west. Mr. Thompson was
married five years ago to Miss Louise Olson, who with his mother
and two sisters, Mrs. Herman Meyer, this city and Mrs. H.B. Ireland,
of Chicago, survive him. He was a member of St. Paul’s Norwegian
church. Funeral announcement will be made later.
