At the age of twenty, December 31, 1845, she was united in marriage to Charles Thompson. To this union was born five children, two of whom died in early childhood.
Sometime during the winter of 1846-7, she joined the Christian church at Fairview, Indiana, but about five years ago joined by letter the Christian Church at Bentonville.
With the exception of two years all her life has been spent in Fayette County and she leaves many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The companionship of nearly fifty years is broken and the wife, mother, and grandmother will be here with us on earth no more. In the last days of her illness her friends anxiously solicitious for her comfort, would ask if she wanted anything. She would often reply, "I want rest."
During the past two or three months she had been a patient sufferer. Thursday evening May 23, 1895 the spirit left her wasted worn out body and the long for rest was given her. To the friends and relatives she had summoned to her bedside a few hours before her death and said,"I am going to a better land, meet me there."
Then why should we grieve? Think of that "better country" where there will be no more days of pain, or nights of waking: the blessed reunion of relatives and neighbors; of the joy and peace and rest of that "better country," for "eye hath not seen, neither hath ear heard the joys the Lord hath prepared for his own."∼w/o Charles Thompson,
