Member of the Women's Relief Corps of Globe.
Mrs. Carrie Louise Nash Thompson, a resident of this city for many years and a pioneer of the state, died at her home yesterday at 12:20 p.m., as the result of two weeks' illness. Mrs. Ellen Ming, a daughter, of Stockton, Calif., was sent for several days before the end. Another daughter, Mrs. Frank Haynes, and her husband, Henry, former sheriff here, were with Mrs. Thompson when death came.
The body is at the Jones funeral home. Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. B.C. Brewster Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, following which burial will take place at the Globe cemetery.
As an old-time resident of the city and pioneer of the state, Mrs. Thompson had a great number of friends who mourn her death. Mrs. Thompson was a member of the Women's Relief corps.
Born Nov. 15, 1864 in Vevay, Indiana, a little town on the Ohio river, Mrs. Thompson, when she was 10 years old, came to Arizona with her parents primarily for her mother's health. The trip, which took six weeks, was made partly by water and partly by way of the Union Pacific railroad. The family remained one year at Ehrenberg, situated on the Colorado river near Yuma, where her father taught school.
Reaching school age this pioneer girl returned to Vevay and attended school, finishing her education in Ohio.
Again in 1884 she returned to Arizona and took a position as journal clerk in the famous 13th legislature at the time when the capitol of the state was at Prescott. Later she went to Casa Grande and taught school.
Her marriage to Mr. Thompson, a pioneer of this state, took place on January 1, 1887.
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson moved to Globe two years later.
Mrs. Thompson, since her residence in Globe, has spent considerable time reading and was recognized here as a student of ability in her studies of literature.
