Louisa Hancock was born near Louisville, Kentucky, Jan. 27, 1820, from there her parents removed to Owen County, Ind., where, on July 18, 1839, she was united in marriage to Daniel Thompson. Ten years after this union, she, with her husband, settled in Rockwell County, Texas. After several years residence in that state they moved to Taylor County, Iowa, where they remained twenty-four years, when they moved to near Hopkins, Mo., where they resided at the time of her death. The Lord blessed this marriage with four children, two of whom are dead, the other two living in this community---Keller Thompson and Mrs. Jno. C. McMaster. At the age of 16 years she gave her heart to Christ and joined the Little Mound Baptist church in the state of Indiana, but at the time of her death was a member of the church here. Her Christian life was one of sincerity. She possessed a faith which was bright and clear among the darkest scenes of earth, and often when suffering greatly during her last lingering illness she would say, “my God knows best how long and how much I should suffer: I am willing to wait until He comes for me, no matter how long, and I am ready to go if He calls today---His will be done.” From MOGenWeb.org (Hopkins Journal, Thursday May 13, 1897; Obituaries submitted by Julia Johnson)
