She was born in Hayward June 17, 1892. Was married to John Thompson in 1911. To this union 5 children were born, four of which survive their mother, one an infant of only two weeks old.

Another sweet and beautiful life has gone to the eternal rest. No one can look back on her memory without feeling that there is such a thing as a God-filled life. Mrs. Thompson was a young woman of fine qualities of heart and mind, a mother who gave her full strength and all of mother love to her children, who proved herself a helpful neighbor having the highest respect of all who knew her in the varied aspects of her life.

The loss is keenly felt by the husband and children. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their great sorrow.
