First wife was Jemima Jane Peeples
Second wife was Jeannette Payne
Served with the 42nd Regiment, Georgia (Volunteer) Infantry, Army of Tennessee, Confederate States Army in the Civil War.
Atlanta Constitution, 3 May 1910
Colonel L. P. Thomas, commander of the famous Forty-second regiment of Georgia infantry and well known in Atlanta, died at 10:30 o'clock last night at his home, 43 West North avenue. Still suffering from an attack of paralysis, which occurred on January 24, Colonel Thomas had a second stroke on Monday, which terminated fatally.
The deceased was born in Clarke county, Georgia, seventy-five years ago. While still a youth he went to California in search of gold, stayed in the west for several years and finally returned to Georgia and settled in Lawrenceville, engaging in the mercantile business there.
At the outbreak of the war he raised a company of infantry and was made its captain. The company was part of the Forty-second regiment, of which he was later made colonel. In the battle of Atlanta, on the 22d of July, 1864, this regiment not only bore the brunt of the fighting, but effected the capture of DeGress' federal battery, entrenched beyond what is now Oakland cemetery.
After the war Colonel Thomas made Atlanta his home and became chief of police. After holding this position for a number of years he was elected sheriff of Fulton county. He was also a member of the city council for several terms.
Colonel Thomas was twice married, his first wife being Miss Jane Peeples, daughter of Judge William J. Peeples, of Lawrenceville. His second wife, who survices [sic] him, was formerly Mrs. Jeannette R. Payne.
Besides his wife, Colonel Thomas leaves the following children: Mrs. Courtland Winn, of Atlanta; Mrs. W. G. Anderson, of Atlanta; Miss Alice L. Thomas, of Atlanta; his step-daughter, Mrs. G. S. Lowman, of Birmingham; L. P. Thomas, Jr., of Little Rock, Ark.; Eugene P. Thomas, of New York city, and Walter L. Thomas, of Oklahoma City, Okla.
