THOMPSON
MRS. M. H. THOMPSON
A Prominent Woman Passes Away Monday Night
Monday evening shortly after 11 o'clock Mrs. Mary Hardin Thompson, one of the best known and most prominent women in the community, died at her home on Warwick street, aged 87 years. The funeral took place at the Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Lon Robinson. The pall-bearers were Judge T. M. Cardwell, D. M. Hutton, Burr and Gore Moberly, Andrew Gore and Hon. J. Morgan Chinn, of Frankfort. Mrs. Thompson was a daughter of Judge Christopher Chinn, and a member of one of the oldest and most representative families in the state, prominent both in its civil and social history. The women of her family have always been noted for the magnetism and intellect. Mrs. Jane T. Cross, one of the most eminent writers of the South, was a sister of Mrs. Thompson. She was born June 27, 1821 and in 1833 united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she has since been a devoted member. Early in life she was married to Dr. Benjamin Bowman, a native of Louisiana. He was an eminent physician and surgeon, and gained a world-wide fame as the inventor of the hyperdermic needle. After his death she was married to John B. Thompson, ex-Lieutenant-Governor of Kentucky and ex-United States Senator. In the race for Lieutenant-Governor his election was most peculiar and very complimentary. The whole Democratic ticket was elected with the exception of his name. He was a Whig, and was put in by an overwhelming majority. His face is very familiar to most people here now, as an excellent oil portrait of him hangs above the Judge's rostrum in the court house. Mrs. Thompson had all the intellect and charm of the women of her race. To the end she retained her clearness of mind and her interest in affairs. She was a great reader and a fluent talker, and years did not seem to dim her interest and individuality. Col. Jack Chinn, her nephew, and Mrs. Jennie Dixon, a niece, are her nearest surviving relatives. Col. Chinn came up form Frankfort to attend the funeral.
