Death of Joseph T. Thompson
The sad intelligence was received on Saturday that Joseph T. Thompson had died at Lone Pine, California on the 8th inst. Full particulars were not given but the statements were that he was accidentally drowned while fishing and that he had been buried by the Knight Templars of which order he was a member.
Letters received from Mr. Thompson, written the day before his death, show that at that time he was enjoying his usual good health. The unexpected news of his death was a great shock to his aged parents, his other relatives and his many friends.
Joseph T. Thompson was the second son of Judge J. H. and Eliza Jane Thompson.
He was born in Hillsboro October 24th, 1844, and was in the 41st year of his age. He spent the early years of his life here and is remembered as a gentle and good boy.
He united with the Methodist Church in his 14th year and was always, when opportunity offered, fond of attending its services.
After leaving school he showed an aptitude for business but as the war was going on at the time he enlisted as a soldier in the 12th Ohio Volunteer Calvary. He was with the regiment in its various fiends of services and was mustered out at First Lieutenant Nov. 12th, 1865.
For the next two years he remained at home and during part of the time assisted his father in his office as Register in Bankruptcy.
In 1868, desiring a larger field for business; he removed to the State of Nebraska, locating at Beatrice. Here he remained for a time as confidential clerk for McDowell c Weston, who were extensive dealers in real estate and stocks.
His abilities as a business man becoming known he was offered in 1870, a responsible position in the banking house of Sweet & Brook at Lincoln. In this position he became very popular with the patrons of the bank as well as with the government officials and other prominent citizens of Lincoln.
After two years in Lincoln he removed to Nebraska City to become a partner in the banking business with James Sweet who was then Treasurer of the State of Nebraska.
His business here was good but the promise of better prospects in the mining regions of California led him to withdraw from this place early in 1874.
He invested the means at his command in mining properties in the neighborhood of Lone Pine, California. These gave promise of being very remunerative but the immense capital required for their successful working prevented him realizing the expected returns. He, however, lived and worked on in full hope of ultimate success when he was so suddenly called away.
"Joe Thompson" as he was familiarly called by his many friends was from childhood a kind and generous boy. As a young man he is lovingly remembered by his associates as one who was always a gentleman in the truest sense. As a soldier in the service he was popular alike with his brother officers and the private soldiers. No one ever asked
of him a favor which was not granted if in his power. He was ever ready to assist anyone in trouble and his large heart and generosity were proverbial among his associates. In society his polite and genial qualities made him loved and admired by all.
He was a loving and dutiful son, a devoted brother and a true friend. His memory will be ever fondly cherished by his many friends in Ohio, Nebraska and California who share with his bereaved family their grievous sorrow for his death.
Kind, good and loving as he was while here he is doubtless blessed and happy in the arms of Him whose chief attributes are kindness, love and mercy.
