E.A. Thompson Is Called By Death
Saturday morning, February 13th, 1932, at 11:30, the Angel of Death released the spirit of Eugene A. Thompson from his pain racked mortal body.
Eugene A. Thompson was born in Jackson, Tenn., May 3, 1870. He lived to the age of 61 years, 7 months and 10 days.
Mr. Thompson came to Texas in young manhood. He married Miss Claudia V. Morgan of Axtell, Texas, December 4, 1894. To this union came four children, two boys who died in infancy, then Miss Ruth Thompson and Miss Sara Thompson.
He, and his family, moved to Clarendon in 1897, remained two years, and moved back to Axtell for a short time. He returned to Clarendon where he has made his home since 1899.
Since coming to Clarendon, Mr. Thompson was in the employ of The Powell Trading Company; going from there to the E.M. Ozier Grocery for one year. When the Clarendon Mercantile Co. was bought by Williams Bros. he went back to work for them and continued on when the business changed into the hands of Hanna-Pope & Co. Six years ago, he went into business for himself.
Eugene Thompson became a Christian in childhood and united with the Methodist Church of which he continued a consistent member through the many years. He could never give much audible expression of his spiritual experiences, but he quietly lived his religion daily in the home and on the street. He was secretary of the Wesley Bible Class from time to time of its organization some twenty years ago to weeks before his home going.
Mr. Thompson was a member of the Woodmen of the World, of the Eastern Star, and of the Masonic Lodge. He was made a Master Mason November 14, 1910. He was elected secretary of the Blue Lodge, of the Chapter, and of the Council in June 1921. He continued to serve in that capacity until the time of his death except for the year 1923-24 when Mr. John Hunt was secretary of the Blue lodge.
Sunday afternoon, shortly before 2:30, a large number of his Masonic Brothers met at his residence and from there marched in a body, with the pall bearers, Messrs Joe Goldston, J.H. Hurn, Bob Weatherly, Paul Shelton, Homer Mulkey, E.T. Pope, Edley Crabtree, and John Hunt, accompanying his body to the Methodist Church, where the funeral services were held. At the church door, members of the Wesley Bible joined the procession.
Following the processional, "Lead Kindly Light," the choir sang "Does Jesus Care." Rev. B.N. Shepherd led the opening prayer. A male quartet, Messrs Clyde Hudson, Robert S. Cope, G.L. Boykin, and Elbert Bowen, sang "It is Well With My Soul". Rev. B.N. Shepherd read as the Schipture [sic] lesson selection from the 90th, and 73rd. Psalms. Mesdames O.T. Smith and J.L. McMurtry sang a duet arrangement of "One Sweetly Solemn Thought".
The message of the hour was brought by Rev. E.B. Bowen. Rev. Bowen used as his theme "Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the Death of His Saints." Quoting the words of Paul, "I have fought a good fight," and of Job, "I know my Redeemer Liveth."
The closing prayer was led by Rev. L.A. Reavis.
To the strains of "God Will Take Care of You" the mortal body of Eugene Thompson was brought from his church home and to the Odd Fellow Cemetery where it was laid to await the resurrection morn.
The concluding service at the cemetery was conducted by the Masonic Lodge with Mr. Bennett Kerbow acting as Most Worshipful Master.
Mr. Thompson left to mourn his going, his wife, Mrs. E.A. Thompson, two daughters, Misses Ruth and Sara Thompson, a sister, Mrs. S.T. Shelton, of Waco, and seven nieces.
Those attending the funeral from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Blackwell and daughter, Maxine, of Amarillo, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Blackwell and son of Amarillo, Mr. Gordon Morgan of Ropesville, and Miss Lillian Abbott of Silverton.
