The Tuscumbia Christian Church, filled to capacity, did not accommodate half of the many friends attending the funeral services for Frank L. Thompson on Sunday afternoon. Rev. A.L. Alexander officiated at the services with burial in the Tuscumbia Cemetery under the direction of Phillips Funeral Home. Masonic ceremonies were held at the grave.
Frank Lawrence Thompson, a well loved resident of Tuscumbia, died suddenly on Wednesday night at Waynesville of a cerebral hemorrhage. He was born March 23, 1884, at Tuscumbia, the son of John and Hattie Thompson.
At an early age he began working in the blacksmith shop of his stepfather, J.E. Kallenbach, and then engaged in the garage business with him for many years. For three years during World War II he was employed as a guard at the Bagnell Dam, and since the close of the war was employed at the Bell garage in Waynesville.
Early in 1911 he was united in marriage with Stella Blackburn, who died a few months later in the same year. On June 24, 1917, he was united in marriage with Icie L. Burns, and to this union was born one daughter, Frances Laurice.
He is survived by his wife, Icie, and daughter, Frances (Mrs. LeRoy Snodgrass) his twin brother, Charles C. of Portland, Oregon, and a sister, Mrs. H.M. Atwell, of Eldon. He also leaves three half brothers, L.E. Kallenbach and D.E. Kallenbach, of Tuscumbia, and Joseph E. Kallenbach of Ann Arbor, Michigan; two half sisters, Mrs. C.E. Fendorf of Jefferson City, and Mrs. Asa Mayfield, of El Reno, Oklahoma, and his step-father, J.E. Kallenbach of Tuscumbia. He is survived by one uncle, C.M. Thompson of Portland, Oregon.
Some 40 years ago he united with the Christian Church (under the preaching of W.M. Mundell) and continued in that faith until death. He was a member of the Modern Woodman and the Independent Order of Oddfellows, and also a member of the Masonic Order, including the Royal Arch Degree.
