On November 8, 1902 the Maker came to the home of Fred and Anna Jewell THOMPSON at Bloomingdale, Indiana and left them a little Jewell. Camella, they called her. She spent her childhood days there. Later her parents moved to a farm near Wallace where this precious jewel grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to Alfred FISHER in February 1920. Two children came to brighten and bless their home. Betty Lou, age 7 and Carolyn Ann, age 4. With the coming of the dear babies this jewel polished with the duties of love she bore for them until it shone afar. She was an ideal wife and mother. Her thoughts were ever for her loved ones. Her religion was manifest in her correct moral walk and deportment. She gave liberally of her spirit of sisterly love and affection and in so doing she was fitting her life for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. Camella gave her heart to God and united with the Presbyterian Church when but a young mother. In this church she was one of its most willing workers and will be missed by all who worshiped with her there. This jewel so polished and rare was called to rest at 5 o'clock Sunday evening, February3, 1929 at Detroit, Michigan, aged 26 years 9 months and 26 days. She leaves to mourn her departure besides the husband and two little girls, a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thompson, one sister, Mural; two brothers, Owen and Darrell, all of Gary. A grandmother and grandfather, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Thompson of Soldiers' Home, Lafayette; her grandfather Leborn and Uncle Linzzie of Annapolis; two aunts, Miss Ida Long of Madison; Mrs. David Langley and one cousin, Paul Langley of Marshall, and a host of loving friends all of whom will miss this jewel bright. "God needed one more jewel to shine in his crown afar, so the angels took Camella's hand and led her across the bar. A mother dear from us has gone a mother sweet and fair, she's resting now in Jesus' arms, in the mansion over there." Aunt Ella. -- kbz
