Thompson - Walter A.
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 6 Dec 1912
Walter A. Thompson, formerly a resident of New Richmond, died Saturday morning at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. Harrison Breaks in Crawfordsville. He had been in poor health much of the year, and had spent much time at Martinsville and in Indianapolis hospitals in hopes to regain his former health. Finding he could not recover, his wish was to return from Indianapolis to his home and was removed to the Breaks home a few days ago. Death was the result of heart disease with other complications. Mr. Thompson was born six miles north of Crawfordsville September 6, 1864. He was married in April 1889 to Miss Minnie Breaks who survives him. Besides the widow he is survived by one sister, Mrs. Isaac Jones of Crawfordsville and two brothers, Samuel P. Thompson of West Plains, Mo and Cyrus C. Thompson of Crawfordsville. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson had this year finished a handsome new country home on their farm, west of Crawfordsville but the death angel barred them the pleasure of it together. The funeral occurred from the Breaks home at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon and was in charge of Rev. FW Hixson of Crawfordsville and Rev. South of Robert’s Chapel. The interment was made in Oak Hill Cemetery. - thanks to Kim H
