The Alabama Baptist, Montgomery, AL, July 19, 1888
MRS. AMELIA THOMPSON. Died on the 31st ultimo, at the residence of her son-in-
law, John Thames, near Perdue Hill, Ala., Mrs. Amelia Thompson, relict of the 
late Isaac Thompson, and daughter of Isaac and Abigail Lambert; in the 79th 
year of her age.

We have written many obituaries; but seldom had the pleasure of chronicling the 
close of a life, so replete with usefulness and Christian virtue. Through the 
long period of 78 years, our venerable sister was faithful to her great trusts 
in all relations; and now, at last, supported by the comforts of religion- the 
ever ruling principle of her conduct in every varying circumstance- she has 
descended to the rest of a peaceful grave; leaving to her surviving children 
and friends, the coveted legacy of an honored name, and a life record, bright 
with the luster of her eminent Christian character.  …………

Mrs. Amelia Thompson was born near Waynesboro, Screven County, Georgia, Jan. 
5th A. D. 1809, and came to Alabama on the removal of her father and family to 
said Territory about the year 1817; settling near Fort Claiborne, Monroe 
County, and where not long after, she was united in marriage to the late Mr. 
Isaac Thompson, for many years, like herself, a highly respected citizen of 
this community and a gentleman of distinguished piety, with whom she raised a 
large family of children two of whom however, Mr. Nicodemus Thompson and Mrs. 
John Thames only now survive her. She was converted under the ministry of the 
Rev. Alexander Travis, and by him baptized into the fellowship of the then, so 
called “McConnico” but now, “Claiborne Baptist Church, of which she was a 
consistent and exemplary member, at the time of her death.
