Willie Thompson, Obit

Willie Thompson who met a tragic death on the 16th of Oct. last at night while 
hunting by a tree falling on him.  He was thirty years old a member of Cedar 
Rock Church for 15 years hence you see he has followed out the admonitions of 
the scriptures where it said, “Remember thy Creator in the days of they 
youth.”  He loved his mother more than all things else in this world.  The 
last word he ever spoke in this world he called his mother.  Some noted author 
was once asked which was the three greatest words in the English language, and 
his reply was these words, My mother, My country and My God.  Willie Thompson 
was a good citizen, a Christian Gentleman and a dutiful son.  Although the 
flowers and wreaths placed on his grave by his many friends has withered, yet 
when loved ones visit that sacred spot the soft winds whistle and tell us he 
is not dead but gone on before.   A Friend.
