Jackson Argus
Thornton, Mrs. C. H. Dies
Mrs. C. H. Thornton, one of Jackson’s most estimable women died at her home on 
Covington street last Friday night.
Mrs. Thornton had been in very ill health for a long time and was a great 
sufferer, but bore it all with a fortitude that is characteristic to the 
Christian.  Realizing her condition as they did her friends were not surprised 
at the sad news of her death.  The funeral service was conducted at the Baptist 
church on Sunday morning at 10 o’clock by Rev. Alex Atkinson assisted by Dr. C. 
W. Humphreys in the presence of a large audience of relatives and sympathizing 
friends, after which the body was laid to rest in the city cemetery.
Mrs. Thornton was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel McKibben, and a 
grand-daughter of Judge Harkness.  The friends of her youth as well as her 
womanhood bear testimony to the pure gold of her character, and the noble son 
who has grown up under her care and her council has a precious legacy in the 
name which she leaves him.
