The Georgia Enterprise, August 29, 1884
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
     Died at Covington, Ga., August the 17th, 1884, JAMES Y. THOMPSON, who was 
born near Winchester, S. C., in November, 1799, and died in the 85th year of his
age. He connected himself with the Presbyterian church in early life. From his
native State he moved to Georgia and there connected himself with the church
at Covington, Ga., in the year 1829, where he remained a member until the year 
1842, when a church was organized at Bethany, near his home in Newton county,
and he moved his membership there and attended regular the remainder of his 
life. He was connected with the church near sixty years, and was a strict 
observer of its ordinances, and also a firm temperance advocate; showing by his 
pious walk and Godly conversation, that he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, 
and the command being obeyed by the Phillippian Jailer that obedience would not 
only save him but his household, and we trust that the belief of our deceased
father was not only sufficient for himself but for his household. Believe on 
the Lord Jesus Christ and thou and thy household shall be saved. -A FRIEND
