THOMPSON, GEORGE WASHINGTON George Washington Thompson, one of the oldest 
and 
most
highly esteemed citizens of near Wilmore, died Saturday, April 12, 
1913, at 
the age of 87 years.  On
March 12, Mr. Thompson celebrated his 87th birthday, a number 
of relatives, 
friends and neighbors
gathering to honor the old man on that occasion.  
At that time, it was 
noticed by those present that he
was growing quite feeble, and a few days later he 
took to his bed from which 
he was never able to arise. 
Death was due to the infirmities of age.  
Perhaps no citizen of Jessamine 
county was better known than
Mr. Thompson, and both he and the historic 
old home in which he lived were 
regarded as landmarks in
that section. The house is reputed to be 
the oldest in Jessamine county, 
having been built prior to the
year 1800. He was born and reared in this 
house, and but for a short time he 
spent in Missouri, resided
there all of his life.  His kindly, hospitable 
nature endeared him to all who 
knew him.  A number of
years ago, he yielded to the solicitation of his 
friends and neighbors and 
became a candidate for the
Legislature on the Republican ticket and was 
elected by a handsome majority.. 
 He was a lifelong
member of the Presbyterian church.  Besides his wife,  
Mrs. Louise Thompson, 
he is survived by two
children, Robert W. Thompson, and Miss 
Emma Thompson, of Wilmore, and a 
number of nieces and
nephews, among them Mrs. W. O. McDonald, 
Messrs. James, Manalus, Robert, 
Steele, Joseph and
Herbert Thompson, all of Lexington, and 
Mrs. Margaret Trumbo of Frankfort.  
Funeral services were
held at the Wilmore Presbyterian church, 
of which he had been a faithful 
member for many years,
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by 
A. H. Doak, from Genesis 25th 
chapter, 8th verse, this text
having been selected by Mr. Thompson himself, 
sometime before his death, 
assisted by Rev. W. L.
Clark, after which the remains were interred in 
Wilmore cemetery beneath a 
mound of beautiful floral
offerings from relatives and friends.


THOMPSON, PHIL. R	Col. Phil R. Thompson, 
Sr., veteran  of two wars, noted lawyer,  (?) of the
Harrodsburg bar, died Saturday.  His death was 
due to the infirmities of age, having been confined to
his room for several months.  He would have been 
88 years of age on January 8, next, and for the past
three weeks, his death has been expected at any moment.

it touched, it left sorrow, and the expressions of
sympathy from the bereaved ones were many and from
