JAMES H. THOMPSON
     MT. SAVAGE – James H. Thompson, 80, of Wellersburg Road, was dead on
arrival yesterday at Frostburg Community Hospital.
     Born in Clarysville, he was a son of the late James H. and Lucy (Lafferty)
Thompson.
     He was a member of Frostburg World War I Barracks, Henry Hart VFW Post
1411, Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Barrelville Outdoor Club and Soverignty
(sic) Masonic Lodge 665, Akron.
     Surviving are his widow, Althea (Wilhelm) Thompson; two sisters, Mrs.
Samuel LaPorta, Frostburg, and Mrs. Bertha Bowman, Cumberland, a brother,
Lawrence Thompson, Baltimore.
     The body is at the Hafer-Sowers Funeral home in Frostburg where friends
will be received today from 7 until 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 until 4 and 7
until 9 p.m.

Additional Comments:
Transcribed from newspapers images.  In the 1900 US Federal Census, 
James was listed as James H. Burkett, and 5 years of age.  It is
possible he was the son of Lucy by a previous relationship.  At that point,
James and Lucy had only been married for a little over one year (15 Oct 1898). 
If anyone can shed light on this mystery, I would greatly appreciate learning
the whole story.
