                       SUDDEN DEATH TAKES LIFE OF LOCAL WOMAN
       VISITS STORE, MAKES PURCHASE AND DIES SHORTLY AFTER RETURNING HOME

The community was shocked Sunday morning to learn of the sudden death of 
Mrs. Flora Thompson, 724 Pleasant street, which occurred at her home about 8 
o'clock Saturday evening. Mrs. Thompson had been in poor health- for some 
time but had remained active in keeping her home and caring for her aged 
aunt. Mrs. Jennie McTaggart, who has been with her for the past three years.

After supper Saturday ight Mrs. Thompson went over to Engemanns' grocery 
store on S. Bridge street and while making her purchases mentioned the fact 
she was not feeling well so Martin Engemann took her home in his car. Dr. 
Dutt was summoned but Mrs. Thompson lived only a few minutes.
Death was attributed to hypostatic congestion of the lungs.

Flora Warfel Thompson was born in 1862 at Bath. She was the widow of the 
late William E. Thompson. The family were former residents of Fenwick, 
having moved to Belding over twenty years ago. There was one son, Fred, a 
brakeman on the railroad, who was killed in an accident at Grand Ledge 
several years ago. Mrs. Thompson and her sister-in-law, Miss Lena Thompson, 
a teacher in Albion, have resided together for a number of years. The 
deceased was a loyal member of the local Methodist church.

Funeral services were held from the Fitzjohn funeral home Tuesday afternoon 
at 1:30, Rev. George A. Mooers officiating, and burial was made in the 
family lot at Shanty Plains cemetery. Mrs. Thompson is survived by two 
sisters, Mrs. F.N. Ball of Charlotte, and Mrs. Euphemia Barry, of Traverse 
City, besides a host of friends.
