DEAN OF BANKERS DIES AS RESULT OF INJURIES
  
JOSEPH CUNNINGHAM THOMPSON, millionaire banker, and widely known business man, 
died this morning at the homestead at 506 West Market street.  Death resulted 
from a fall in which he fractured his hip just a week ago.  Due to his 
advanced age, the fall resulted in complications.

J. C. THOMPSON was born in Centerville, Ohio on June 6, 1841.  At the age of 
17 he came to Lima and engaged in the dry goods business.  In the eighties he 
organized and was made president of the Ohio National Bank, now known as the 
Old National Bank.  Mr. THOMPSON was president of this institution for thirty 
years.

Surviving the deceased banker, his wife having preceded him to the grave 20 
years ago, is one son, MARSHALL SPENCER THOMPSON; a sister, Mrs. TURNBULL, of 
California; two grandchildren, J. C. THOMPSON, III, and Mrs. H. L. GAYLOR, Ft. 
Thomas, Ky., and two great-grandchildren, Master JACK and Miss HILDEGARDE, 
children of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. THOMPSON, III.  Since the death of his wife, 
Mrs. MARSHALL SPENCER THOMPSON has presided over the old homestead.  

Funeral services will be held from the Thompson homestead, the Rev. KIRK B. 
O’FERRALL, of Christ’s Episcopal church, conducting the services.  Burial will 
be made in the Thompson tomb in Woodlawn cemetery.
