East Liverpool Crisis  16 Sep 1897  pg 8
Mr. John Thompson, one of the most substantial citizens of Columbiana county, 
died last evening at 6 o’clock at his home on the Calcutta road, aged 77.
	Mr. Thompson has been in failing health for two years past, from kidney 
trouble, but had so far rallied in the early summer as to be able to drive out, 
and some hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery.
	However, a relapse came, and for six weeks he had been confined to his 
bed.
	John Thompson was born in Calcutta April 1, 1820. He was a brother of 
the late Josiah Thompson. He was married in 1850 to Maria, daughter of 
Augustine M. Dawson, of Calcutta.
	His wife and three children – Charles F.; John M. and Miss Luna – 
survive. They were all present when death came.
	The funeral will occur Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, from the 
homestead on Calcutta road, and the burial will be at Longs Run cemetery.
	For many years deceased was known as the leading general merchant in 
the county, when old Calcutta was a business center.
	For a number of years past, however, he has lived a comparatively 
retired life, managing only his large real estate holdings.
	He was the soul of honor and sterling integrity. Indeed, it has been 
well remarked that if all men were like John Thompson the world would need no 
locks or bolts, or criminal laws.
