Fairfax Chief
Thursday, June 21, 1951

Mrs. Allen Thompson
Passes Away

Mrs. Allen Thompson, age 66 years passed away Friday morning, June 13, at 
the family home in the Smith Williams hotel.  Death was not unexpected as 
she had been in ill health the past two years and her condition became 
critical the past four months after undergoing an operation in a Wichita 
hospital

Funeral service was held Sunday afternoon at the First Methodist church in 
Fairfax conducted by Rev. Carl Morgan, assisted by the pastor, Rev. W. R. 
Brewer.  Interment was in Fairfax cemetery in charge of the Hunsaker 
funeral home.

Twelve members of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol attended the services as 
honorary pallbearers to pay respect to the Thompson's son, Ralph, who had 
served many years with that organization and was chief of the patrol when 
resigning last fall to enter military service with the unit of which he 
was a reserve officer.

Maud Shinn was born March 9, 1885, in Yardelle, Arkansas, one of thirteen 
children of Dr. T. J. and Elizabeth Shinn; passed away June 15, 1951, at 
the age of 66 years, 3 months, 6 days.

In 1901 she was married to C. L. Chambers of Yardelle, and to this union 
was born a son, Charles Loman Chambers who now resides at Pawhuska, Okla.  
She was widowed by a tragic accident soon after the birth of her son.

On May 1, 1904, at Yardelle, she was married to J. Allen Thompson.  To 
this union were born five children all of whom survive.

The Thompsons moved from Arkansas to a farm near Glencoe, Oklahoma, in 
1918.  They moved from there to Hominy in 1921, and in 1936 moved to 
Fairfax where they have since resided.  Mrs. Thompson was a member of the 
Methodist church at Grayhorse, in which community they resided for several 
years.  She embraced the Christian religion at an early age and was an 
avid reader of the Bible, following its principles throughout her life.

Immediate family survivors besides her husband include her son Loman 
Chambers of near Pawhuska; their four daughters and one son, Mrs. Lola 
Linscott of Montrose, Colorado, Mrs. Victoria Deaton of Wann, Okla., Mrs. 
Mildred Williams of El Reno, Okla., Lt. Ralph Thompson of Fort Bragg, 
North Carolina, Mrs. Georgiana McFadden of Fairfax; one sister, Mrs. J. V. 
Gray of Hominy; two brothers, Sanders Shinn of Harrison, Arkansas, Ernie 
Shinn of Jasper, Arkansas.  There are 15 grandchildren and five great-
grandchildren.
