Frank G. Thompson.

  Word was received here yesterday of the death of Frank G. Thompson, 
which occurred at his home in Pittsburg at 2:30 o'clock yesterday 
afternoon, after a lingering illness, of a complication of diseases 
that baffled medical skill.  Mr. Thompson was born in Juniata township, 
February 15, 1863, and grew to manhood on his father's farm, attending 
in the winter the schools of the township.  Upon reaching manhood he 
took up school teaching and for several years was numbered among the 
foremost teachers of the county.  In the early eighties he went to 
Pittsburg and entered the real estate business in which he was very 
successful.  He was possessed of a bright, cheerful disposition and 
made friends easily.  Surviving are his wife and two sons, Harold and 
Raymond, both of Pittsburg; also one brother, John A., of Newry.  In 
the death of Mr. Thompson, the state loses a valuable citizen, the 
family a loving and devoted husband and father and his legion of 
friends a worthy companion.  The funeral will take place in Pittsburg.
