Horry Herald June 15, 1905
Mannesseth Thompson

After suffering the most excruciating pain from cancerous affection on his 
face more than a year, Mr. Mannasseth Thompson breathed his last at his home 
near Adrian on last Wednesday, June 7th, 1905 age about 60 years.

Mr. Thompson was a Confederate Veteran having entered Confederate service at 
the beginning of “the bloody struggle” and faithfully following the 
Confederate flay until the surrender of Lee’s Army at Appomattox.

Being the eldest son of Rev. John R. and Mrs. Clarkey Thompson he was brought 
up under Christian influence and obeying the injunction to “Remember now thy 
Creator in the days of thy youth,” he united with Poplar M. E. church early in 
life and remained a faithful and consistent of the same until his death. His 
doors were always open to all ministers of the Gospel regardless of 
denomination, and many who have enjoyed his hospitality, sympathize with him 
in his painful affliction, and joined their prayers with his for his recovery 
but God knew best, and His will hath been done.

Mr. Thompson married Miss Margarett Ludlam, and she with many friends and 
acquaintances survive him, and mourn his loss. But while we mourn, it isnot as 
those who have no hope, for of him it might truly be said he “lived the life 
of the righteous and died the same.”

Although he had none of his own he was very fond of children, and many of the 
little ones of the community will long remember “Uncle Nassa” and their visits 
to his home, the apples and peanuts they ate together and the beautiful 
stories he told them, will ever occupy a prominent place in their “fond 
recollections” of childhood days.

His remains now rest in the old family grave yard, near where most of his life 
was spent.

A Friend.
