Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark September 10, 1914

John Thompson, a well known and highly esteemed citizen, superintendent of 
the Greenleaf-Johnson Lumber Company's plant, South Norfolk, died very 
suddenly yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at his residence, 12 Hardy Avenue.
Mr. Johnson had been in ill health during the summer and was only able to be 
at his post of duty part of the time.  He went to the mill Tuesday, but 
remained only a short time.  He returned to the plant yesterday morning, 
feeling much better, and while there his condition became very alarming, so 
much so that he was hastily returned to his home in an automobile, reaching 
there about 9:30 o'clock.  He expired within a half hour.  He had been 
connected with the company for nearly twenty years and was formerly employed 
by Le Kies and Collins, lumber business. He was a native of Canada, but had 
lived in Virginia nearly thirty years.  He was 55 years of age and leaves 
his widow and three children, Mrs. A.G. Ellis of Timminsvile, S.C.; Miss 
Della Thompson and John Thompson.
Upon his arrival at his residence he was attended by Drs. Lawford and Sleet, 
in addition to a trained nurse.  Everything possible was done for him, but 
without avail.
The funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as his children arrive.
