Virginian Pilot August 29, 1907

                     GEO. L. THOMPSON DIED LAST NIGHT    

        Prominent Business Man of Berkley and Member of Five Secret Orders

George L. Thompson, one of Berkley ward's best known residents and business 
men, died last evening at 7 o'clock at his residence in Chestnut street 
after a lingering illness of more than a year's duration.
The deceased conducted the only jewelry business in the ward for more than 
fifteen years, in which he was quite successful in building a large trade 
and making a host of friends.  He was a member of five orders and in all 
held positions of trust.  The lodges are Lee No. 48, K. of P.; Thomas 
Jefferson Council No. 109, Junior Order United Americans; Berkley Lodge No. 
46, W.O.W..; the order of Ben Hur and the Heralds of Liberty.
Mr. Thompson was 40 years old and a native of Wisconsin, but had been a 
resident of Berkley ward and Berkley more than 22 years.  He is survived by 
a widow and three small daughters, his father, Col. E.B. Thompson, of 
Washington, D.C.; a sister, also of that city and a brother.
The funeral will take place Friday but the details have not been arranged 
yet.
His close application to business was perhaps one of the largest 
contributor's to his death.  He went away several weeks ago for his health, 
but failed to recuperate and returned home about ten days ago.
His father arrived here several days ago from Washington and was with his 
son at the end.

Magnolia Cemetery.
