Thompson, Blanche – Obituary

Sudden Death
Blanche Thompson

Blanche, the little four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S.S. Thompson, died at 4 p.m. Tuesday after an illness of only a few hours. The little one was apparently as well as common until about 10 o’clock when it was taken suddenly with an ailment of the kidneys, and, although Dr. Whiting was called at once he was unable to stay the progress of the disease and the little one passed away at 4 o’clock that afternoon.

The funeral services were conducted in the M.E. Church yesterday at 10 o’clock by Rev. A. Roberts and the interment was in the city cemetry.

The bereaved parents have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community in their sudden bereavement.
