Thomas H. Thompson was born May 30, 1858. He was the second child of Josiah and Catherine Lilly Thompson. Nothing is known of him except what was written in his obituary.
Obituary - "The many friends of Thomas H. Thompson were unutterably pained by the sad intelligence that he had died at the residence of A.F. Hill, his brother-in-law, Monday morning 4th last (4 January, 1892). He had been ailing for several days, but none of his friends apprehended serious results, believing that he was suffering from a slight attack of la grippe, contracted by exposure to the performance of his railroad duties. On Friday, however, pneumonic symptoms supervened and his friends realized that he was very sick and that the attack would result fatally. All that the skill of physicians and the tender care of a loving sister and friends could do for him was done, but every effort was unavailing and he peacefully passed away in the early morning of the 4th last.
Few men enjoyed greated esteem and friendship than the deceased. All who knew him appreciated and esteemed him on account of an amiability which was natural to him, while his courteous regard for others arose from sterling goodness of heart. Of a cheerful disposition and a spirit averse to hates, his frank and honest face was always pleasant to look upon. He was always at his post of duty and careful in his attention to business details, and he served his employers with fidelity and zeal. Honest and conscientious, earnest and industrious his life was one of labor. His was the work of a true life and the memories this plain, earnest man whom we honor leaves behind him memories pure as his stainless life. May we not hope that the gate, stood not only ajar, but swung wide open for the admission of his disembodied spirit into that "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
To his bereived sister and sorrowing friends we tender our heartfelt sympathy in their affliction."
