Mrs. Rosa Thompson, age 65 years, four months and 22 days, passed away at her home on Upper Tygart Sunday December 30, 1934, after an injury received on the Midland Trail on December 20, when an automobile collided with a wagon on which she was riding, and tore the flesh from her heel. Blood poison set up and the suffering was so great that she was attacked by lockjaw on Sunday before her death. She was injured near the home of Rufus Evans, and although all that loving hands could do was done, still death came in its way and took her home to meet her husband, who had gone on.

She had been a member of the Christian Church for forty-two years, and lived her religion with neighbors and all with whom she came in contact, and when the end was near and she realized it , she told them she feared not the meeting of her Maker but prayed for the time to come that she could be relieved of the suffering and gone on.

She was a devoted mother and loved her children, leaving the message to them all to meet her in a better world.

The funeral services were conducted at the home on Tuesday, January 1, by Rev. Mave Reeder, a neighbor, after which the body was taken to the Masters Cemetery and laid to rest by the side of her husband and other relatives and friends who had gone on before her. A large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends gathered to pay their last respects.

She leaves to mourn her passing, besides a host of relatives and friends, the folowing children; Perry, John and Fred Thompson, all of Upper Tygart, Kentucky and Mrs Virgil Solar of Muncie, Indiana.
