Thompson, Laura E: (d. 4-03-1899); Aged: 82 yrs; “At A Ripe Old Age.—At about 8 o’clock Monday evening, April 3, there passed away in this city a lady who has been an invalid and patient sufferer for many years. The deceased was Mrs Laura Thompson, and she died in her room at the Columbia hotel, surrounded in her last moments by a number of sorrowing relatives. Mrs Thompson had reached the ripe old age of eighty-two years at the time of her death. She was born in North Carolina, and crossed the plains with her husband and family in 1864, settling in Nevada, where she continued to reside until 1880, when the family removed to the territory of Washington. She joined the Baptist church at the age of sixteen, and continued a consistent member of that faith all her life. During her life time she raised a large family, and was always while possessing her faculties an active woman, a kind and sympathetic neighbor, and a devoted wife and mother. Her husband preceded her to the grave several years ago. For many years the deceased was an almost helpless invalid. For the past five years she had not been down stairs at the hotel, and for the past year or two had hardly left her room. During all these years of helplessness she had been tenderly nursed and cared for by her daughter, Mrs W W Griswold, whose beautiful devotion to a mother is worthy of the highest commendation. Mrs Thompson was prepared for death, and welcomed the end as a relief from long suffering, and as a change to a higher and better life. Her only ailment was breaking down from old age. The deceased leaves three sons, Samuel Thompson, of Montana, Richmond Thompson, of Utah, and John Thompson, of Nevada; and three daughters, Mrs C L Young of Cedar Canyon, Mrs Geo Bobier, of Newport, Idaho, and Mrs W W Griswold of this city. Also many grand children and great grandchildren. The funeral took place from the Columbia Hotel Tuesday, many friends of the family being present. The services were conducted by Revs Shields and Creel.” (LCT: 4-17-1899)
