OBITUARY 5-17-1911 
Post #86 Haller City (Arlington)

William H. THACKER, fourth child of Stephen and Esther (McKINNEY) THACKER, was born
in Goshen, OH, July 15, 1836. When he was three years of age his parents moved to 
Des Plaines, ILL, now a suburb of Chicago. He was educated at Lake Zurich academy.
He then taught school for some years. 

At the beginning of the Civil war, he enlisted in Co. G 71st ILL Infantry, and 
served until the close of the conflict. Sept. 21, 1865, he was married to Miss 
Melinda SMITH in Mason Co.,ILL. Of this union were born seven children, two dying 
in infancy, and five living - Mrs. A.J. BAKER of Preston, Wa, Charles A. of Friday 
Harbor, George S. of Preston, and Misses Beulah and Ella of this place. He also 
leaves three brothers - George W. THACKER of Glenwood, MN, Capt. B.H. THACKER of 
Beardstown, ILL, and J.M. THACKER of Chicago. Mrs. THACKER preceded her husband on 
the long journey passing away May 17, 1911. 

Many years ago he took up the profession of law, which he practiced in ILL, Ks, ID 
and Washington, where he has served as Judge of the probate court, county attorney 
of San Juan Co. for six years, and was a member of the state legislature three 
terms. In the passing of Judge THACKER, Arlington loses one of its most respected 
and cultured citizens, though it was our misfortune that when he came among us he 
had retired from public life. 

Mr. THACKER was a man of ability, education and refinement. He had a fine library 
and was a diligent reader and student; an orator of more than mediocre ability and 
a finished writer both in prose and meter composition. He was a gentleman in the 
truest sense of the word and as a husband and father lived up to the highest 
ideals of the American home. 

A large concourse attended the funeral of Judge W.H. THACKER held at the opera 
house last Sunday at 2 o’clock. The Odd fellows and Rebekahs, over sixty strong, 
accompanied the remains from the house to the hall, the services being under the 
auspices of the former order; also the following comrades of the Civil war: B.H. 
House, D.S. Baker, G.D. Wallace, S. Johnson, G.F. Earnheart, J.W. Morris and Ben 
Carrel. The bier, as it rested before the audience during the services, was 
embowered in beautiful floral pieces, touchingly evidencing the high esteem in 
which deceased was held. Interment occurred at Harwood cemetery where the Odd 
Fellows’s ceremony was carried out in an impressive manner. The pallbearers were 
Will H. Verd, Geo. Hovey, Thos. Blake, C.H. Jones, Wm. Quackenbush and C.L. Marsh. 
A large number of friends accompanied the remains to the grave, standing in sorrow 
and respect as they were lowered in their evergreen-lined last resting place.

Hans Thompson was found dead this moring in a room over the Viaduct saloon on 
Hewitt ave. near Broadway, lying on his bed in the room he rented late yesterday 
afternoon after playing a game or two of cards with friends in the saloon 
downstairs. The discovery was made by an attendant who knocked at the door of the 
little room in order to make up the bed. No response to repeated raps on the panel 
resulted in an investigation that lead to finding Thompson lying stark, evidently 
dead some hours. Deputy Coroner Challacombe was at once summoned to examine into 
the case. The official says he is of the opinion that death resulted from heart 
disorder, but has sent for Coroner Munn, who will in all probabilty hold an 
autopsy. 

Hans Thompson, who was between 35 and 40 years of age, and who is said to have a 
brother employed in the Sumner Iron works, was last employed by a German rancher on 
the river between Union and Steamboat sloughs. Formerly he had been engaged in 
diking, and still earlier had been working at the smelter. The dead man does not 
appear to be will known to the viaduct saloon, an employee stating that Thompson had 
rented his room late yeaterday afternoon, and apparently had been drinking. In his 
room were found four bottles of certain brand of beer, showing that he had made a 
pilgrimage to another saloon, for this brew of beer is not sold at the Viaduct. Day 
Jailor Mellison, who saw the body, states that Thompson was a large man of fine 
appearance, further stating that he closely resembled one of several men who called 
at police headquarters Sunday in quest of a stolen watch.

J. W. Thursting died at the hospital Tuesday afternoon, He had been in ill health 
for several years, with tuberculosis of the liver. An operation was performed 
Sunday by Dr. Case, with hope of relief, but the disease had gotten such a hold 
that no help could be realized. Mr. Thursting was born in New York 57 years ago. 
He came to Snohomish in 1886 with his famiy and has resided here since, being in 
the logging business most of the time. About a year ago he went to Alaska and the

Thursday afternoon, Rev. Dorrance officiating, and the body was laid to rest at

Albian S. Towle died at Skagway, Alaska, Thursday, March 31, and was buried from 
the Congregational church in this city, Monday, April 11th, Rev. Winechester 
officiating, and the orders of Foresters, A.O.U.W. and degree of honor assisting 
in the ceremony. 

Mr. Towle was born in Venzie, Maine about thirty-five years ago, and married Miss 
Ella Burke at that place in the early 80'[s. In 1890 the couple moved to Snohomish, 
and have lived here ever since, with the exception of a few months last year, which 
was spent at Whatcom, where Mr. Towle was in the shingle business. Last year when 
the gold excitement struck this section, Mr. Towle wanted to go in but did not get 
away until last January. He went to Skagway and in February sent for his wife. They 
then started over the pass for Lake Bennet, where they opened a log cabin hotel, and 
were doing well financially, until early in the morning of March 24th, Mr. Towle was 
suddenly taken very sick with puenmonia, and in less than an hour was delirous, 
never again wholly recoving consciouness. 

The folling Sunday morning Mrs. Towle secured a sled and dog team, and with the 
assistance of one man, started with her husband for medical aid at Skagway. She 
walked bside the sled, watching over him and keeping his face and hands from 
freezing, while passing through the fearful cold part of the journey at the summit.
They arrived in Skagway at nine o'clock at night and Mr. Towle was placed in the 
hospital. During the entire trip from morning till night walking thirty-seven 
miles, Mrs. Towle did not take a particle of nourshment, and this with her 
anxiety for her husband and the fathigue of the long hard climb, was too much for 
her, and after she had secured his comfort, she completely collasped, and was 
herself prostrate until after arring in Snohomish. The Snohomish boys at Skagway
immediately came to her service, and everything possible was done for Mr. Towle, 
but on the following Thursday he succumbed to the disease. 

The body was brought back to Seattle on the first steamer, and Messrs. M.J. Bird and 
James Sipprell accompanied the beraved widow and her dead through from the north and 
take the body was laid to rest in Woodlwan cemetery. Mrs. Towle and the bereaved 
relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.

Dr. TOWNDROW, who passed away at the Everett hospital yesterday, was for the last 
fifteen years a resident of Snohomish. During the first ten year of his stay here 
he practiced medicine, but the wieight of years caused him at last to abandon a 
profession which he had followed from boyhood to ripe old age. 

Dr. TOWNDROW was born in England eighty years ago, so he was one of the oldest of 
the many old men of this community. His early youth was spent in the mother 
country but the first years of budding manhood found him on a United States 
man-of-war filling the position of hospital steward. When the civil war broke out 
he was among the men who enlisted to fight for the union of his adopted country. 
In 1862 he went to the front with Ninth Minnesota Infantry and was mustered out 
after fourteen months service. Later he organized a company and again went to the 
front as a surgeon in the regiment to which this comany was assigned. 

After the war Dr. TOWNDROW practiced medicine for a number of years in San 
Francisco from which city he came here in 1888. He was an honorary member of the 
local G.A.R. post and it will be under the solemn service of that organization 
that he will be laid to rest in G.A.R. cemetery at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
