THOMPSON, Moses Obituary

In Stevenson county Illinois, on the 28th of June, at the residence of his son-in-law, J. Hunter, Mr. Moses Thompson, aged 73 years 4 months and 15 days, formerly a citizen of Morris township, Clearfield county. His sickness and death was occasioned, it is believed, by over exertion of travelling on foot through cold rain, change of climate &c.

The deceased had been a member of the Baptist Church for over 20 years. He died with that hope that buoys up the soul in death which reaches beyond this world of pain, sorrow and disappointment. He talked more or less every day he was with us dying--the first remark he made after he arrived on the 19th day of June was, "I have come out here to die with you." He had bought a farm prior to his taking ill. (Communicated.) [Clearfield Republican, (Clearfield, Pa.), August 2, 1854]
