JOHN W. THOMAS
Died-At Excelsior Springs, Mo., Wednesday morning, August 6, 1902, John
W. THOMAS, of Home City. He was born in Llanon, Carmarthanshire, South
Wales, May29, 1845, and came with his parents to America in the year
1853. They settled in Wisconsin where John grew to manhood. October 12,
1864, he enlisted in the 12th Wisconsin infantry and marched with
Sherman
to the sea. He was married Dec. 11, 1867, to Mary E. DAVIS, and they
moved to Livingston county, Mo., and thence, in March 1880, to a farm
north of Home City. Later he sold his farm and engaged in the grain,
implenient and stock business in Home, where he established a
reputation
for honesty and fair dealing of which any man might be proud. He leaves
his faithful, loving wife: Mary M., the wife of Wm. THOMAS of
Centralia,
Sarah M., wife of Dr. PATTERSON; Daniel S., and Etta, wife of Charles
KIRKWOOD, and Arthur, Benjamin, Mamie and Florence, single, at home.
The funeral services will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. D.A. LEEPER
at
the M.E. church, at Home City, at 2 p.m., Friday, August 8, 1902.
Burial
at Fairview cemetery.
Few men in Marshall county were better known or had a wider circle of
friends. John THOMAS was a consistent member of the Methodist church.
He
was a loyal member in Lyon Post, G.A.R., at Marysville. He was an Odd
Follow and carried policies of insurance in the Workmen and Knights and
Ladies of Security. He was liberal in his deeds of charity, and in his
support of church services. He was, when in health, active in Sunday
school work and in temperance work. He took a broad view of life, he
tried to live right and wanted to see his neighbors doing so. He tried
to
make the world better. He looked on the bright side and was generally
cheerful. For some years Mr. Thomas has suffered intensely from
rheumatism. This summer he has been growing worse, and lately dropsy
set
in. Last week he was here with his brother Asa. Friday night he went up
home, and when he got there he at once determined to go to Excelsior
Springs on the next train. Dr. PATERSON and his son, Arthur THOMAS,
went
with him, and Saturday Asa went down. Tuesday his wife also went down.
All did no good. The end came at 2 o'clock a.m., Wednesday morning. All
was peaceful at the close.
The people of Home have lost their best neighbor and friend and
Marshall
county one of her best citizens.
