MRS. D.H. THOMPSON.
Corneilia Elizabeth MERRIMAN was born at Chazy, Clinton county, New York, May 29th, 1831, and came with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Roswell MERRIMAN, to Jonesville in 1839 and to Reading township in 1840.
In 1852 she was united in marriage to Darwin H. THOMPSON. They resided in North Reading a few years and also in Camden township, moving to Reading village where the husband died in 1882. Reading village had been the home of Mrs. THOMPSON, until a short time ago when she was moved to Hillsdale and a few days prior to her death she was taken to the county house.
Out of a large family of children only Mrs. Mary S. MERRIMAN, of Hillsdale, survives. Ray S. THOMPSON, now of Las Vegas, New Mexico, is the only child. There are also six grandchildren, the eldest being 14 years of age.
Mrs. THOMPSON was united with the F.B. church in North Reading several years ago. Funeral services were held at the F.B. church here Monday afternoon and burial was in Maplewood.
