• Notes

  Death of John Thompson. Another of the old residents of Woolwich passed away on Wednesday of last week in the person of John Thompson, who as long as the writer can remember has lived on the farm about 3 miles west of Elmira. Deceased was born in Ireland and came to this country at the age of 19 to hew out for himself a home in the then wilderness of Canada. He lived at Bridgeport a while then came to Woolwich. He raised up a large family of children, eight of whom survive him, viz: Mrs. Wm. Stewart, now living in Minnesota; Mrs. Hochstetter (Hannah, for many years teacher in Elmira School) of Wellesley Township; Mrs. W. J. Mulloy of Peel; Mrs. Henry Staebing (Jessie, a teacher in Berlin for some years, now living on or near Manitoulin Island); Miss Lizzie at the old home; James, of Guelph, Robert of Niagara; and Thomas, living in the Canadian Northwest. Deceased was a strong Reformer in politics and waxed warm over many a political speech or argument. His aged partner pre-deceased him about 2 ½ years ago. He reached the age of 80 years 2 months and 26 days. The funeral, on Saturday was attended by a large number of neighbors and friends. Elmira Advertizer 2 Apr 1902
