In Memory of Rudie Thompson.
We, the people of South Thompson,
in order to express our appreciation of
friendship and love for the late broth
er, Mr. Rudie Thompson, who was re
cently laid to rest with the angels of
Paradise, we now endeavor to write
the following obituiry to his memory.
Mr. Rudie Thompson was born March
10th, 1844. He was reared to manhood
by his kind,faithful and loving parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Berry C. Thompson, and
they did everything in their power to
make their son’s life full of joy and
sunshine. His childhood desires were
very aspiring ones, but not as they
wouldhave been if the environments of
his age had permitted him the many
privileges and opportunities as they
do to-day. We must remember that
the disturbance between the two sec
tion of the union was at its highest
pitch, when Mr. Thompson became a
man, at the age of nineteen. Mr.
Thompson enlisted in the Confederate
army and served two years he was al
ways at his post ready for duty at any
time that he might be called, on to
give service. This service to the Con
federate army was faithful, show
ing his ambition to prove his love for
the cause which his army was engage.
At the close of the war he returned to
his father’s home, which he found in
ruin,and remained there until January
31st 1866, when Mr. Thompson was un
ited in marriage to Miss Mary Jane
McKay. *
He immediately became engaged in
business for himself, his chief occupa
tion was farming but he often ran a
timber business while he was waiting
for his harvest to mature. About the
age of twenty-five he joined the Metho
dist church and was a member of that
church five years, then for some cause
became inlist'd and joined the Mis
sionary Baptist church and remained
with same until his death. He was al
ways brave, hones;, in dealing with his
fellow men, atid above all was true to
himself. Mr. Thompson was the father
of nine children, which he had the
privilege of living with until they be
came to man and womanhood. Mr.
Thompson’s home for the last few
years has been in Toombs county,
Georgia, where he was loved and hon
ored by all who knew him. He has
left a record that the younger people
should be proud of and endeavor to
follow as a guide to worthy manhood.
On the morning of April 6th, 1911,he
was called by our heavenly Father to
give up his life work in this world and
join Him in the land ofparadise where
he could perform nobler duties. The
sad news of his death was sent to his
relatives and many friends which he
left to survive and mourn his loss. It
is sail for us to have to part with our
loved ones; but we must remember
that death is only a dream, for it is
like a shadow. It shall pass away into
lightness. So our loved one has only
passed over the river ot death and
joined the angles of heaven, where
life reigns forever and sorrow and
death never come He was laid to rest
in South Thompson cemetery where
mother earth closed his loving face
from our view until we join him iu the
realms of Paradise.
The following resolutions were
made: —
(1) —Be it resolved that the Baptists
of South Thompson, while we mourn
our own loss we bow in submission to
will of Him who do»th all things well,
and recognize the fact that our loss is
his eternal gain.
‘(2) —Beit further resolved that a
copy of this paper be given to the be
reaved family, also that one be spread
on the church record and one publish
ed in the church papers and The Ly
ons Progress.
Respectfully Submitted,
Committee.
A Mr. Purvis is the new manager of
the local telephone exchange and he
comes recommended very highly as a
telephone man. There is only one
I fault we can find with the management
lof the Southern Bell local telephone
| exchanges and that fault is that a
; manager of a local exchange has no ju
-1 risdiction over the operating depart
-1 ment. If a local manager had entire
| c mtrol of a local station it would mean
' better service and less trouble keeping
; managers. Our service, however, has
been very good lately and we have no
kick coming but we do hear kicks
from other exchanges.
