Thompson, Lewis (1796 - 1873)

Died, at his home in the town of Sherman, Clark County, Sunday morning, April 27, 1873, of diabetes, Lewis Thompson, aged 66 years, 4 months and 6 days.

Mr. Thompson was a native of Addison County, Vermont. He had been a resident of this county for several years. About four years since he received a paralytic stroke which seriously impaired his speech and his usefulness. He patiently bore his sufferings until death relived him of all earthly cares. He leaves an afflicted widow, and two or three sorrowing children, who are all married. The deceased was a member in good standing of the Neillsville Lodge A.F. A.M., and his remains were interred in our village cemetery last Tuesday with Masonic honors.
