Thompson, Victoria #3 (MAR 1885 - 11 FEB 1961)

 

Mrs. Theodore Thompson, nee Victoria Sampson, succumbed to a lingering illness of acute leukemia at her home in the Village of Curtiss (Clark Co., Wis.), at 4:40 p.m. Saturday.

 

Funeral services were held at 2:00 o’clock Tuesday from the Curtiss Evangelical Lutheran Church with the Rev. Donald Olson officiating.  Burial was made in the parish cemetery.  Serving as pallbearers were John Lokken, Alfred Erickson, Franklin Thieme, Willard Geary, Albert Bakke and Harold House.

 

The deceased was born March?, 1885, at Menomonie, Wis., being 75 years of age at the time of her death.  On June 12, 1917, she and her husband, the late Theodore Thompson were united in marriage in a ceremony performed at Menomonie.  Shortly after their marriage the couple came to the Town of Hoard where they successfully farmed until their retirement in 1949 when they made their home in Curtiss.  During these 11 years and during the time she lived on the farm, she was active in church and community affairs.

 

Her passing is mourned by two daughters, Mrs. Harold  (Ruth) Frank, Sierra Vista, Ariz., and Mrs. Clarence (Mary) Nelson, Abbotsford; three sisters, Mrs. Carrie Ove, and Mattie Sampson, Curtiss, and Mrs. Minnie Poetow, Vancouver, Wash., and a brother, August Sampson, Winchester, Wis.
