  Obituary
  Last Friday night at 12:00 the death of Tipton Thompson occurred at the home of his son, J. W. Thompson, some three miles northwest of town. The funeral was conducted Saturday at 4:00 PM by Elder C. E. Moore at the Mills Cemetery where interment was made. Mr. Thompson was born in Logansport, Indiana, September 22, 1831. This is where he grew to manhood. In 1851 he moved to California; remaining there several years. He was married on April 5, 1858 to Evaline Coon, in whom he found a faithful, loving and devoted companion for 50 years and one week. In 1879 the Tipton Thompson Family came to Texas remaining until Tipton's death, April 10, 1908. Mr. Thompson was an industrious and honorable man with high ideals of life and hence he made many friends because he was a friend to many. He became a Christian in 1856 and at no time did he shrink from following faithfully in his Master's Service and was rewarded with a happy, peaceful life. Tipton and Evaline were blessed with seven children, and a number of grandchildren, who live to mourn his departure. Thus a happy family is separated. This is the lot of man in this world, "The ages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." May he have attained the biblical ideal in his going. We extend the family our sincere sympathy.

  Thompson, Tipton and Evaline The child in front is obviously a girl but Tipton and Evaline had 5 daughters and then 3 sons. Unless this little girl is older than the boy on the right, I can't guess who these others are.

  Evaline Coon, b. September 04, 1841, in Indiana, m. Tipton Thompson, b. 1832 in Logansport, Cass Co., Indiana. Evaline and her family moved from Indiana to California in the 1840's where she met Tipton Thompson. They married in Hillsburg, California and in 1870 moved to Elkton, Missouri.

They made their home in Mesquite, Texas, also a suburb of Dallas, Texas. If anyone has information, please send it to my email address. [thompson1234 @ home.com] (Research):Marion Township Church History (Owen Co, IN) Located in the southwest corner of the township, it is an offshoot from the Jefferson Church at Coal City and dates its history from the year 1870. It was organized by Rev. W.L. Bicknell, with a membership of twenty persons. A frame house of worship was erected a short time after the organization on land belonging to Tipton Thompson and cost the sum of $700. The present church membership is about forty. Is this our Tipton? Probably not.
