Elisabeth Sfmpsen Elizabeth Thompson was born in Yorkshire, England, Aug. 2;">, 1844, and died at her home near Ringwood Dec. 12, 1!>14 aged a little more than sev­ enty years. She was the daughter of Robert and Mary Thompson and came with her parents to Illinois when less than one year of age. They settled on the a farm in Greenwood township'. Here she remained until her marriage to Henry Simpson Nov. 4, 18ti8, when she came to reside on the farm near Ring- wood, which has been her home ever since. Her long i I lness she has patiently borne, and has been tenderly cared for by those near and dear to her and has had the sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends. She was a de­ voted believer in the Universalist faith and lived it in her daily life. She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star of McHenry; also a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union as long as she was -able to at­ tend the meetings. She was always ready to answer a call in tyne of sick­ ness or sorrow and many sad hearts have been cheered by her kindly min­ istrations, and all deeply feel the loss "of this good woman and extend their sympathy to the sorrowing family. She leaves to mourn her loss one daughter, Mrs. Grace McCannon, one sister, Mrs. Jane A. Carr of Greenwood, and four brothers, Charles of Greenwood, John of Lansing, Minn., Thomas and Rich­ ard of Nunda township, besides other numerous friends. The funeral was held in the home Monday afternoon, Rev. Collins of Elizabeth, 111., ofiiciai- ing. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly of Mc­ Henry sang. The Eastern Star of Alu- Henry gave their service, which was very impressive. The flowers were many and beautiful from relatives and friends and from the Eastern Star. With sad hearts she was tenderly laid to rest beside her husband in the West cemetery, who preceded fier to the bet­ ter land nineteen years ago and was waiting to welcome her there, where no farewell tears are shed.
