Postville Review
Postville, Allamakee co. Iowa
February 10, 1899
Died.
THOMPSON -- At his home in Waukon, Iowa, February 2, 1899,
William C. Thompson, aged 82 years, 2 months and 28 days. Mr.
Thompson was born in Buffalo, N.Y., November 4th, 1816. Here he
remained till about 19 years of age when he came west to Quincy,
Ill., and afterwards located at Monroe, Green county, Wis., where
he married Mrs. Sophrona (Reynolds) Thompson in May, 1849. In
that year he came to this county and selected a home to which he
shortly moved his family, and for nearly fifty years Allamakee
county was his home. To Mr. and Mrs. Thompson four children were
born, Samuel R. of Waukon, Andrew M., of Mason City, Ida J., a
member of the corps of teachers of the Waukon school and Mrs.
Francis C. Barnard of Springview, Neb., who, withthe devoted and
invalid wife are left to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Sunday at 2
o'clock p.m. services conducted by Rev. R.L. Vannice, and the
remains were laid to rest in Oakland cemetery. His parents were
presbyterians and he was baptized in that church in infancy, and
made a profession of faith in Christ in early manhood, but did
not connect himself with any church in the west.
Two of the children, Andrew M. and Mrs. Barnard, were not able to
be present, but Andrew came on the first train possible after
receiving the news of his father's death, arriving Monday
morning.
The pall bearers were neighbors and friends, "pioneers"
like himself, or who have most of their lives lived in this
county, Messrs. M.W. Eaton, J.H. McGhee, Dr. A.T. Stillman, John
J. Gilchrist, T.C. Hall and H.J. Bentley.
Mr. Thompson has been a prominent and influential resident and an
important factor in its development and prosperity.
Died.
Michael Garvey, formerly well known here, died at his home at
Carrington, N.D., last week. He was a relative of the Sheehys.
Jas. Horgan and his mother went up to attend the funeral. The
friends have our sympathy. The Carrington Record has the
following to say of Mr. Garvey's sickness and death:
Last week, shortly after M. Garvey was reported as improving, he
took a change for the worse, and on Saturday it was thought best
to amputate his injured limb close to the hip, as the bones
entering the formation of the knee joint had become deseased.
Drs. Crawford and MacLachian, of New Rockford, and HOward, of
this place, had been summoned and the operation was performed
that night. For a day or two it was thought that Mr. Garvey's
condition was improving and that there was some hope of his
recovery -- then came the sad tidings that he was gradually
sinking and suffering intensely, and on Thursday evening shortly
before 7 o'clock he passed away.
The deceased leaves a wife, Monica and baby daughter, Mary, and
five sisters, Mrs. Price Morris and Mrs. Jos. Sheehy, who reside
here, and three other sisters who live in the east. To them no
words of sympathy can be said except that their God was his God
and that He doesth all things well.
Of Michael Garvey himself we can say that as a personal friend or
as a public citizen we never knew him to be otherwise than true
and kind, and imbued with that vein of good fellowship that made
him the good comrade that he was at any and all times. All who
knew him will mourn the loss of a good man and citizen. Funeral
services will be held Monday, Feb. 6th, at 11 a.m., at which high
mass will be sung.
Leaves Us.
We regret to learn that C.C. Weber has made arrangements to
leaves us and go to McGregor, where he has purchased the
furniture business of A.L. Meier. He will take possession about
the 1st of next month. While we regret to lose him and his wife
from among us we hope it will be advanteous to him, and that
success may crown his labors in the pocket city. We are not
advised as to who will succeed him in the Postville clothing
house, nor as to what Mr. Meier will do.
