The deceased was born in Clarion Co., Pennsylvania, the 5th of November, 1815 and was the second daughter of James and Jane Fulton.

After their marriage they lived three years in her native county, then removed to Jefferson county, where they resided until the spring of 1855, when she with her husband and family, returned to Clarion county; and into the fall came to Birmingham in Van Barin county, Ia., where the family spent the winter; and removed to Wayne county the following spring arriving in Corydon the 27th of March, 1856.

At the early age of sixteen sister Thompson professed in all her earthly troubles she sought comfort in the word of God.
In her last sickness she suffered extreme pain much of trhe time which she bore with Christian patience and fortitude for several months.
She took great pleasure and comfort in conversations with her Christian friends about the Christian's experiences and prospect, confidently believing that that she should soon enter into "the rest that remains for the people of God."
And to having solemnly charged her children to live in the service of the Savior, that they may meet her in Heaven. She peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, leaving her aged companion, three sons and three daughters to mourn her absence; but not _as these that have no hope. "__" Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yes saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
