THOMPSON.--Edith A. Thompson, wife of Rev. F. C. Thompson, of the Genesee Conference, died at their home in Groveland, Mass., March 11, 1886. Sister Thompson was born September 15, 1855. She was converted in 1870 under the labors of Rev. Paul Smith, in a meeting of great spiritual power held on the Rutland Charge. She soon after united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and from that time until the call came for her to go up and possess the mansion above, she was ever true and faithful in the work of the Master. Her maiden name was Walters. She was the daughter of John and Margaret Walters. Her parents were ever Methodists of a reliable quality, and her home influences doubtless had much to do in preparing her for the work into which the Master called her. She was married with Rev. F. C. Thompson April 17, 1883, while he was pastor of the church at Nelson. She was educated at the Mansfield Normal School, and previous to her marriage she was employed in teaching. But during this time she never was so engaged in other employment as not to find time to work for the upbuilding of the Kingdom of Christ. She was Superintendent of the Sunday School at Nelson, taught a large class at Rush, New York, and also at Groveland, Mass. She possessed great power in winning the affections of children, and ever held a commanding influence over them. She was modest and retiring in her experience, and yet she moved graciously and without any embarrassment when in the most cultured and refined society. After she became the wife of a Methodist preacher she was ever employed in preparing herself for the work before her. While her husband was attending Boston Theological Seminary she was storing her mind with useful knowledge by a wide course of reading. She was always in her place in the social meetings of the church and did her duty in bearing the cross of Christ. Her last illness was a very brief one; she was taken sick on Friday and passed away the following Thursday. The last three hours of her life she prayed unceasingly while she was traveling up the path which she called the way of truth and righteousness. How strange to us are the providences of God; "His paths are in the deep and His ways past finding out."
Her funeral was held at the home of her parents in Rutland, and her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Mansfield, Pa. She leaves a husband, her parents, two brothers and two sisters, besides a large circle of frineds. Our afflicted brother has the prayers and sympathy of the church while passing through this sorrowful ordeal.
