Obituary for Chaucey G. Thomas [Chauncey Gridley Thompson] was born February 6, 1832, in Indiana. Moved in early boyhood, with his parents, to Shelby County, Illinois. Later, moved to Missouri, about 1856, with his first wife Sarah Robson [Sarah Matilda Robertson], to whom he was married in Illinois. To them were born five children. The first wife died in November, 1864. November 11, 1869, he was married to Mary Garland, in Mercer County, Missouri. There were born to them seven children. The wife died February 8, 1909.
In 1885 he moved to Norton County, Kansas, and in 1886, to Thomas County, where the homestead was taken and the home was until fall, of 1905, when returned to Norton County and bought property in Oronoque, resided until death March 2, 1915; aged 83 years and 26 days. He leaves two sons and six daughters, with grandchildren and other more distant relatives, to mourn his death. His was a blameless life. He never spoke an unkind word about anyone. His honesty and integrity, was unquestioned by all who knew him.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. E. Huff, of Oronoque, and notwithstanding a blinding snow storm, the house was crowded with friends and relatives.

Funeral Postponed – The C. G. Thompson funeral at Oronoque will be held tomorrow, if trains run on time. Relatives from the east could not arrive today.

Will Garland, of The Telegram, will always hold the memory of Mr. Thompson in reverence and respect. When we were a lad, seven years of age, our mother died and our father moved from Missouri to Kansas. “Uncle Chauncey” prevailed upon him to let us make our home with them in Thomas County, which we did for the greater part of a year. No child of his own ever received more kindly attention or more favors than were accorded us during that period. The news of his death came to us unexpectedly, in fact, only a few days before, we had met him in Oronoque and while on account of his advanced age, he was not as strong as he was in the pioneer days; he then seemed to be a strong man of that age. He was a clean man in everyway. A man whom memory will be long remembered after death, by all those who know him.

There are some upcoming events that we want to remind you of, and I want to mention that I didn?t announce the Thompson reunion, last week, due to the death of Marjorie's son, Dennis Thompson. But, as Marge says, he would have wanted the plans to go on, so there will be a Thompson reunion, in Brewster, on August 1, 2 and 3. The meeting place will be the home of Marjorie Westover, 669 Illinois Ave., in Brewster, phone (785)694-2837. This reunion is for descendants of Chauncey Gridley Thompson. If you are included in this family, I am sure you know all the details. Marge tried to explain to me how the family tree grew, but with a maiden name like Smith, I get tangled up in the branches. Anyway, it sounds like a fun weekend for all the relatives from the special gathering at 10 a.m. on Aug. 2 until the last family story is shared. I will send the particulars to the newspapers later this week to be sure to plan to attend this reunion.
