William Sheldon Thompson's Death Certificate shows parents name's as Chancy G Thompson and Sarah Mitilda (Not Known). Both born in Illinois. Obit: Corrections made within the [ ] 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. | Thompson, Chauncy Gridley (I28)

| 1498 | Obit: Kenneth Thompson Takes Own Life Kenneth I. Thompson, 26, was believed to have committed suicide at his farm home four miles north and two miles east of Goodland sometime Friday night or Saturday morning. Mr. Thompson early Friday afternoon told his wife, who is caring for the children at the home of her parents in Goodland because of illness, he would be back in Goodland Sunday noon. When he failed to return, Mrs. Thompson, accompanied by her father, Charles Adams, went to the farm home and found the body. They notified sheriff John Toelkes on their return to Goodland. The suicide was attributed to despondency over sickness in the family as well as Mr. Thompson's own ill health. As far as could be determined, Mr. Thompson shot himself sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Thompson was born Sept, 20, 1924, in Sherman county. In former years, he was quite active in county 4-H work. He was married to Phyllis Adams in 1942 and to this union three daughters, Linda Kay, Karen Sue, and Janet Alliene, were born. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Thompson of Edson; one brother, Harold, Olathe; and one sister, Mrs. Helen Owens, Edson. Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Christian church with the Rev. William Cook and the Rev. E.W. Burton officiating. Arrangements are being made by the Sage Funeral Home. Burial will be in the Goodland cemetery. Pallbearers for the funeral will be O.H. Andrew, Melvin Borgman, George Spomer, Lester Watkins, Warren Owens, and Jack Austin. Ken's Mother Julia said that her son did not commit suicide. Ken was murdered and it was made to look like he commited suicide. | Thompson, Kenneth Ivan (I70)
