Mrs. Thompson gave her heart and her life to the service of her Lord in childhood. She joined Canaan Methodist Church, in which she was very active. She taught the Adult Bible Class for many years and gave up the class as teacher only five years before her passing because of physical weakness. The virtues of the Christian character found distinct expression in her every-day life. She was industrious, patient and gentle. In her relation to others, thoughtful, unselfish and generous, ever a kind neighbor and faithful friend. Her life was like a good book whose pages it is sweet to read from the beginning to end.
