Mrs. V. G. Thompson

Mrs. V. G. Thompson, resident of Inyo since 1872, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. W. Webb, 
at Big Pine Tuesday.

Mrs. Thompson was born in Buckfield, Maine, May 15, 1832, and lived in her native State until after 
her marriage.  Mr. Thompson preceded her to California, and in 1866 she rejoined him in Havilah, 
Kern county.  They moved to Independence in 1872, and became managers of the well known old Blaney 
House.  Every old-time resident of the county will recall the genial Mr. Thompson and his refined 
and ever pleasant lady, and their cordial kindnesses and unfailing courtesies, and will bestow more 
than passing thought on their memories.

Since her husband's death Mrs. Thompson's home has been with Mr. and Mrs. Webb.  Mrs. Ivan W. Bunney 
is also their daughter.

The funeral occurs at Independence this afternoon
