Funeral services for Mrs. Minnie Wylie Thompson, widow of Charles J. Thompson, who was stricken with apoplexy Sunday morning while attending Sunday school, will be held at her home 809 Worthington avenue, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. W.B. Lindsay will officiate. Interment will be in Elmwood cemetery.
Mrs. Thompson was attending a Sunday school session about noon Sunday at the First Associate Reformed Presbyterian church when she was stricken. She was rushed to the nearby home of Mr. Lindsay, the pastor, for medical aid. All efforts to restore her were in vain, and she died an hour later. She was apparently in good health when she left home Sunday morning. She brought some flowers from her home to place in the church, and remained throughout the service to attend the Sunday school, which followed. She suffered the stroke of apoplexy during the closing exercises of the Sunday school.
Mrs. Thompson moved from Charlotte with her husband from Knoxville, Tenn., about 14 years ago. She was born in Chester county, South Carolina, and married to Mr. Thompson in 1889. She was 54 years old. Her husband died here early in December of last year. She was an active member of the First A.R.P. church.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Mary Wylie, who lives at Ramseur with a son, and three sons, Ernest Thompson of Columbia, S.C.; Charles R. Thompson of Rocky Mount; and Paul E. Thompson of this city. Two brothers, J.S. Wylie of Ramseur and James Wylie of Charlotte, two sisters, Mrs. Mack Wilson of Gastonia, and Mrs. Etta Carothers of Fort Valley also survive.
