Princeton, Aug. 19—Mrs. Foy Thompson died suddenly at her home Monday morning. She had been seriously ill last week but was improving rapidly and soon in the morning was unusually bright and refreshed. About 10 o’clock Dr. Stevens was very much pleased at her improved condition. Suddenly at about 11:45 she died. She leaves a little baby boy about 10 days old. She was in the bloom of youth, and possibly had never known what it was to have a day’s sickness. She will be remembered by many as Miss Jessie Massey. Her death has cast a shadow of sorrow over the town and entire community.
Some of those who attended the funeral of Mrs. Thompson Tuesday evening were Mr. and Mrs. Granger Rhodes and Mrs. Parker from Mount Olive; Mr. and Mrs. Sam Toler, Mrs. D.J. Rhodes and Mr. Coleman from Rocky Mount; Mr. and Mrs. Will Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. L.M. Edgerton, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Whitley from Durham; Mr. Paul Eason, Mrs. Clifton Beasley, Mrs. Jennie Wallace from Smithfield; Mrs. P.H.
