Obituary for Susan B. Thomasson (1825-1896)
Uncited clipping.
From the papers of Mary Omahundro Hutt Walker

Mrs Susan B. THOMASSON died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jesse CRUME, near Elsberry Tuesday morning, Nov. 24th at 8 o'clock a.m. She had been a sufferer for about two years, but her last illness was of short duration as she was taken ill very suddenly last Sunday.
Mrs.THOMASSON was born near Old Alexandria in April 1825 and was 71 years and 7 months old. As she continuously lived in this county, it has in her death lost one of it's landmarks. She became a member of the Christian Church at Burroak under the pastorate of Jack Gentry, about 30 years ago and continued to be constant, conscientious and consistant member of that denomination until death called her to try the realities of another world. To use the words of Eld. T. A. Abbott, who conducted the funeral service at the Baptist Church in this city Wednesday at 11 a.m., "She had finished her life work, had lived her alotted three score and ten and was ready to enter realms above."
Her husband, Mon THOMASSON and one son, GUS, who was one of Winfield's first businessmen, being a member of the DePue Thomasson & Co., have preceeded her to her grave. Two sons, Albert W. of this place and James of St. Louis, and four daughters, Mrs. Jesse CRUME of Elsberry, Mrs. Bluff THORNHILL of Troy, Mrs. Henry MUTH and MRS. Richard TURNBULL of this place, quite a number of grand children, and numerous other relatives and friends are left to mourn her sad demise: Our sympathy is extended to the bereaved.

[Transcriber's Notes:

date on obit. handwritten..1896 I believe Winfield had a newspaper could possibly from that paper. nothing to document it -j.g.


I find Charles M.( I believe this to be :Monroe ) Thomasson husband of Susan A. Thomasson in the Winfield City Cem.  Died Feb. 5, 1886 aged 61 years 10 months & 19 days


Also a Chas. M. Thomasson -- Dec. 17, 1853 Apr. 21, 1890 but no stone for Susan A. Thomasson. I do believe she would be buried at Winfeld. Their son Gus was a dentist in Winfield -j.g.]
