Death of Mr. George R. Thompson
On Saturday night Mr. George Richard Thompson whose illness was noticed in Saturday's Star, died at his residence, No. 473 Maryland avenue. Mr. Thompson had been ill several weeks. He was a native of this city, a son of the late Wm. Thompson, for many years a foreman in the Washington Arsenal. He received his education in the public schools of this city, and was one of the bright boys in the fourth district grammar school -- Mr. J.E. Thompson principal. When quite a young man he entered the hardware store of Mr. J.R. Elvans as a clerk, and was subsequently a partner. About fifteen years ago the firm was dissolved, and Mr. Thompson started (firm of Thompson & Co., at the corner of 10th and B streets) the business of coachmaker' and wheelwrights' supplies, with a general hardware business, which has been quite successful. Mr. Thompson was also an active building association man, having been connected with several as secretary, and was one of our most upright and energetic citizens possessed of many traits of character which endeared him to a large circle of friends. He was a bright Mason holding his membership in Dawson Lodge, No. 16; Washington Chapter, No. 2, and Columbia Commandery of Knights Templare. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock.
