I remember the time of his death as follows: Grandpa was very ill for many months before he died. A few weeks before his death he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The Saturday before he died on Monday, he had went to a local park and attended a Thompson family reunion. He had the chance to see some of his family that he hadn't seen in Months or Years!
The afternoon that he died he went to his bedroom to take a nap while grandma went to the kitchen to fix them something to eat. She heard a loud noise and thought he had fallen. She went to see if he was hurt and found him lying on the floor and not breathing. She called for the ambulance and he was taken to the hospital. He was pronounced dead upon his arrival at the Northwest Health Center.
Crawford Herman "CH" Thompson was buried 22 May 1997 Friendship Cemetery, Springdale, Washington, Arkansas, aged 70.
Crawford Herman "CH" Thompson appeared on the 1930 Federal Census Madison County, Arkansas in the household of his parents, Vernon "Vern" Thompson and Venna Elizabeth Stansell.

His son Jimmie Roy "Jim" Thompson was born on 12 April 1953 at Springdale, Washington, Arkansas.
This photo is of the Vern Thompson Family. I don't know who many of the people are except that they are probably relatives.

The little boy in front in the white shorts with his hand near his face is James Daniel Thompson
The rest are unknown to me at this time except that I am pretty sure that they are relatives of Vern Thompson
Since Dad was born in 1948 and he appears to be 3-4 years old, the photo must have been taken about 1951-1952

He was a pretty little dog that I remember fondly. He would come and sit on my lap and I would pet him when we visited my grandparents.

Grandma and Grandpa at family holiday dinner
In the 1980s, Grandpa and Grandma wanted the family to go to the cemeteries with them on Memorial Day weekend so that all of us could see where the family was buried.
We loaded up in our cars and hit the road. We went to Friendship Cemetery in Springdale, Washington, Arkansas and to several cemeteries in Madison county, Arkansas.
Along the way, we stopped a few times. We had a picnic lunch at one of the roadside picnic areas along the roadside. This photo was snapped during one of those stops.

CH Folks at Kingston
Grandpa Thompson retired from RTW in the late 1990s when he became too ill to work anymore.
The company gave him a retirement party. He had a cake and they gave him a hat on which the employees had attached money to wish him luck in his retirement.
He had enjoyed the men that he worked with and often talked about the funny stories that each of them would tell while they were working. I think that he missed the company of these men when he retired.
