son of Thomas Drayton Thompson (4 Sep 1880 - 24 Feb 1919)(Tanner's Creek, Norfolk - flu, likely Spanish Influenza)

There was a sister, Minnie Etta Thompson (27 Sep 1907 - 9 Oct 1989) who married Thomas Raymond Sowers (14 Apr 1906 - 9 Apr 1992), and they lived at Harbinger. There were two other brothers: Clarence Thompson (30 Nov 1909 - 12 Nov 1974) and Julian Clark Thompson (28 May 1912 - 1 Oct 1996). These Thompson children were orphaned, and their grandfather, Edmond Thompson, kept them as long as he was able, then they were sent to the Oddfellows Orphanage in Goldsboro. Minnie was able to get enough college to qualify as a schoolteacher, and the boys went into the military. Winton joined the French Foreign Legion and lived in North Africa for a number of years, and he told delightful stories of how to cook an elephant hoof!

This is FYI. Please feel free to share it with anyone who you think might be interested or otherwise remembers Kizzie Thompson.

Orphan stories are always sad, so let's hope that Kizzie had a good life. A lot of unfortunate losses happened to her in her childhood, then her great grandmother died in late 1956, and she married at 15 the next spring, possibly because she needed a place to live.

Best Regards, Roy

She was also an instrumental leader in the Ambos Foundation, which provides educational and nutritional help in Honduras. Susan’s life was marked by determination.

Her life can be summed up by the words of a former church member: “She was one of the most wonderfully kind and thoughtful people I have ever met. I looked forward to her sermons at North Raleigh and can never thank her enough for presiding over my Nana’s funeral and my wedding.” Susan had a love for flying; the day she soloed was a memorable one for her.
