` THE Guaiii>iaN’s despatch from
Seattle, published yesterday, announced
the death of Rev.J.R. Thompson, chap-
lain of the First Washington Volunteers,
now in Manila. Rev. Mr. Thompson
wasan Islander, born at St. Peter’s
Road, near this city and -in early life,
lived at the family homestead at Syd-
ney Mills, Suffolk, where his brother
Mr. Hugh Robert Thompson' still rp-
sides. ___Mr. _W. J. Thompson, of
Dunstaffnage, is another brother. Mrs.
Wm. Rodd, Brackley Point., and ,Miss
ThomPson,‘of Washington Stale' on the
_Pacific coast, are sisters of the deceased
minister. - The iirstzwife of Mr. J. R.
Thompson, station -master in -this city
'was also'a sister. Rev. J. R.--Thomp-
son _received his collegiate training at
Queen’s College, KingstiJli\»`.`0nt., and
his first pastoral chargewas in,_HaJifax,
Nearly thirty years ago he- received a
call`to tlie'Pacific' coast_'an'dfgiwent to
Olympia, where lie ministered for some
time. Subuquently he. _held pastoral
charges in Vancouver 'and Aberdeen,
both in Washington State. _Last sum-
mer lie accepted the chaplaiucy of the
First Washington Volunteers and when
the regiment was sent to Manila some
four months ago he accompanied them'
thither. He wrote home to
his brothers from Honolulu
while on the passage ont, and
again after his arrival in Manila, one
letter from him having been received
but a few days ago. It made no men-
tion' of illness and he was believed to be
in good health at the time of writing,
butit takes several weeks for a letter
to reach P. E. Island from Manila. The
first tidings of his death reached his
brother through theztelegrapli despatch
in TEE Guaapinr and they were natur-
ally much distressed to read it. Rev.
Mr. Thompson visited the Island in the
spring of 1891, having been summoned
from the Pacific coast by the illness of
his father, the late Isaac Thompson,who
died. however before the son reached
home. Mr. Thompson wasa gifted and
ifaitlitul minister. and endeared himself
_to all about him in every relation et
‘1ife. THE GUAEDIAN extends siieere
sympathy to the mourning relatives.
