Nathan S. Thomas

THOMAS, Nathan S. – Died- At his home near Lincoln, Arkansas, Nathan S. Thomas, at 6:45 Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at the Lincoln Cemetery by Rev. Marshall. Mr. Thomas was born in Alabama July 21, 1822. He came to Southwest Missouri in 1852 and thirty-five years later came to Arkansas. His last breathe was drawn on the same piece of ground upon which his first Arkansas home was built. During the many years he has lived in this community he has made many friends. Uncle Nathan, as he was called by everyone, was quite strong and hearty until just a few months before his death. An affliction of the throat set in and this is what hastened him off. For several days Uncle Nathan seemed anxious to go to his new home, for the way was bright before him. Death came as a merciful angel peacefully upon him and carried him beyond the river where many loved ones awaited his coming. He leaves behind him a wife and five children and several grandchildren.
