Ársrit Bandalags lúterskra kvenna 85 Elin Thompson Born February 12, 1893 — Died November 18, 1953 On November 18, 1953, Mrs. Elin Thompson passed away at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs John Finnbo- gason of Langruth. She had been in poor health for several years and hospitalized frequently. Final- ly her wish was to be at home and patiently await the inevitable with her loved ones near her. To make it more convenient for her sister, who so lovingly attended her, she consented to be moved from her own home on the farm at Big Point a few weeks previous to her passing. Elin was born on February 12, 1893, near Baldur, Man., and with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. David Valdimarson and older brother John and sister Kristlaug (Laura Finnbogason) came as a child of two to this district, then known as Wild Oak P.O. She attended Big Point School and was an apt scholar in spite of irregular attendance on account of distance, bad roads and seasonal floods. In later years the same aptitude, determination and practical knowledge made her a suc- cessful homemaker and clever craftswoman. As a young girl she was employed in Winnipeg and Chicago, at dressmaking, but after the death of her mother in 1925 and until her marriage to Johann Arnor Thompson on October 20, 1937, she kept house for her brothers John and Valdimar. Mrs. Thompson was a staunch member of the Lutheran Church and Ladies Aid, and supported all community efforts in her quiet unassuming way. Rev. V. J. Eylands conducted the funeral service on Saturday, November 21, and burial was made in Big Point Cemetery. Lena Thorleifson
