Died at Curwensville, on Saturday last, [June 1861] of Appolplexy, Ignatius Thompson, Esq., in the 77th year of his age.

The deceased was born in Huntingdon county, in the year 1784, and settled on "The Ridges" in 1810. He was one of the earliest settlers of our county, and contributed as much towards its improvement as any man in it.

He was remarkable through life for an unvarying cheerfulness of disposition - a kindly humor which hardly any offence could change. He manifested a childlike disposition towards all. An humble opinion of himself, he was always animated with a fund of hope, which upheld him in many a trying hour during the last years of his life, having had previous attacks of that disease of which he died. And this hope became his solace and strength, as he felt the approach of death. He was an honest man, and well can it be said he had no enemy, and was an enemy of none. May he rest in peace.
