Carl Thompson Leaves Wife And Two Children
Word was received Friday night by the family of Carl Allen
Thompson, chief ship fitter, U. S. Naval Reserves, serving with the
Seabees, that he had died August 9th, somewhere in the Solomons
while in line of duty. Thompson was in business in Houston when he enlisted in the service. In World War No. I he attempted to enlist in the army but was rejected on account of his youth. He then went to Ellington field to enlist in the aviation but was rejected there because of his youth. Not to be discouraged he then went to the navy in the later part of the war and enlisted to serve three years. Following the war he returned to Bay City where his father, the late T. M. Thompson was farming rice and had farmed rice since moving his family here in 1903.
He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Nancy Ruth,
13, one son, Billy Earl, 15. Also surviving is his mother, Mrs. T.
M. Thompson; three brothers, R. K., Bay City, Floyd of Houston, and
H. D. (Jack) of Ohio. Five sisters also survive: Mrs. H. D. Brown,
