Obituary
MICHAEL H. THOMPSON
Redwood City Democrat
October 13, 1904
Michael H. Thompson is dead! All over San Mateo County and even beyond its borders, this sad news will be heard by countless friends with the deepest regrets. Those who knew him in his days of health and strength will marvel that the untimely touch of death should have laid low one of such perfect physical manhood. Those who have seen him as day by day his Herculean frame beny down beneath the heavy hand of the Destroyer will look upon his passing away as a blessed relief from the racking pains of a hopelessly incurable disease.
Nine months ago Michael Thompson was stricken with the illness that finally caused his death. He had resigned his position in the County Clerk’s office and had gone back to the tannery to earn his livelihood when he contracted a cold that settled in his lungs. On the advice of his physician, he quit work, and in the last of March, journeyed to Arizona, cheerfully hoping that the dry climate of that locality would enable him to rid himself of the germs of disease. After a short stay there, without any change for the better, he came home discouraged, realizing he must die. Since then, his failure has been rapid, but he kept on his feet almost until the end. Two weeks ago, he was last seen about town. He took to his bed where he lingered until Sunday morning when death brought him the relief that he had long looked forward to.
Michael H. Thompson was a native of San Mateo County, born at Half Moon Bay thirty- three years ago. His father died when he was a child, after which his mother moved to this city with her two sons, whom she cared for as best she could until both had passed their school days and were ready to make their own way in the world. Thomas, the eldest boy, wandered away from home and a few years ago, died in Philadelphia, it is said from the same disease that has robbed the widow of her remaining offspring Mike, or Micky as his intimate acquaintances called him stayed at home and was the mainstay of his mother in her declining years. He was a bright boy at school and became a skilled tradesman at the tannery. In 1895, he was offered a position in the County Clerk’s office by J.F. Johnston and served until 1898 when in recognition of his wide spread popularity he was given the Republican nomination for Clerk and Recorder and was elected. Launched upon a political career his success was assured had he had a proper appreciation of the splendid resources he possessed. Mr. Thompson was known to almost every man in the county, and remarkable through it may seem, he knew almost every citizen. Once he met a person he never forgot either the individual or his name. This, in large measure, accounts for his success. He was generous to a fault, genial in manner, and made friends everywhere.
At the conclusion of his official term in 1902, the deceased announced his intention of retiring from county politics, but at almost the last moment changed his mind and did a yeoman service that year to keep the County Clerk’s office under Republican control.
After a short service as deputy, he resigned.
In 1897 the deceased was married in San Francisco to Miss Hilma Sahlberg, an estimable young lady of Redwood, who with her two interesting children — a boy and girl- and his aged mother survives him.
He was an active member of the Native Sons, the Redmen, the Ancient Order of Foresters and the Firemen and held an insurance policy in the Woodsmen of the World He also left his wife provided with a cozy cottage on Phelps Street unencumbered. The deceased was interred in Union Cemetery Tuesday afternoon. Large delegations of friends were present from neighboring towns and many beautiful flower tokens were laid on his bier, expressive of the sympathy that is felt for his sorrowing relatives. Rev. David M. Crabtree of St. Peters Episcopal Church conducted services at the home and spoke consolingly to the stricken family. The church choir rendered appropriate music. At the grave final services were conducted by Mr. Crabtree, after which the mortal remains of Michael H. Thompson were deposited in the grave.
