Mr. Thomas has been confined to his home for several months and his death was not unexpected. Funeral services were held from the home this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the sermon being preached by Rev. F.S. Eastman of the United Presbyterian church. Interment was made in the Benson cemetery.

Mr. Thomas had been troubled with Bright's disease for several years and in 1920 removed from Kansas to Washington in the hope that the change of climate would improve his health. He had lived at Everett, Oak Harbor and Puyallup before coming to Prosser about a year ago. Mr. Thomas has been confined to the home since October and the end came peacefully yesterday morning.

Mr. Thomas was a loving father, a good husband and a faithful friend and will be greatly missed in the town and community. The family has the sympathy of all.
