notes from Marcellus Thompson, son of Joseph G. and Catherine (Brockmeyer) Thompson:
IN MEMORIAM

On Sunday last Mrs. Thompson, wife of Joseph Thompson, of Clarksburg, was translated from the earth to heaven. Morn for her not as dead, for to live in the hearts we leave behind us, is not to die. Her life was a most exemplary one and filled with good and noble deeds. Her character was adorned with every Christian and womanly grace and she tarried here but to love and minister to the comforts of those around her. God in his mercy shield and succor the bowed heads and bereaved hearts of the loved ones that linger behind, and give them beauty for ashes, the veil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

John died on 14 Sep 1915 in Saint Marys, Pleasants, West Virginia. He was buried in Oakdale Cemetery in Oakdale, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. It may be Lot 10 in Section A.

He came up to Wheeling to enlist with the North in the Civil War (War Between the States), while his brother and cousins enlisted with the South. After the war, he married and came to Bradford, Pennsylvania, then in the early 1900's came to Noblestown. He changed his last name from Brockmire to Brockmyer. He was living in Aiken, McKean, Pennsylvania on May 7, 1890. Aiken is southeast of Bradford. He was a shoemaker and an oilman. He had served with Company F, Seventh Regiment West Virginia Volunteer Infantry and was granted a pension of $30 per month. John Baird has served in the Union Army in the Rebellion. John Baird would walk from Noblestown to Midway to deliver Christmas toys to the grandchildren by John James.

John James then returned to McDonald, Pennsylvania in the Fall of 1915. The family were living at 202 Third Street.

When John James moved to St. Mary's, John Baird moved from Noblestown to St. Mary's. One of John James's kid, Jack, remember Aunt Euruth Thompson, Aunt Bertha, Aunt Myrtle and Aunt May Shrum living on the same street as Grandfather Russell (Alexander Russell). The kid would remember Grandfather Brockmyer (John Baird) always in bed when the kids visited. While John James lived in St. Mary's, his kids Jack and Peg, contacted polio and was badly crippled by it. The shock was too much for John Baird, and he had a stroke. His sister Euruth, who was a nurse, and his daughter Alice May came to St. Mary's. They nursed him until he died. They apparently were people of responsibility and substance.

The Fairmount Index on Sept. 23, 1876 reported:

A Brave West Virginian Dies Fighting the Sioux

The family of Mr. W. Brockmire formerly of Palatine, this county, received two letters on Monday evening last. One from Col. Moore, 6th U. S. Infantry and the other from W. A. Burleigh, Clerk of the Steamer Far West. Each containing the particulars of an engagement with the Sioux near the mouth of Powder River, Dakota Territory, in which Mr. Brockmire lost his life under the following circumstances.

The Steamer Far West was employed to carry supplies to Gen. Terry's army operating against the hostile Sioux on the Big Horn River. And when near the mouth of Powder River it was found that the boat was too heavily laden and a part of the cargo was unloaded and the steamer proceeded on her way. Upon returning for the supplies it was found they had been destroyed by Indians who occupied the banks of the river in force and made threatening demonstrations toward the boat. A few shells from a twelve pounder on board dispersed them however. Col. Moore, who with three companies of infantry, was on board the boat, called for three volunteers - scouts to reconnoiter their position and determine their strength.

Mr. Brockmire and two others responded to the call and immediately left the steamer. But before they had proceeded far they were attacked by a large force of Indians and started as fast as possible to the boat. Six Indians endeavored by circling them to cut off their retreat and Mr. Brockmire's horse was soon shot and fell breaking his gun. He had been shot through the arm previously and disabled. And while attempting to rise, a Sioux rode up to him and shot him through the stomach. The discharge of the Indian's gun caused the scouts to turn and see the Indian dismount in the act of scalping the wounded man. They both fired on him at once and he fell pierced by two balls. They then returned, scalped the Indian and brought Mr. Brockmire on board the boat. He died the same evening of the occurrence and was buried at the mouth of the Powder River.

Mr. Brockmire was the son of Samuel Brockmire of Palatine and was well and favorably known in that community. He was employed as a volunteer scout under Gen. Terry's command and his officers speak in complimentary terms of his brave conduct and gentlemanly deportment while in the service. His relatives and friends have our sincere sympathy in their great affliction.

Biography of Marcellus M. Thompson:

(From Clarksburg Newspaper)
February 8, 1895
Marcellus M. Thompson
 
Marcellus M. Thompson, who for the past eleven years, except one, has held the office of Recorder and 
Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Town of Clarksburg, and for a number of years has represented 
it as attorney, was born in this city March 10, 1859.

He was admitted to practice law in 1881, and was one of council who represented the Memorialists in the 
Asylum Investigation of 1882.

Mr. Thompson is an excellent mathematician, as well as an able lawyer, and in 1884 was one of a number 
of persons selected by Artemus Martin, A.M., Ph. D., member of the London Mathematical Society, to pay 
a tribute of respect to the late Enoch Berry Seitz, who was a member of that society, and at the time 
of his death occupied the chair of Mathematics in the University of Missouri.

For years Mr. Thompson has contributed regularly to prominent daily papers, and written for various 
journals devoted to the science of mathematics.

In 1888 he was nominated for prosecuting attorney by the Democratic Convention, but was defeated at 
the general election.

In 1889 he did the legal work in the revision, codification, and preparation of the Ordinances of this 
city, and prepared an appendix thereto in 1894, which were printed and bound, and now contain the 
municipal law of Clarksburg.

He is the author of the book entitled "A Magistrate' Manual, containing forms in Civil and Criminal 
Proceedings under the Code of West Virginia," which first appeared in 1889, and a second and revised 
edition thereof was printed in 1894, which is a valuable work.

Mr. Thompson's long continious service as Recorder has been characteric of all other business matters 
with which he has been connected - that of entering into the work with spirit of progress, and sparing 
no pains in the discharge of every duty.  As a lawyer he has been very successful and has a large 
patronage. As a business man his ability is as readily recognized and appreciated.

Mr. Thompson turned over the office of Recorder to his successor, W. B. Osborn, in first class order, 
and his settlements were correct and in every way satisfactory, which speak in loudest terms his ability 
and correctness as an official.

Alice May BROCKMYER and William Harmer "Will" SHRUM were married on 24 Jan 1900 in Noblestown, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. William Harmer "Will" SHRUM (son of Amos Altman SHRUM Sr. and Margaret Jane "Maggie" HUTCHINSON) was born on 23 Nov 1870 in Titusville, Crawford, Pennsylvania. Is the county of Titusville in 1870 called Venango or Crawford?

William resided at Box 108 in Noblestown, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He was an Oil Pumper. His middle name was named after his uncle Harmer Denny Hutchinson. He was a farmer, later worked in the oil fields. When he finished eight grade, he went down to Grove City College, took and passed the entrance exam. He enlisted in the Pennsylvania National Guard April 27, 1898 and saw services at the Homestead Strike (1892, iron and steel workers), the Oil City Flood, the Johnstown flood of 1889. William later served in Spanish-American War as a cook. He dabbled with photography during the war. At the outbreak of the war with Spain in 1898, he served with Company C, 14th Regiment, Oakdale as a private, which is a voluntary infantry. He served with John J. Brockmyer. He served from April 27 to November 13, 1898. He saw Grover Cleveland sworn in for his second term (March 4, 1893). William was in the parade with the National Guard. He was discharged November 13, 1898. In the early 1890's, he came to Nobletown to work in the oil fields.

From the book "A 200TH ANNIVERSARY HISTORY OF NOBLESTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (1796-1996)" by Robert G. Larimer, page 39,

Edward Jennings, an owner of several oil leases, is still remembered by some of the elder citizens of the area. One of his employees, William Shrum (Hazel Galloway's father), worked for Mr. Jennings at a time when the Presbyterian Church had some rough financial times. Whenever Mr. Shrum, an elder of the church, mentioned this to Mr. Jennings, he would often make a donation of $50 or $30, a substantial amount for those times.

From the book "A 200TH ANNIVERSARY HISTORY OF NOBLESTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (1796-1996)" by Robert G. Larimer, page 54,

Hazel Galloway, life-long resident of Noblestown and in her 92nd year, recalls the meeting of her father, William Shrum, and her mother, Alice May Brockmyer . It seems William had invited May's sister to go on a date. When her sister got sick, May took her place. Not long after, Miss May Brockmyer became Mrs. William Shrum. We do not know what the sister thought about that. Both were faithful members at the Presbyterian Church. William also served as elder and May taught the women's Bible class.

BROCKMYER, John J., Private, Company C; Residence: Noblestown, Pa. (N. G; P.); Enrolled April 27, 1898; Mustered in May 12, 1898; Mustered out with Company Feb. 28, 1899

John James shipped aboard a vessel taking horses to South Africa during the Boer War from Oct 11 1898 to May 31 1902. He arrived in South Africa after the conflict was over.

He wrote this letter during his voyage to Bertha Brockmyer.

John James was sent to study Electrical Engineering at Holy Ghost College (now Duquesne), but did not complete his education.

John James BROCKMYER and Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie" RUSSELL were married on 11 Oct 1904 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. They were married in the Methodist Bookrooms on Fifth and Penn. Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie" RUSSELL (daughter of Margaret Ann LAMBING and Alexander RUSSELL) was born on 23 Oct 1880 in Parkers Landing, Pennsylvania.

     I, Joseph R Fretts                                      
hereby certify that on the 11th day of October one thousand
nine hundred and four at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania           
       John J. Brockmyer    and    Sarah E. Russell          
                            were by me
                        United in Marriage
in accordance with license issued by the Clerk of the Orphans' Court of
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Numbered 22029 Series E.

                                                minister

John James and his family have lived in Cherry Valley in 1910, and lived in Midway in 1911 or 1912 in two different houses. He then moved to St. Mary's in late spring of 1913. He worked in the oil refinery while at Saint Mary's. His children Peg and Jack contacted polio during this time. He probably cursed the day he moved to St. Mary's, West Virginia because of the polio. Besides they did not sell whiskey. Anyway part of his job required him to stack barrels of oil by hand. He stated they weighed over 500 lbs.

Once someone (probably one of his kid that wrote a note) saw him pick up the mattress with Peg on it and carry it down the hall to another bedroom and put it on the bed. Some feat for a man with an artificial leg.

John James then returned to McDonald, Pennsylvania in the Fall of 1915.

The family appeared in the census in 1920 in McDonald, Washington, Pennsylvania.

"Christians recognize with all persons the inevitablility of death. The central doctrine of the Christian faith is the resurrection. Christians affirm their common faith in their attitude toward death and in their witness during the approach and experience of death. The reality of death, with all of its attendant sorrow and sense of loss, must be anticipated for us all, and there must be created the kind of health of mind and spirit that allows Christians to live their faith in this critical area of human existance. Christians should seek to make the occasion of death a time in which they reaffirm with joy the hope of the gospel."

David Pearson Thorpe, 1936-2010

David Pearson Thorpe, 1936-2010 Naperville resident was avid volunteer

April 19, 2010

By Joan Giangrasse Kates, Special to the Tribune

David Pearson Thorpe remained so committed to his charitable work that even during his five-year battle with prostate cancer, he continued to show up every week at the DuPage Community Clinic, helping those who didn't have health insurance or money for medications get the care they needed.

Mr. Thorpe, who worked as a metallurgical engineer for 40 years, even was on hand at the Wheaton agency on April 13 - just three days before his death - helping low-income and uninsured clients fill out paperwork to receive free prescription drugs.

"Dave was so dedicated that he'd come in even when he was so very sick himself," said Amy Gugel, executive director of clinic. "He was absolutely amazing. He was the essence of what our work here is all about."

Mr. Thorpe, 73, a former Glen Ellyn resident who had also served on the board of Humboldt Park Social Services Center for Changing Lives in Chicago, died Friday, April 16, in his Naperville home.

"Dave was one of the best ambassadors our agency has ever had," said Delia Ramirez, executive director of Humboldt Park Social Services, which assists more than 1,200 clients annually in the West Side neighborhood. "He'd do anything we ever asked of him. Last summer he put the shelves up in my office."

Mr. Thorpe grew up in Pittsburgh, the son of a steelworker. From a young age, Mr. Thorpe dreamed of becoming an engineer - but not just any kind of engineer, loved ones say.

"As a young boy he wanted to be a metallurgical engineer," said his wife of 54 years, Norma. "I thought that strange because at that age I'd have had no idea what that even was."

Mr. Thorpe graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in engineering. He went to work for a steel company in Titusville, Pa., where he lived with his wife and children for 14 years.

During the 1970s, Mr. Thorpe moved with his family to Auburn Heights, Mich., where he worked for another steel company for seven years, before taking a job with Republic Steel in Chicago and moving to Glen Ellyn in 1980. He retired from Republic Steel at 65.

In the 1980s, Mr. Thorpe began volunteering as a youth counselor at St. Thomas United Methodist Church in Glen Ellyn. He led several mission trips to Ohio to help remodel homes for the elderly, and to Honduras to build homes and schools.
