(Research):Marion Township Church History (Owen Co, IN)
Located in the southwest corner of the township, it is an offshoot from the Jefferson Church at Coal City and dates its history from the year 1870. It was organized by Rev. W.L. Bicknell, with a membership of twenty persons. A frame house of worship was erected a short time after the organization on land belonging to Tipton Thompson and cost the sum of $700. The present church membership is about forty. Is this our Tipton? Probably not.

Obituary:

Last Friday night at 12:00 the death of Tipton Thompson occurred at the home of his son, J. W. Thompson, some three miles northwest of town. The funeral was conducted Saturday at 4:00 PM by Elder C. E. Moore at the Mills Cemetery where interment was made.
Mr. Thompson was born in Logansport, Indiana, September 22, 1831. This is where he grew to manhood. In 1851 he moved to California; remaining there several years. He was married on April 5, 1858 to Evaline Coon, in whom he found a faithful, loving and devoted companion for 50 years and one week. In 1879 the Tipton Thompson Family came to Texas remaining until Tipton's death, April 10, 1908.
Mr. Thompson was an industrious and honorable man with high ideals of life and hence he made many friends because he was a friend to many. He became a Christian in 1856 and at no time did he shrink from following faithfully in his Master's Service and was rewarded with a happy, peaceful life.
Tipton and Evaline were blessed with seven children, and a number of grandchildren, who live to mourn his departure. Thus a happy family is separated. This is the lot of man in this world, "The ages of sin is death but the gift of god is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord." May he have attained the biblical ideal in his going. We extend the family our sincere sympathy.

Tipton married Evaline COON on 28 Mar 1858 in , Sonoma, California, USA. Evaline (daughter of Dr William COON and Margaret JORDAN) was born on 4 Sep 1841 in , , Indiana, USA; died on 28 Feb 1936 in Mesquite, Dallas, Texas, USA; was buried on 29 Feb 1936 in Garland, Dallas, Texas, USA.

Notes:

I have material you will like in regard to Tipton Thompson. What I am writing now is all off the top of my head: In about 1979 when I was first gathering family material and asking living family members about family history, I found documents, among the documents that I know were my family's, having to do with the guardianship of the minor children of James Thompson -who died in Logansport about 1829. (I know you have Tipton's birth as 1832, but it had to have been before that). Their mother's name was Catherine. The children whose names I remember were Dunham, Hedge, Tipton, and Margaret. Possibly more than 4. I have never been able to understand just why these documents were with my family's documents.
I have an ancestor named Nancy Thompson whose father was Richard Thompson. I have never been able to find out if this James Thompson was a brother of Nancy. They were of the same generation. As you well know, Thompson research can be very difficult! And my main focus is on other ancestors. If Tipton had a more common given name, I would never have been able to make a connection.
