According to a note left by my Aunt, she says (following her Grandfather's obit):

"Well Known Painter Dies: Frank David Thompson, 60, well known painter and paper-hanger of the city, died yesterday morning at 11:40 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Kyle Stradling, on Luick Avenue. Mr. Thompson was born in Ohio. He was a member of the Crawfordsville Lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose. He is survived by two sons, Guy W. Thompson and Harry Thompson; and five daughters, Mrs. Kyle Stradling, Mrs. Edward Knecht, Mrs. Grace Bechtel, Mrs. Charles Knecht, all of Muncie, and Mrs. Grant Hickerson, of Indianapolis. The funeral services will be held at the Stradling home Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be made in Beech Grove Cemetery."

Note written by Pauline Knecht Mitchell:

"Grandfather Thompson had a grocery on the corner just a couple houses away so I spent time there. He would let me fix a treat of candy for those people who paid their bills. He soon found out I was giving his profit away because I filled the sacks with candy, usually the kind I liked. So he stopped this.

He spent most of his time entertaining ladies in his back room where he lived.

Grandfather or Frank D. Thompson left Mollie (Mary Jane Harris), my Grandmother, with 7 children to raise. He married Wilda immediately. They had a restaurant in Linden, Indiana. I was there a couple of times."

In the Obit for Frank David Thompson, it lists a daughter Mrs. Grant Hickerson. This would be Hattie Mae and her husband was Ulysses Grant, who sometimes went by U.G. Hickerson. By chance do you have any information on this Hickerson? Also I have pictures of Hattie Mae and a little more info.
In 1980 Pauline Mitchell wrote me, with as much information as she could remember, which wasn't much, but sounded like a Dear little Lady.
