From Julian Franklin Anderson's Descendants of Benjamin Willis I:
On the death of her husband, Luke Sapp Thompson, on 1 June 1920, Mrs Martha Willis Thompson already owned, outright, 158.3 acres of the Thompson estate. Electing to receive a "child's share" of her husband's estate, she was awarded an additional 75.49 acres for a total of 233.79 acres held in her name. Among other things, she was also awarded mules named Gip, Pink, Dave, Lilly, Jack, Emma, Maud, Back, and another Maud.
The 75.49 acres awarded her as her one-fifth share of her husband's estate include the L. S. Thompson homeplace--a quite large, rambling frame house where their family had been raised--along with two large barns and other outbuildings.
Mattie Lou Thompson Whidden, along with her new husband, William W. Whidden, lived in the L. S. Thompson homestead with Martha Willis Thompson for the rest of their lives. (Mattie Lou lived there from birth until death, never living in any other house.)
Martha Willis Thompson lived another 20 years after the death of her husband. In July 1940 she fell and broke her hip and...for many years thereafter it did not occur to me that she died from anything other than a broken hip. Her death certificate states death was the result of "old age" and "fracture of left hip."
At her death, there was considerable anger and gnashing of teeth by some of the surviving relatives (daughter Sallie Jane Thompson Page, granddaughter Hazel Page Anderson, son Lester Thompson, daughter-in-law Martha Lane Thompson, and perhaps others) when her will had simply "disappeared." Mattie Lou and her husband William Whidden were the alleged beneficiaries of the "losing" of this will. I have no actual, firm knowledge as to how Great-Grandmother Martha Willis Thompson's estate was settled (or if it was). The Worth County probate judge's office has no record of any division of whatever estate she left. Perhaps Mattie Lou and her husband did, indeed, "get it all."
The majority of the old L. S. Thompson acreage (all of it except the old Page place, auctioned in 1955 to Mr Harris) is now owned by Frank Sumner, a descendant of Joseph M. Sumner, a son of Joseph Sumner Jr. ... None of the surviving Thompsons own a single acre!

164 Various sources say he was killed by Henry Sinclair, but do not give details (or date). Tom Willis
 
165 The History of Washington County says he was killed in the Civil War, but provides no further detail. Andrew J. Young
 
166 The History of Washington County gave Elizabeth's dates as "1850-1882." The first, at least, is impossible since her mother was born in 1850. I'm leaving the death date of 1882 and changing the birthdate to "est 1878" to preserve the order the children were listed in the History.--Kathy Fowler, 2 July 2003 Elizabeth Young
