Thompson McGonagle & Asenith Vickers

Thompson McGonagle & Asenith Vickers

(Parents of Wilson Ellsworth McGonagle, Father of Jesse Thompson McGonagle, Father of Marie Mae McGonagle, Father of Nelada Marie Grant)

Thompson was a farmer in Franklin Township, Ohio. He was an active member of the Methodist church and was highly esteemed by neighbors and friends.

 Asenith was born in 1834 in Ohio. She was the fourth of six children. She married Thompson McGonagle in 1857, and was the mother of two children. Her father died in 1868, and her sister, Ruth lived with her from that time on. These two affectionate sisters, Asenath and Ruth, in their companionship in suffering always maintained the cheerful and bright spirit, and they never failed to evidence their sensitive appreciation of the kindly offices of their loving friends who so faithfully ministered to their physical and spiritual demands, and the remembrance of their Christian virtues, and joyous testimonials rest as a refreshing benediction on the bereaved household whence they so recently took their heavenly flight.
