The George W. Thompson (May 17, 1844-December 7, 1929)buried at Repton is not the George W. Thompson in my post about Mary Ann Middleton.
My George Washington Thompson was born March 28, 1837 and died Dec. 29, 1915. His death certificate says he was buried "near Georgiana, Alabama" but does not name the cemetery, and so far I have not found his grave.
These are my notes on the George W. Thompson buried at Repton:

BROOKS-THOMPSON Wedding, 1901

BROOKS-THOMPSON
The social event of the season was the marriage of Horace BROOKS and Lillie THOMPSON, on the evening of the 24th ult. All day loving hands had been busy decorating the church, and it was neatly and tastefully done. The sun had sunk beneath a cloudless horizon, and the beautiful April day was giving place to a balmy moonlight night when the inhabitants of our little village began to congregate at the Union church, and long before the appointed time every seat was occupied.
The attention of the audience was drawn from the beautiful flowers by the sweet strain of the wedding march rendered by Miss Katie ROBERTS, and the bridal party, preceded by Master Russell RAWLS and little Miss Cloe WATSON bearing a basket of flowers, strewing them down the right aisle. The maid of honor was Miss Lorena ROYSTER and the bridesmaid Miss Minner ELLIS. The bride was tastefully attired in white organdy, wore a veil and orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of roses. The bridesmaid wore white over pink and the maid of honor white over blue, both carried arm shower bouquets of pale pink roses.
The groom and his men were looking their best. Taking their places under one of the floral arches the sweet strains of the music died away and the audience listened attentively to the beautiful and impressive ceremony performed by Rev. B. J. SKINNER of Monroeville. Leaving the church they went immediately to the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. J. C. HIGDON, where a reception was given them.

Repton News
H. E. BROOKS and wife and Mrs. I. HIGDON of Century, Fla. are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. THOMPSON.
--
Note by CMS: My g-gm's sister, Nancy Turkwane BROOKS, married first Moses LEE in 1885 and second George Washington THOMPSON (1837-1915) about 1901. Aunt Turk had a nephew named Horace D. BROOKS, and he married Ethel BRANTLEY in 1917 in Conecuh Co. I'd like to determine if the Horace E. BROOKS above is related to Horace D. BROOKS and if the G. W. THOMPSON above is related to the GW THOMPSON who married my gg-aunt Turk BROOKS LEE.
