They are both buried at the Cheshire Cemetery in Delaware County, Ohio.
The music was given to Henrietta Thompson by Milo Henry Lewis while they were courting. The sheet music in the collection was donated by their granddaughter, Margaret Cook Hunt.
Scope and Contents note
The Henrietta Marsh Thompson sheet music collection consists of one volume of sheet music collected and bound by Thompson. The majority of the 44 songs were composed between 1860 and 1868. Several songs refer to the Civil War and there is also some Christmas music. Some of the sheet music is torn and some pages have sections missing. The volume was unbound due to deterioration of the spine.
