Lee was a longtime farmer, rancher, beekeeper, and honey producer of Millican. Annie and Lee chose to educate their two daughters at home and whenever the school board would send out an examiner, Dora and Annie always scored very high on their examst,:i( Leon Hale, columnist for the Houston Post;. said he had listened to a lot of storytellers but none better than Mr. Thompson. This is one of his favorites: The Tragic Baptizing on the Brazos. This is an account of a camp meeting held on the Brazos River way back in 1836, when a young girl was about to be baptized. She slipped out of the hands of the minister and an alligator got her. A bunch of other converts were standing on the bank waiting to be immersed. When the girl disappeared in the water the minister intoned, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Fetch out another one." But not another convert would come forth to be baptizedt!
