General Notes: Husband - Hon. Nelson H. Thompson

---

He was fifteen years old when his father died and he man­aged the farm thereafter, adopting many new methods and making many improve­ments. The larger number of the old build­ings he tore down and in 1903 he erected a tasteful residence and built a substantial silo. He made a specialty of pure milk, selling wholesale and shipping from Claytonia to Butler. He and his family belonged to the Muddy Creek Presbyterian Church. He was active in public affairs, having frequently served in township offices and ably represented his district in the State Legislature, serving through 1901, elected on the Republican ticket. [HBC 1909, 1481]
