General Notes: Husband - James T. Thompson


His opportunities for obtaining a good education were limited as his services were required on the home farm until seventeen years of age. He then began learning the miller's trade in Mackeyville, Pennsylvania, under David Reesman, and during his three-years' apprenticeship received no compensation for his services except his board. After mastering the trade, he again attended school for a short time in Mackeyville, and subsequently successfully engaged in teaching for over five terms. After his marriage he located in Mackeyville, where he engaged in merchandising in partnership with his brother, Robinson, until 1858, when he sold out and removed to Salona. For two years he was then connected with his brother, Solomon, in the tanning business, but soon after the outbreak of the Civil war he embarked in the butchering business at Salona, which he successfully carried on for a quarter of a century, gradually retiring after his son John R. became interested in the enterprise. Until 1889 he was a stanch supporter of the Republican party, but in that year joined the ranks of the Prohibition party, as he was a great enemy of the liquor traffic. For many years he was a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
