General Notes: Husband - Andrew Thompson
In his native land he early united with the Lutheran Church, and after his marriage joined the First Presbyterian Church of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, in whose work he took a prominent part, teaching Sunday school, and proving a very popular teacher with the boys and young men. For several years prior to his death he was an elder of that church. For fourteen years Mr. Thompson was a sailor, and he was one of the pioneers in the California gold fields.
He was a sailor from Lausoik, Norway, and sailed from that place March 26, 1846, for London, England. He sailed out of England in 1849 for the United States, sailed out of the United States until 1854, when he went to San Francisco, California, and from there to the gold mines. He worked in the mines until 1861, and from there he came to Pennsylvania. He settled, with his wife, (whom he had lately married) in Kittanning, Armstrong County, April 25, 1862. They had a residence on the corner of Jefferson and Mulberry streets. He was a teamster.
