General Notes: Husband - William A. Thomson

---

He was born on the old Thomson homestead in Independence township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in this county, studied under Dr. Kelly, and became a surveyor, which occupation he followed for thirty years. He was an energetic and ambitious man, and injured his health in the discharge of his duty. Among his many good qualities, was that of hospitality. He was a justice of the peace for three terms. Previous to his marriage he bought a farm of 160 acres, where he lived until his demise. On the farm were ten oil wells, for which his widow received $16,000.
