Thompson, and was admitted to the bar in 1869. In 1871 he was elected to the office of district attorney and filled that position until 1875. He continued to practice law until 1881, when he went into the oil business, organizing the Bald Ridge Oil Com­pany, the pioneer company in the oil development south of Butler.

He was a very successful oil operator, and was joint owner of some of the most valuable oil properties in Butler County.
