General Notes: Husband - Stewart S. D. Thompson


His father died when he was nine years old. He then went to Penn township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared among relatives, his education being finished at Wilkinsburg Academy. When nineteen years old he returned to Allegheny and studied law for two and one-half years.
He married and soon after engaged in the fire-insurance business, and was made almost bankrupt by the losses of companies in which he held stock, through the Chicago fire of 1871. In 1872 he organized the Armenia Fire Insurance company, was elected its president, and thereafter held that position without having a vote cast against him. He was for nine years a member of the Allegheny City council, and served several years as school director. He was a republican, and a member of the Sixth U. P. Church of Allegheny.
