General Notes: Husband - W. G. Thompson

---

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he lived until six years of age. When sixteen years old he began teaching, and continued the profession for many years in different schools in Allegheny County. He was principal of the Sharpsburg school for four years, and in 1858 moved to a farm in Cecil township, Washington County, which became his home.

He bought a partially improved farm in Cecil township, containing 111 acres, which he then cultivated, and on which he erected a commodious house and barn, put out shade trees, and planted a good orchard. After coming to Washington County he taught three winters in Cecil township, two winters at Venice, and one in the home district, but he devoted his principal attention to agricultural pursuits. He and his wife were members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Chartiers township.
