General Notes: Husband - Josiah V. Thompson
After obtaining a preliminary education, he entered Jefferson College, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, like his elder brother, William M. Thompson, and was graduated with the class of 1871, of which his brother was also a member. On the completion of his studies, he entered the service of the First National Bank, of Uniontown, of which he became teller in 1872. He evinced a marked aptitude for the banking business and remained identified with those interests, becoming cashier of the First National Bank in 1877. Upon the death of his father, he became president of the bank. Recognized as a leading and representative adherent to Republican principles, he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of the state in 1906, and in the canvass preceding the convention showed elements of great strength and wide popularity.
