General Notes: Husband - Alexander A. Thomson, M.D.

---

He was twelve years old when his father moved to Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, and bought an interest in the female seminary and the boys' academy, at Fayetteville, and managed the boarding house for this seminary for four years. Alexander took a four years' course in this institution, at the completion of which, in 1857, his father died, and Alexander was engaged the following winter in teaching school at Fayetteville, and in the spring began farming with his eldest brother on the old homestead near Scotland. He followed agriculture three years; then began the study of medicine with Drs. Stuart and Howland, of Shippensburg. Eighteen months later he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and there attended a course of lectures; then read one summer with Dr. A. Harvey Smith, an eminent surgeon of Detroit. In the autumn of 1863 he entered Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, from which institution he was graduated in March, 1864, and the same spring located in the practice of medicine at Newburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Here he remained in practice several years and then moved to Cumberland, Maryland, where he, with his brothers, McLeod W. and William Paxton, built the Cumberland Steel Works, which they operated one year, when the Doctor sold out, and returned to Newburg and formed a partnership with John C. Elliott, under the firm name of Elliott & Thomson, in general merchandising for three years, until the autumn of 1875. He was then nominated and elected, by the people of Cumberland County, Republican treasurer, which office he held three years, and in the autumn of 1879 was elected by the same party sheriff of the county, filling the incumbency three years. In the spring of 1882 he engaged in the cattle business in Wyoming Territory, and the year following formed a partnership with James D. Greason in the same line. Two years later they formed the Carlisle Live-stock Company, of Wyoming Territory, of which Dr. Thomson was chosen president and manager. [HCC 1886, 398]
