General Notes: Husband - John Jamieson Thompson


He received the usual education of the common schools in a pioneer county, which was in a general way much better and more thorough than under the circumstances could have been expected. But all his life he remained a student, reading constantly and observing carefully the facts of public life. He was an enthusiastic and active Mason, a Republican in politics, and enterprising and successful as a business man.
When a young man he entered into partnership with Joseph Darr, and for many years was associated with that gentleman in the conduct of the "American" hotel and in the lumber business. This partnership was dissolved by the death of Mr. Darr in 1901. In 1899 he moved to Bayonne, New Jersey, where he took charge of the works of the Orford Copper Company.
