**********************************************************************

Isaac B. Thompson, was born in Pennsylvania, July 3, 1838. He learned
the marble business in Pennsylvania, and on coming to St. Joseph, in
January, 1864, established himself there in that business, purchasing
the shop of E. K. Bedwell, a representative marble worker in that city.
This he has enlarged to meet the demands of his increasing trade. By
his skill as an artist and the aid of the best workmen he is enabled
to turn out a superior quality of work, as many of his beautiful mon-
uments attest. He was elected councilman of the second ward in 1879,
and also in 1881, and is among the most useful and intelligent alder-
man on the board. As he is enterprising and successful in his own
business, so he is in advancing the interests of the city, ably advo-
cating those measures which are calculated to promote her advancement.
He married Catherine Coleman, of Iowa, in January, 1865. They have
four children living: Edgar, Charley, William and Minnie.
