S.H. Thompson, farmer and stock raiser, section 8, post office Plattsburg,
owes his nativity to North Carolina, having been born in Orange County,
March 11, 1810. His father, Samuel, moved to that state from Pennsylvania.
S. H. spent his early days in tilling the soil of North Carolina, and
there resided until 1836, when he became a resident of Clay County,
Missouri. In 1843, he came to Clinton County, engaging in agricultural
prusuits near Hainesville. He early was an eminent tiller of the soil in
that section, and held office of justice of the peace for several terms.
In 1867 he located where he now resides, his estate now consisting of 250
acres, 200 of which are under cultivation. His residence, an attractive
one, is pleasantly located, and indicates comfort and taste. He was
married in 1843 to Miss Elizabeth Hale, of Kentucky. By this union they
have had five children, three of whom are living: James, Laura and John
B.; lost two, Monroe and Annie.
