He was reared on the home place, and attended the district school. As a young man he learned farming from his father, and after his father's death, assisted his mother with the farm work for several years. In 1915 he moved into his present tract of 80 acres. He has erected a sightly modern home, with a good barn and other buildings. Here he successfully carries on general farming, and makes a specialty of Jersey cattle. His interests include stock in the Co-operative Mercantile Co. of Chetek, and in the Spring Hill Creamery. Mr. Thompson is a man of excellent judgment in all things, he keeps well abreast of his times in the latest developments in agriculture, and he believes in putting his best energies into everything that he attempts. He married Emma Pierson. This union has been blessed with four children: Alba, Esther, Violet and Louis Truman. The family faith is that of the Norwegian Lutheran Church, and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are active in the Young People's Society. --Transcribed from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
