Josiah Thompson, the subject of this notice, was born in Buchanan County, Missouri, February 12, 1839. He obtained his education in the pioneer log school-house and therefore enjoyed rather limited advantages. His parents removed to Buchanan Township when he was but five years old, and he has passed his life since that time in Page County. His father being a farmer he was naturally trained to the same occupation. He was united in marriage to Charlotte M. Bridgman, and four children have blessed this union: Larkin F., Artemisia, Frank M. and John. After his marriage Mr. Thompson settled on his present farm, where he has led an industrious and energetic life; he has added to his first investment until he now owns 316 acres of choice land in an excellent state of cultivation. In political opinion he is a stanch Democrat, but he has never aspired to public office. He is an honorable, law-abiding citizen whose word is as good as his bond.
