His wife, however, passed away in Minnesota in OW. at the age of thirty-six years. It was in the public schools of Fort Dodge that Dr. Thompson began his education. He mastered the branches that constituted the curriculum of the public schools there and after completing a high school course entered the Iowa State College of Mechanic Arts at Ames,.while still later he became a student in the State University of Iowa, where he pursued his professional course. He was graduated with the M. D. degree in 1909 and entered upon the practice of medicine and surgery at Fort Dodge, where he remained for a year. He then removed to Woodrock, Wyoming, where he represented the Big Horn Lumber Company, but after a year he opened an office in Evanston, where he has since engaged in the private practice of his profession. He is ambitious to attain the highest efficiency possible in his chosen calling and on three different occasions he has gone to Chicago for work in the Post Graduate Polyclinic. He is a member of the Wyoming State Medical Society and of the American Medical Association and through these avenues he also keeps in touch with the trend of modern professional thought, research and scientific investigation. In Evanston, on the 1st of August, 1914, Dr. Thompson was united in marriage to Miss Isabella C. Myth, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Blyth, representatives of a well known family, the father having been connected with the Blyth & Fargo Mercantile Company of Evanston, Wyoming since 1871.

Fraternally Dr. Thompson is connected with the Elks lodge at Ogden, Utah, and his religious faith is that of the Roman Catholic church. He is an automobile enthusiast and an expert driver. While on a visit to Detroit in November, 1917, Dr. and Mrs. Thompson purchased a late model Packard car, which they drove through to Evanston, the latter part of the journey, from Omaha, of over one thousand miles being made in five days’ He is naturally an advocate of good roads and feels that Wyoming has made splendid forward strides in this direction. Dr. Thompson stands for public progress and improvement along all lines that promise to be of benefit to the community and the state at large, and his influence has long been a potent factor for good in the community in which he makes his home.
