Person:Hamilton Thompson (1)

He is listed in the 1880 Census as an Engineer and on his death certificate as a retired Pumper. I am assuming he worked for the railroad. He lists in the 1900 Census at the age of 68 that he was a Merchant-groceries. I wondered if he might have worked with his son-in-law who started his store about that time in Bristol.1860 Illinois, Whiteside, Fulton
