Biography and Timeline
From History of Huntington County Indiana 1914 :
ELIJAH P. THOMPSON. Among the old families of Huntington county the Thompsons have had a prominent place from the time when all this country was in the woods and swamps and prairies, before cultivation had begun, and while the Indians and wild animals were still the principal occupants of a region that is now entirely devoted to agricultural prosperity. During all these years their lives have been led along the paths of quiet industry and prosperity, and as farmers and good citizens they have done their full share for the enrichment of community life. There are few men in Huntington county who own a better extent of fertile and improved soil than Elijah P. Thompson, of Salamonie township. At the same time his success as a business man has been accompanied by helpful and capable service to the community in which he lives, and his name is known throughout the southern half of Huntington county.
Elijah P. Thompson was born on Section 14, in Salamonie township, August 11, 1857, a son of John H. and Lucretia (Preble) Thompson. Several generations of the Thompson family have lived in Huntington county, and they originally came from Bracken county, Kentucky, more than seventy years ago. John H. Thompson himself was a native of Bracken county, while his wife was born in Preble county, Ohio, and each was brought to Huntington county when quite young. John H. was nine years of age when the family located here, and he and his wife grew up together in Salamonie township, and were married and spent their lives in that locality. They became the parents of eight children, but only two are now living, Emma A. being the wife of Asa W. Bonham.
Elijah P. Thompson spent his early youth on the Thompson farm, had the wholesome environment of the rural activities and influences, and attended one of the schools taught in Salamonie township forty or fifty years ago. His school attendance was limited to the winter season, while the summers were all spent in the varied activities of the farm. When twenty-one years of age his father, who was one of the big farmers of his time, started him out in life with one hundred and sixty acres of land. Like the capable steward, he has never hid his talent in a napkin, and has gone ahead and increased his property until the present time he is the owner of eight hundred and eighty-four acres of the fine land of Salamonie township, and under his management it has all increased in value through his labors and varied improvements.
On December 9, 1880, Mr. Thompson married Lucy E. Chopson, a daughter of John and Susanna (Stroup) Chopson. She too is a native of Salamonie township, and grew up and received her education in the common schools in the same neighborhood as her husband. To their marriage have been born five children, namely: Webster J., who is a farmer and who married Mildred Shafer; Marcus W., who is a Salamonie township farmer, and married Gertrude Huffman; George E., who finished the course in the Warren high school, graduated from the Indiana State University, and later from Cornell University at New York with degree Ph B. and is a brilliant young scholar who has been retained as a member of the faculty of instruction at Cornell University in the Physics department, and he married Miss Hazel Gullefer; Miriam E. is the wife of Frank Minnich of Warren; Ellen G., graduate of the Warren high school and now lives at home. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have taken great pains to afford their children the best of advantages both at home and in school, and have the satisfaction of seeing them all well situated in life and useful members of society. The family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Warren, and in politics Mr. Thompson has always tried to vote for the support of the Republican candidate, though not conspicuous as a party man.
