He entered upon the active duties of life as the first printer's devil in the office of The Butler Palladium, the pioneer newspaper of the county, established August 17, Isis. In 1826, being then nineteen year- of age, he began reading law under John Gilmore, at that time a leading mem- ber of the Butler bar. He completed his studies, however, at Kittanning, under Thomas Blair. and was admitted to the Butler bar April 9. 1828, and later located at Franklin, where he resided for thirteen years. In 1832 he was elected as a rep- resentative in the General Assembly. and re-elected in 1833 and IS34. During his last term he was chosen speaker of the House.

With the beginning of his term as associate justice he took up his residence in Philadelphia, where he passed the remainder of his life. A few years after his retirement from the bench, and while engaged in the argument of a case in court, he fell to the floor and expired. During his long career in public life, Judge Thompson maintained a high reputation as a lawyer and jurist. and to great ability added an unblemished name, an unassailable integrity, and the record of an unselfish, high-minded and patriotic citizen. He left a widow, three sons and two daughters. One of the sons, Samuel Gustine Thompson, has recently retired from the Supreme bench.

An uncompromis- ing Whig, he fought his way to the legislature, and, in IS48, went within meas- urable distance of Congress, that popular Democrat, Alfred Gilmore, carrying the district by a very small majority. In 1855 he went to Kansas, and was soon in the midst of the stormy struggle then taking place.
