Pat I can find Sarah living with her brother Walter and family in 1910 census in Mt. Vernon but I cannot find her prior to that and can only find her parents and brother Walter in 1880 census in McClellan Twp, JCI. Her brother Hutton (J. Hutton Thompson) stated on his passport application he was born March 8, 1893 in Mt. Vernon. The California Death Index shows he was born 8 Mar 1893 IL died 23 Jul 1980 in Los Angeles, CA. He had beautiful penmanship. On his WW I draft card he states he was born in Waltonville, IL and he is living at 138 Adams St, Rockford, IL and working as a "knitter" and is married with one child. Where was John and Anna/Annie (Hutton) Thompson living in 1900 and later years?
