Returning to Bowling Green and looking around for a location he chose a place called Longfleet. The country was sparsely settled and people seldom got sick, so the doctor was not long in making up his mind to quit the place. He then came back to Bowling Green. In 1870 he went to Guthrie county, Iowa, where he remained until April, 1875, when he returned to Bowling Green and formed a partnership with his old tutor.

Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume V, Battle – Perrin – Kniffin, 4th ed. Garrard Co. JOHN C. THOMPSON, the elder grandson of Lewis V. Phillips, is a prominent business man of Lancaster, Garrard Co., Ky. He was born on the 10th of August, 1851, and is the eldest son of Nathan A. Thompson, who is a business man of Lancaster, and his mother was Martha A. Phillips, the eldest daughter of Lewis V. Phillips of Garrard County. He was well educated but early acquired a taste for the mechanical trade, and during his school days, his teacher often found his desk provided with tools not required in the analysis of a sentence, nor a solution of a problem in mathematics. He chose the trade of watchmaker and jeweler, in which he became skilled, and at which he worked for some years. In 1872 he established his present house, which then consisted of a small stock, but which is now second to none in central Kentucky. This success is due to native energy, thorough business qualifications, and honest dealing; the jewelry house of John C. Thompson has now more than a local reputation. He makes a specialty of fine diamonds, and draws a patronage from various counties of central Kentucky. On account of increasing trade Mr. Thompson has established a branch house in Stanford, Ky. His business success verifies the adage “honesty is the best policy,” and also serves as an incentive to other young men. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Lancaster; director in the building and loan association; a member of the Christian Church, of the Masonic fraternity, and I. O. O. F. Being aggressive his influence is felt in the enterprise of his town. Mr. Thompson was married, in 1876, to Miss Sallie, daughter of Richard Simpson of Garrard County. They have three children: Lizzie, Mattie and May.
