I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the THOMPSON Family of Washington. The first photograph is one of Pete THOMPSON'S children including, Chester, Myrtle, Albin, Elmer, and Lloyd which was taken at the W. F. Combs Studio in Hoquiam, WA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's or early 1900's with the children ranging in age from 1-5 years. Notes on the back indicate that Chester is the oldest and Lloyd is the youngest, though I think that refers only to the boys since it appears that Myrtle is the 1 year old in the photograph. The second photograph is identified as that of Susie THOMPSON at age 15 years. There is no studio or location indicated on this photograph, however, I'd guess that it was taken in the 1880's or 1890's. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Susanna Jorgina THOMPSON was b. 15 Aug 1875 in NE and married Edward Patrick SMITH on 4 Apr 1892 in Hoquiam, WA. Chester Arvid THOMPSON was b. 10 Oct 1894 in Hoquiam, WA to parents Peder Teodor THOMPSON and Paulina Janson JOHNSON. Chester died in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 4 Oct 1969. Albin Clarence THOMPSON was b. 11 Sept 1896 in Hoquiam, WA to parents Peder Teodor THOMPSON and Paulina Janson JOHNSON. Albin died in Lomond, Alberta, Canada on 28 Feb 1916. Elmer Jule THOMPSON was b. 10 Nov 1897 in Hoquiam, WA to parents Peder Teodor THOMPSON and Paulina Janson JOHNSON. Elmer died 27 Sept 1983 in Milo or Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. Myrtle Florence THOMPSON was b. 28 Feb 1900 in Hoquiam, WA to parents Peder Teodor THOMPSON and Paulina Janson JOHNSON. Myrtle married Lewis MUNRO and died in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 22 Jul 1966. 1900 census of Hoquiam, WA: Peter T. THOMPSON, b. WI Porlena THOMPSON, b. Sweden Chester E. THOMPSON Albin C.

THOMPSON I'm hoping to locate someone from this THOMPSON Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to the care of the family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
