Thompson (listed as John M. Thomson in 1870 census), who is living in Anoka, Anoka Co., Minnesota in 1880? In the census it says he was the Chief of Police then - living with his wife Carrie M. (nee Teller, soon to be the notorious Carrie Hosford) and daughter Carrie E. Thompson. His wife (widow?) is living in a boarding house in Minneapolis a few years later, and I'd love to know if this is because she separated or divorced John M., or if he died.
