Peter THOMPSON was born on 11 Jul 1876 in Wisconsin; died on 26 Aug 1969 in Forest County, Wisconsin.

Notes:

Photographer in Crandon.

According to his daughter Pearl: “Peter J. Thompson was a staunch Republican. He was a professional photographer in both Brillion and Crandon. Those days Crandon had no electricity so his work in the dark room was done by kerosene lamps. The end of his business came when his lamp exploded in his hands burning him extensively. The gallery burned to the ground along with his records and books. Only one or two people came and paid him. The others knew he couldn't prove they owed him so they didn't pay.”
