John Gustaf Thompson

JOHN GUSTAF THOMPSON was born on 07 Dec 1823 in Stockholm, Sweden , and died on 01 Apr 1893 in Logan County, Oklahoma. He married on 21 Aug 1853 in New York City, New York to Sara Louise Beene. Sarah was born in New York City and died there of post-diphtheria heart disease. In the 1880 New York census John and Sarah were living on 235 Mulberry Street (a brownstone) with 4 children. John was expected to follow in his father's career (a commissioner in Stockholm) but John visited the United States, met and married Sarah. Sarah's mother either was in poor health or had no other children to look after her, and Sarah would not return to Sweden with John.

John volunteered when President Lincoln asked for 75,000 men to put down the attack at Ft. Sumner but was injured while lifting logs and was medically discharged. In 1886-87 John was working in an upholstery factory and fell through a trap-door, breaking his pelvis. While in Bellevue Hospital his daughter, Martha, would walk down Orchard Street to visit her father in hospital through what is now Greenwich Village (near Little Italy). Unable to work, John collected his Civil War pension and in 1888 he and Martha visited Sweden, Norway and Denmark. He could find no living relatives in Sweden. They planned to live permanently in Sweden but returned to the United States to settle his business affairs. He received a letter from his son, Andrew, asking him to visit Guthrie, Oklahoma, but by the time they arrived, Andrew had decided to go on to Wyoming and was killed in a train wreck. Not long after they arrived in Guthrie, John had a heart attack. Afraid he would die and leave her alone far from any relatives, he arranged her marriage to James Anderson, whom John considered an up and coming young man, owning a store and a farm of 160 acres. He died on James and Martha's farm two years later. John belonged to the Lutheran Church.
