"John W. Thompson, the youngest of a family of seven children, lived at home until twenty-two years of age, when he commenced farming for himself on the place which he now occupies. He enlisted in the First Trans-Mississippi Regiment of Arkansas during the war, and on July 4, 1862 was captured at the battle of Helena and taken to Alton IL, where he was kept until February 17, 1865, then being sent to Point Lookout for exchange. He was exchanged at Richmond VA, shortly before Lee's surrender in April 1865, after which he returned home and resumed farming on his present place.
Mr. Thompson was married in 1866 to Fannie Deal, who was born in 1847, a native of North Carolina and daughter of Jacob and Fannie Deal, who came to Arkansas in 1854. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are the parents of three children: Anna, Oren, and Beulah. They are members of the Baptist Church and Mr. Thompson is Deacon. He is a prominent Democrat and a highly respected citizen."
