Michigan Jackson
Mr. Thompson stands prominent among the citizens of Jackson for his generosity and benevolence. His name is always found among the most liberal subscribers to all projects of a business or charitable nature, and the calls are many in a city so fertile in new enterprises as is Jackson. Both Mr. and Mrs. Thompson make the most praiseworthy use of the goods of this world, with which they are so amply endowed, in dispensing that unostentatious charity most acceptable to its recipients, and most creditable to themselves, fulfilling the scriptural injunction: "But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doeth."
The integrity and liberality of Mr. Thompson have placed him in the front rank in the state in the estimation of its people. He also stands prominent as one of the very few remaining of those pioneers who cast their lot in Jackson when it had little to boast of, and was held in light estimation by villages now of far less importance, because of its marshes, sand-hills and the generally uninviting appearance of its surroundings. There are now living in Jackson but two of its citizens who made it their homes previous to the advent of Mr. Thompson.
