Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [251-252]

           CHARLES E. THOMPSON, Register of Deeds of Huron County, resident
        of Bad Axe, was born July 9, 1845, in Port Huron, Mich.  His par-
        ents, JOHN D. and MARY A. (LOCKWOOD) THOMPSON, removed in 1854 to
        Huron City.  MR. THOMPSON remained in Huron County from the age of
        nine years until the attainment of his majority, obtaining mean-
        while a fair elementary education. In 1866 he went to Detroit and
        became a student in Bryant, Stratton & Goldsmiths Commercial
        College, and completed the entire curriculum of study. He obtained
        a position as book-keeper in the business establishment of THOMAS
        S. DONAHUE at New River, Huron County. After a year of service in
        that capacity, he went to Port Hope and passed two seasons in a
        saw-mill and in lumbering. His next employment was for ROBERT W.
        IRWIN, of Sand Beach, as clerk and book-keeper. In the winter of
        1871-2 he entered the telegraph office at Port Hope. In the spring
        following, he went to Huron City as accountant in the service of R.
        B. HUBBARD & Co., where he was employed until his name was brought
        before the people for the position of County Clerk. In the fall of
        1876, he was placed in nomination by the Republicans of the county
        for the position, and scored a triumphant success over the opposi-
        tion candidate. He was re-elected in 1878. He was elected in 1880
        to the position of County Treasurer, and discharged the duties of
        the office during one term. He received his election to his present
        incumbency in the fall of 1882, being re-elected in the fall of
        1884. He is a member of the Order of Masonry and is a Knight
        Templar. His pleasant residence has 15 acres attached, and he owns
        also 59 acres near Port Hope.
           MR. THOMPSON was married May 13, 1872, to ELIZABETH McDONALD.
        She was bofn near Brucefield, Ont. The children which have since
        been added to the household of Mr. and Mrs. THOMPSON were born as
        follows: CHARLES A., Feb. 21, 1873; ANNA GRACE, Sept. 20, 1880; and
        FLORENCE E., Feb. 28, 1883.
           In presenting the likeness of MR. THOMPSON in this work, we do
        so with a firm belief that all who see it will recognize one of the
        representative and energetic citizens of the county.
