Jeremiah Odle Paul was married to Alta Viola Thompson. She was the daughter of James
Franklin Thompson and Rachel Elizabeth Olney. Rachel was the daughter of Ben Olney and can
be traced back to the ship, the Planter and to Roger Williams colony. James Franklin
Thompson was the son of Joesph and Elizabeth (Donague) Thompson from Linn Co., Oregon.
James Franklin Thompson and Rachel Elizabeth (Olney) Thompson moved to Whitebird, Idaho.
Four of their daughters were killed in an avalanche. I have the newspaper clippings. The
only two children to survive were Joesph Benjamin Thompson and Alta Viola Thompson. She
had to be revived. The other four suffocated. The Thompson's had more children. I have
extensive records on this family.
