We are looking for Clifford F.Thompson who may have been raised by an aunt
and uncle in Bluffton,Indiana.He was born in Beardstown,Ill,Cass Cty to
supposed parents Richard Thompson and Josephine Nolden,we know that Richard
Thompson was born 1859 in Harrisburg Penn,Dauphin Cty to Anna Garris and
John Thomson.Maybe he had some siblings that moved to Indiana,so when he
died in 1887 in Il,probably St Clair County working on the RR and was
buried in Potters Field Beardstown,Ill,Josephine may have taken Clifford to
relatives or to Bluffton for a visit.We have a picture of him on a horse in
Bluffton,In,and wondered if anyone knew of him or the Thompson family that
may have raised him.Clifford grew up and went to Cleveland and started a
family in Cuyahoga Cty,OH.I posted a picture of Clifford when he was little
in the Cass County photos,1889 photo.
