I've "rescued" an old photograph button of Howard Keith THOMPSON b. 30 Jan
1924 in Pittsburgh, Kansas. Notes on the back indicate that Howard was born
to Kenneth Keith & Juanita Dorene THOMPSON and that he was about 10 months
only when the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to
locate the following information regarding Howard and his family:
Charles Howard K. THOMPSON was b. 30 Jan 1924 in Pittsburg, KS to parents
Kenneth Keith THOMPSON (1900-1977) and Juanita D. HOWARD (1904-1985). He
was one of three children born to this couple. He married in Clark Co.
Nevada in 1940 and had at least one child before he died in Bakersfield, CA
on 29 Mar 1970.
Census records provide the following details:
1940 census of Galena, KS:
Kenneth K. THOMPSON, age 39, born MO, a Highway Trucker
Juanita THOMPSON, wife, age 36, born MO
Howard THOMPSON, son, age 16, born KS
Gerald THOMPSON, son, age 14, born OK
Duane THOMPSON, son, age 8, born MO
I am hoping to locate someone from this THOMPSON Family so that this
wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of family. If you are a
member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
