From St. Ansgar Enterprise, 1902:
Just Thompson was born at Toten, Norway, May 25, 1846 and died at St. Ansgar, Iowa on April 9, 1902, being therefore nearly fifty-six years of age.
At the age of five, in 1867, his family emigrated to America and settled near Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin. Here he grew to manhood. On the 19th of November, 1868, he was married to Christiane Bratsven. They moved to St. Ansgar, Iowa in 1870. This continued to be his home until death. His wife died April 17, 1886.
On May 10, 1887, he was again married to Mrs. Anna B. Olson who with four children survive him. They are James, age 14, Nellie, age 10, Arthur, age 8 and Belva, age 4. During the years, which Mr. Thompson has resided here, he has been engaged in blacksmithing and has always held a place of high respect in the community. He always remained a member of the Norwegian Lutheran Church at Dodgeville, Wisconsin, but he always supported and attended the church in St. Ansgar. His health had not been good for several years, having been especially poor the last two. He was confined to his bed about two months. The funeral was held at the Norwegian Lutheran cemetery. The sincere sympathy of all goes to the loved ones he left behind.
