The Clear Lake Courier, November 6, 1869

Died 
At San Diego on the 11th ult., after a short illness, Major Jas. T. Thompson, of 
Lake county, aged 59 years. 
Major Thompson was born in Kentucky, immigrated to Missouri and thence to 
California in 1849. If our memory is not a fault Major Thompson represented 
Contra Costa county in the Assembly in 1853-4. Maj. Thompson was a most 
estimable citizen, a Christian and a man of more than ordinary menial culture; 
and in his death Lake county has lost one of her best citizens. He was the 
friend of the poor man and his hand was ever open to supply the wants of the 
needy and distressed. He leaves a wife and children, and many personal friends 
in Lake county to mourn his loss.
