Bio

Judge Thompson is responsible for the park known as Pioneer Park as it was through his persistence that this tract was set aside as a park instead of being platted and sold for residence properties. A long news article announcing the death of Judge Thompson and including an extensive description of his life and accomplishments is found in the: Grand Island (Nebraska) Daily Independent Saturday, 28 September 1912, Page 1, columns 1 & 2
