Picture
Thompson was a Methodist minister in the North Georgia Conference.  He retired to Oxford and bought the Hopkins House where he was well known throughout the community for reading Uncle Remus stories to children on his front porch. 

He was an active member of Allen Memorial Church where a Sunday school class was named in his honor.
