Gospel preacher listed on Ligon's Portraiture of Preachers of 1899.
The city of Benson and county of Swift have a splendid local paper, The News ably edited by a man probably as widely known as any writer in the reform movement in Minnesota, although still a young man. Mr. Thomason, otherwise "Ripp, the Reporter," describes himself in his own inimitable style as follows: "It was my good fortune to have been born in ‘lapland'--that is right where Missouri ‘laps' over into Arkansas, or Arkansas ‘laps' over into Missouri, I never learned which. But at any rate, it was very near the line, in Taney County, Missouri, just at the foot of the Ozarks, near the famous White River, on Turkey Creek, in a little log cabin--just the same as Abe Lincoln. As to when I became a nut, that is hard to say. I think I was born that way. But my violent activities along rebellious lines actually began when Coxey's army marched to Washington--I wanted to go, but decided to stick to my job of $10 per month, board and washing. During the past twenty years I have Scouted over every state west of the Mississippi, from Old Mexico to Nome, Alaska, always ‘sniping' on the firing line and finally settled down here to rest, read, fish, hunt, play golf, and watch the ‘passing show,' two years ago." --www.ancestry.com
Otto Monroe Thomason was the first born of John Hiram Thomason and Edna Virginia Jan Killman. Otto, or "Uncle Mun", as our family called him, was quite an interesting man...he traveled all over the country and got involved in all kinds of farmers rights movements. He was a newspaper editor and reporter in Minnesota. -www.rootsweb.com
