July 11, 1858—December 21, 1932.
By J. W. West
Prof. J. B. Deskins obtained the material for the above sketch.
H. H. Thompson, son of Samuel and Sarah W. Thompson, was born at Catlettsburg, Kentucky and settled in the John's Creek Valley.
He became a Christian at a very early age. On July 21,1876, he was married to Miss Julia Williams. To this union was born four boys and five girls.
When twenty-six years old, he began preaching and continued to do so for nearly forty-eight years though his health, a few years before he died, prevented agressive work and the holding of protracted meetings.
For several years he was employed by the State Board of Kentucky. He baptized over 3000 persons and was the first preacher of our people to preach at Grundy, Virginia.
His son, B. W. Thompson, of Fed's Creek, Kentucky, preaches. He has several sons in the gospel ministry. Among them are Lee and Alvis Ford, brothers whom he baptized the same day. Others are R. L. Justice, W. M. Abshire, Moses Hurley, Ephriah Skeins, and J. D. Anderson. He also ordained Prof. J. B. Deskins, Chairman of the Pike County Annual Convention.
Unfortunately, Brother Thompson was informed that J. W. West had plans when he entered the Big Sandy region in 1927 to crowd out the mountain preachers and have their places taken by those of other states. After he became convinced that the information was false, he became very friendly and interested in the work of evangelism pro-
moted by the one he had been led to fear.
