From "History of Dakota Territory," p. 1181: "Joseph C. Thompson, a son of John and Christine Thompson, was born on the 29th of January, 1871, and was reared under the parental roof. He acquired his education in the common schools and early became accustomed to the work of the farm. He now owns two hundred and sixty acres of good land and is a progressive and successful agriculturist. In 1892 he wedded Miss Emma Moan, a daughter of Ole N. and Bereth (Bertha) Moan, who are residing near Baltic, this state. To Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have been born nine children, three of whom are deceased, the others being: Julius, Inez, Edna, Clara, Bertha and Gordon. Mr. Thompson is a republican but has never been an office seeker. He and his family are identified with the Lutheran church and their influence is on the side of moral progress."

Joseph married Ingeborg Olsdaughter Moan (Tommerasmo). (Ingeborg Olsdaughter Moan (Tommerasmo) was born on 18 Feb 1872 in Meraker, Nord-Trondelag, Norway and died in 1950 in 1950 Sverdrup Township, Minnehaha Co., South Dakota.)
