Thomson/Stowell

The Ancestors of Allen Thomson

Allen (1868-1955) was born to Curtis Hubble Thomson and Fanney Amelia Stowell. He marrried Almira Ross in 1890. For relationships, dates and places please see Ancestral Charts.

These photos were kept by Lois Thomson and passed on to Carolyn and Art Thomson** and me by Kathy Staeber. Included are some pictures that were not labeled. Additional Stowell portraits were contributed by Eugene Neilson, a Stowell descendant.*** Other early photographs of these families are more than welcome. (Thank you to Shirley Trout, Judy Thomson and Dick Farthing also.)
