G. T. Thomson, M.D., a prominent physician of Barton County, has been a resident of 
Golden City since 1882.  He is a native of Christian County, Ky., and is a son of James 
and Catherine Thomson, natives of Virginia, who were early settlers of Kentucky.  Our 
subject was reared on a farm, and, his father dying when he was thirteen years old, the 
mother and family moved to Washington County, Ill.  He was educated at the Hopkinsville 
High School, and in 1865 entered the Chicago Medical College, graduating from the St. 
Louis Medical College in 1873.  He first located at New Memphis, Ill., where he was 
actively engaged in practice for several years, and then went to Steelville, Randolph 
County, Ill., where he practiced nine years.  From the latter place he removed to Golden 
City his present home, where he has since devoted his attention to the practice of his 
chosen profession, and enjoys a large and lucrative patronage.  The Doctor is a member of 
the Board of United States Pension Examiners of his district, and is local surgeon for the
Fort Scott & Memphis Railroad.  He has satisfactorily served as coroner of the county, and 
a member of the school board, and in politics his sympathies are with the Democratic party.  
He owns 160 acres of land, beside town property, and takes an active interest in all worthy 
public enterprises.  He was married in 1868 to Nannie Ford, a native of Illinois.  Their 
five children are: Terrill, Katie, Amos, Ruth and Charles.  Dr. and Mrs. Thomson are members 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
