Early life

Thompson was born in Sydney on 10 September 1885, the son of Mary Annie (née Lewis) and Charles Thompson; his father was a carpenter. He was educated at state schools, including the Cleveland Street Public School.[2]

Journalism career

Thompson joined The Tamworth Daily Observer in 1911 as a senior reporter, having previously worked for newspapers in Narrabri, Murwillumbah and Albury. He was appointed as editor a few months later and oversaw its transformation into the Northern Daily Leader. He was appointed as a director of its holding company and eventually became one of its largest shareholders, only retiring from the board in 1965. He reportedly contributed over 15,000 articles to the Daily Leader.[2]

Personal life

Thompson married Emma Bell in 1907, with whom he had one daughter. He died in Ashfield, New South Wales, on 11 May 1968, aged 82.[2]
