Eldon Lincoln Thompn
On Abe Lincoln’s
Birthday in 1928, a
baby boy was born to
Floyd and Floretta
Thompson. So to
begin the family tra-
dition of naming their
children after current
events, he was
named Eldon Lin-
coln Thompson. El-
don was to be one of
18 children to this
couple.
As we know, the 30’s were hard
times, and a very difficult time for
parents to raise a family. As the 01d-
est, many responsibilities fell on El-
don to keep up the farm, care for the
animals, and help watch over of his
siblings. This hard work attitude and
caring for others was seeded deep
at that time, and remained with him
for his lifetime.
When old enough to join, Eldon
began his 20 year career in the mil-
itary. He experienced World War 11,
Korean, and Viet Nam wars. Be-
cause of this dedication to his coun-
try, it took him away from his
spouse and family. Even though the
marriages didn’t work out, they re-
mained fiiends, and Eldon gave 6
children his Thompson name.
Once retired from Military life,
he settled down on the farm in Park
River, ND. Here he became an en—
trepreneur of salvage. . .and Thomp-
son Salvage was bom. His biggest
challenge and enjoyment was get-
ting that best deal at an auction. By
going to an auction with him, you
quickly learned the secrets of bid-
ding. . .eye ball the crowd real good
as to who you are up against, nev-
er talk with your hands or you’ll end
up taking something home you
don’t want, and of course, bidding
up something you really don’t want,
but don’t want it to go too cheap.
Because of his children, the
grandchildren started to come. With
every new addition
to his family, the
sparkle in his eyes
would get brighter
with each birth.
Some of the grand—
son’s were blessed
with summertime
work with their
grandpa. They
learned powerful
lessons of hard
work, and how to
“get the lead out”.
He shared with them that he didn’t
worry about dying. He told them
that God has a plan, and when he
turned the page in his book and if
your name was on it, it was your
day. Ifit wasn’t, you lived to see an—
other day. His page finally came as
he must have done everything God
needed him to do. He also stressed
that if you know what something is
worth, don’t settle for less. And, a
half ton pickup will haul a ton.
In 1990, Eldon left the Park Riv-
er farm and moved to Thief River
Falls, MN, to be with his new
bride, Margaret, and live out the rest
of his life. Together they enjoyed
their farm life and yard work, trav-
eled when they could, and of
course, Eldon continued to sneak in
an auction or two. Eldon spoke
highly of his new community of
fiiends, his church, and his new ad—
dition of more children and grand—
children.
On 11-15-19, Eldon left many
loved ones behind, but was wel-
comed with open arms by those that
preceded him. We will hold our
memories close to our hearts, and
will retell our stories over and
over when our families gather, and
as new generations are added.
A Celebration of Life will be
held in May on the family farm in
Park River, ND. This will allow for
our wide spread family, and fiiends,
to arrange plans to be there.
