Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Henry M. Thompson. He was born in England about 1820 or 1821 and immigrated to the United States. He married Mary A. (__), a native of the District of Columbia. From the birthplaces of his children on the 1860 census, he spent time in New York and Wisconsin in the 1850s. He was a missionary in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, and also in Milwaukee in 1856-1857. By 1859, he came to Bristol, Indiana, and was settled as rector of St. John's. He also served concurrently at St. Mark's, Lima. He remained in Bristol through 1862, left to serve St. Mark's exclusively, and then returned in 1867, resigning from St. Mark's, and closing out his rectorate in Bristol in 1871. Where he went after this date and where he died is not known.
