    James H. Dempsey served the Union in the civil war. He enrolled in August 1862, at Adams County, Illinois, was honorably discharged at Baton Rouge, La.  on Oct. 1, 1865 and returned to Illinois. After one year he removed to Audrain County, Mo, settling near Thompson's Station, now the village of Thompson. 
     According to an affadavit in his pension packet, dated April 7, 1890, he took sick with "Rumatism" near Milligan's Bend, La. and then was taken prisoner at Ramond, Mississippi, where he was hospitalized.
     He died August 24, 1907 and is buried at McDonald Cemetery near Thompson. The tombstone inscription indicates that he was a Confederate soldier and although the names are identical, the dates are incorrect. Documentation exists proving that the remains of James H. Dempsey rests here and that he was a Union veteran.
