CHARLES A. THOMSON, of Kearny, Hudson County, is the son of Charles R. Thomson and Elizabeth Epslan and was horn in Arbotah, Forfarshire, Scotland, December 7, 1864. His parents were both natives of Scotland, where the subject of this sketch received his education.

Mr. Thomson came to this country in 1888, lauding in New York City. He went thence to Passaic, N. J., and four months later removed to Newark, where he lived for several years. He then removed to Kearny, Hudson County, where he still resides, and where he is engaged in the machine business, manufacturing stonecutting and breadmaking machinery. In this line of industry he has developed great inventive genius and is the originator and patentee of a number of important machines and appliances. He learned his trade with his brother, who owns one of the largest machine shops in Edinboro, Scotland, and in following it as his life-work has achieved eminent success. He is very progressive, always trying to improve machinery, and gaining in this respect the reputation of making some of the greatest improvements in breadmaking machinery in existence.

In politics Mr. Thomson is a Republican. He belongs to the Plymouth Brethren Church, and for a number of years has taken an active interest in local affairs. He was married, April 26, 1894, to Margaret C. Girgan, of Glasgow, Scotland, daughter of John and Margaret (Carson) Girgan. They have two children: Charles and Margaret.
