LUCAS THOMASSON, son of John P. Thomasson, of John Thomasson and Son, millowners, Bolton, was born on the 21st February, 1868.
After studying at Owens College, Manchester, he was engaged during 1888 and 1889 in his father's cotton mills, and in extending, by private reading and tuition, his knowledge of the theory of engineering.
In 1890 he took the third year's course in engineering under Professor Unwin at the Central Institution of the City and Guilds of London Institute, and in 1891 he entered the works of Yarrow and Co at Poplar. While there his health broke down, and he had to give up work for a time.
In 1893 he was able to carry out the refitting and re-organization of the repairing shop at Messrs. Thomasson and Son's factory, and to superintend the introduction of various machinery, but owing to continued ill-health he was from that time not in a position to undertake regular work. He died on the 3rd October, 1898, at Hawkshead House, Hatfield. Mr. Thomasson was elected an Associate Member on the 2nd May, 1893.
