Well, here are a couple of more references to him. If you could aquire a copy of these then at least we would have a bit more to go on. One source said his name was Alfred.
Thiessen, A.H., and J.C. Alter. 1911. Climatological Data for July, 1911: District No. 10, Great Basin. Monthly Weather Review July 1911:1082-1089.
Brooks, C.F. & A.H. Thiessen 1939. The meteorology of great floods in the eastern United States. Extract Smiths. Inst. Ann. Rep. 1938; pp. 325-348, 19 fig. No wrps., 8vo. fl. 6,00
A search on Alfred Thiessen does provide this biography which seems to fit well: http://www.history.noaa.gov/bios/wea5bio101.htmlhttp://www.history.noaa.gov/bios/wea5bio101.html
