OBITUARY
Page 4, DEATHS
     Minor Peyton COMPTON, a retired farmer, and one of the most widely known 
men of Breckinridge County, died at his home in Hardinsburg at 1:30, Thursday, 
July 18, 1929, following a stroke of paralysis.
     Mr. COMPTON had been in ill health for several years, but had only been 
confined to his bed some five weeks.  His condition had been critical for 
several days, and his death was not unexpected.  His entire family was at his 
bedside when death came.
     Mr. COMPTON was born December 22, 1852.  He was married to Miss Laura 
SEATON 52 years ago.  She, with three children survive.  They are:
Mrs. I. B. RICHARDSON, wife of the Vice President of the Farmers Bank & Trust 
Company of Hardinsburg, Ky.
Russell R. COMPTON, former owner of the Hardinsburg Automobile Company of 
Hardinsburg, Ky.
Paul COMPTON, President of the Federal Fidelity Company of Louisville, Ky. in 
Jefferson County.
     At the age of 18 years, Mr. COMPTON united with the Baptist Church of 
this county, and for the past many years, his name has been familiar to those 
of the denomination to the remotest part of Breckinridge and adjoining 
counties, having entered this line of work early in life,.  Mr. COMPTON 
devoted much of his time and attention to the promotion of religious 
activities, and became an outstanding leader.  For more than 20 years he was 
moderator of Old Goshen Baptist Association, and for a number of years was 
moderator of the Breckinridge Baptist Association.  He was a resident of 
Garfield a number of years where he owned and operated a farm.  He retired 10 
years ago, and moved to Hardinsburg.
