Leslie Lindsay, a writer with ties to Adair Co., shares this old photo that she thinks dates to the 1940s:

At far Left: (Lee) Russell Compton
Middle: Harlan Riley Compton b. 1905 (son of George Henry Compton and Louvenia Carp Coomer Compton)
Middle Right: Cora Belle Compton Hyden b. 1894 (daughter of George Henry Compton and (Nancy) Alice Gosser Compton d. 1898)
Far Right: (Henry) Burton "Bert" Compton b. 1903 (son of George Henry Compton and Louvenia Carp Coomer Compton)

Leslie writes, "If you happen to have a guess on the dates or locations of these photos, please let me know. I plan to be in Adair County April 8-10 for additional research, and perhaps to find the (remains) of any homes where my ancestors may have resided." Comments | Permalink
