- 1909 news item published in the Charlottetown Guardian, Apr 24, 1909, pg 5, col 1
“Important Provincial News of the week for Saturday Subscribers. Wednesday. …
The annual meeting of the congregation of St John’s Church, St. Eleanor’s was held on Easter Monday, Rev. F.M. Webster presiding. The church wardens’ accounts when all liabilities were paid showed a credit balance. The following were elected Vestrymen for the ensuing year:- Sydney Richardson, Frederick Compton, Albert Tanton, William Andrew, Horace Andrew, Benj. Mills, Henry Compton and R. R. Hunt. Wardens - William Andrew and Henry Compton, Delegates to D.C.S. - Major Jones and Sydney Richardson; Delegates to D.S. - the Church Wardens; Substitutes - J. R. Forbes and Herbert Andrews, Halifax. During the past year an excellent organ was purchased and paid for. Some other improvements to the church were also provided for.”

RESEARCH NOTES:
- usually called Henry - name originally entered as Charles Henry Compton
- probably moved to the US - Rose found a likely candidate in 1900 census, Omaha City, Douglas, Nebraska, enum dis 0078, 3B, 70, 73, 1240924, Sheet 01031:
Henry C Compton, head, born Jun 1861 Canada Eng immigrated 1893, in country 7 years, married, Dealer (Flour & Feed?).
Dalstrom Comtpon, wife, born Sep 1869, age 30, in Sweden, immigrated 1888 (12 years)
(no others in household - street name might have been Woolark(?) Ave)
This move makes sense as his father Charles Spencer and his second wife Emily moved to Nebraska in 1880. Henry could have followed later or traveled with him.

if so, his marriage is found on IGI Batch M714513 (1892-1893), Source 0870047 IT 1-2:
Henry Charles Compton married Selma Augusta Dahlstrom on 10 May 1893, Douglas Nebraska USA
Charles Henry* married Selma Augusta DAHLSTROM. Born in Sep 1869 in Sweden.

- parents born in Sweden
- immigrated to US in 1888
- listed as Dalstrom Compton in 1900 census
