- 1947 obit for her husband Ernest Compton
Summerside Journal 5 June 1947, page 2, col. 5
Mr. Ernest Compton Friends and relatives heard with surprise and regret the passing Sunday morning at [9?] o'clock of Mr. Ernest Compton at the age of 86 years. He was a life long resident of St. Eleanors, where last September he celebrated his Golden Wedding Anniversary. Though never of robust health, still he was always up and about his home until about a week before his death when even with the best of medical attention and loving care he gradually became weaker, until the end came on the above date.
He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, the former Gertrude Mills of St. Eleanors; also two sons and two daughters, namely: Halden and Creelman of St. Eleanors; (Marie) Mrs. Bert Brown of Sherbrooke, P.E.I., and (Jean), Mrs. Paul Kristiansen of St. Eleanors; also 11 grandchildren.
The funeral which was largely attended took place Tuesday, May 13th, from his home to St. John's Church, St. Eleanors. The Rev. G. R. Harrison officiated at the house and grave. The hymns sung were "Nearer My God To Thee" and "Breathe On Me Breath of God". The pallbearers were Ralph Compton, Fred Mills, Horace Mills, Kenneth Mills, Nelson Compton and Earl Cannon. He was the last of the family of ten of the late Edmund Compton and his wife Mary Jane (Tanton) Compton.

In the same area - Jessie's sister Ada and her brother Arthur also settled along with my grandfather's brother George Robblee. My father Kenneth Robblee, my uncle Victor and my aunt Vera were born in Saskatchewan. After the WWII, my father, uncle and aunt moved to London, Ontario while my grandparents went back to the "Island".
