 Major Compton for many years prac- ticed law in Selma and is said to have drawn more wills than any other at torney in Alabama, a notable feature being that not single one was ever broken.

 At the opening of the civil war Major Compton enlisted in the Fourth Geor- gia infantry and served until Presi- dent Jefferson Davis appointed him an officer in the regular Confederate army giving him rank of first lieutenant This appointment was known as "ca- detship" and was one of just a few made by President Davis.
 The first year of the war was spent in Virginia, where he was attached to Featherston's staff as an ordnance of ficer with the rank of captain. While in this position he handled all muni- tions used in the siege of Vicksburg, surrendering after this historic siege.
 In the early part of 1884 he was exchanged and transferred to the ar senal at Selma, where he was in full charge of all ordnance supplies and munitions. While at Selma he was given his rank of major remainjn 2 still in command of the ordnance de- yartment.
 Soon after the close of the war Major Compton married Miss Ada Norris of Selma, four children resulting from this union. Two of them are still alive Vet; William Norris Compton of New York, and Mrs. Frederick H. Coleman of Selms
