Compton family (Tomah, Wis.)

Hide Profile

L.M. (Lindley M.) Compton was the first superintendent of the Tomah Indian Industrial School in Tomah, Wis. He was born in the late 1800's and died circa 1928. He was married to Elva Compton, and they had three children: Donald "Don" E. Compton, Charles "Chuck" Compton, and Ruth Compton. It appears that the family owned property in Indiana and Louisiana, but their primary residence in the early twentieth century was Tomah, Wis. All of the Compton children attended the University of Wisconsin--Madison and later lived in the upper Midwest.
