*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, February 12, 1920
COMPTON, Ela BOYD - Mrs. Ela Compton died last Wednesday afternoon at New Orleans, the result of pneumonia following a severe attack of the grippe. Her father, John R. Boyd of Rogers, who had reached New Orleans that morning, brought the body back to Rogers, arriving here Saturday. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. C.C. Cunningham. Mrs. Compton was a well known young woman of Rogers and was especially popular in the Baptist church circles where she was superintendent of the primary department and a willing and efficient worker in all departments. She had worked for several years in the newspaper offices of Rogers as a compositor and at the time of her death was in New Orleans in the special school of the Merganthaler Linotype Co., studying to become a machine operator. She was a member of the Eastern Star and the Rebekah orders. Her untimely death, she was only 26, was a great blow to the family and to the many friends.
