Hubert G. Compton , a well known and successful farmer of Lot 17, was born at St. Eleanor's, Prince Edward Island , on June 20, 1831, a son of Major Thomas C and Hannah (Jeffrey) Compton, both natives of England , the latter born on the Isle of Wight. The paternal grandfather, Hon . Harry Compton , also a native of England , came to Prince Edward Island in 1804, bringing with him one son and a daughter, his wife having died at an early day. They located on Lot 17, in St. Eleanor's district, he being an officer in the British army. In recognition of his valuable services rendered in this branch (two brothers having lost their lives in the rebellion of 1798, in which he took part) he was given Lot 17, and located his home near , giving his place the name of "The Pavilion" in recogni¬ tion of a building which he erected from ma¬ terial brought from England . He continued to reside on this estate until about 1826, though he had already disposed of the Mis- couche district, then returned to Europe, lo¬ cating in , where he made his home until his death. Prior to that event he made over the balance of his property to his son, the subject's father. The latter was the only living son when he came to Prince Edward Island , and made his home on the estate dur¬ ing his life. He was prominent in his com¬ munity and served as a member of the local assembly for a number of years.

He received his education in a pri¬ vate school in Chartottetown, and also under the instructions of a private tutor. He then clerked for Theophilus Chappell at St. Elean¬ or's for some time and then, in partnership with his cousin, Charles Compton , engaged in business at St Eleanor's in which they continued a short time. Mr. Compton then engaged in fanning on the old homestead, in which line he has since been successfully en¬ gaged. On the 13th of November, 1854, Mr. Compton married Miss Mary Pope Thomas , a native of Prince Edward Island and the daughter of Captain Ewen Thomas , a native of Waterford , Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. Compton celebrated their golden wed¬ ding in 1904, the occasion being a very en¬ joyable one.
