I didn't realize that Compton spent the last years of his life in Laurel, Maryland. So did my great-uncle, Joseph Riley Huntt, who was the infant in arms at our home on the night of the assassination when the family heard riders going by about 1 am as he was being nursed.

Uncle Joe became a doctor and relocated to Laurel to serve its people, but also was the railroad's doctor. He lived on Prince George Street. I wonder how close that is to Washington Street where the Comptons lived? They must have known each other.
