Elias COMPTON was born on 3 August 1856 in Glendale, Hamilton, OH. Elias Compton was born on the arm homestead of his grandfather, also named Elias Compton on Mill Creek, near present Glendale, Ohio (just north of Cincannati). His father was Wilson Compton. When Elias was bout five years and eight months old, his father bought a farm about a mile from Monroe and seven miles out of Middletown (both in Butler Co., Ohio.) This is where Elias spent his boyhood.
When Elias was 19 years old, the took a 22 week course the National Normal University in Lebanon, Ohio and, certificate in Hand, was ready to begin a teaching career. The was a vancy at the one-room Woodsdale school.
Sameul Augspurger was on the committee to seek the new teacher, and Elias met his daughter, Otelia, on his day of interview. He was offered the teaching post two weeks later. Otelia was to be one of his students. She and her four younger brothers were all Elias' students in the school year 1875-1876.
In September, 1876, Otelia enered Western Female Seminary in Oxford, Ohio (later Western College for Women, and incorporated into Miami University, Ohio, a few years ago.) Otelia wanted to be a missionary, and she graduated in 1886. It took her ten years since she was not a full time student.
Elias was the valedictorian of the class of 1881 of the University of Wooster (now Wooster College,) which he entered four years earlier after his short teaching career at Woodsdale. The fall of 1881, Elias Compton entered Western Theological Seminary in Allegheny, near Pittsburgh. He was first in his class for two years, and was starting his third year when he was asked to come back to Wooster to teach for a year due to sudden illness of a faulty member, and he went. At the end of 1883-1884 school year, he was asked to remain, which he did. (There is no validated record that he was ever ordained into the Presbyterian ministry, nor that he ever served a congregation as a minister as indicated in some accounts.) The wedding of Elias and Otelia fell on Elias' 30th birthday. The rites were performed in the home of Otelia, just outside Woodsdale, by the Reverend A. A. E. (Archibald Alexander Edward) Taylor, D.D., L.L.D., second President of the College of Wooster.
The Compton's first child, Karl Taylor Compton was born September 15, 1887. His name is of interest, and shows just how closethe the Compton's were tied to Wooster: Karl for Karl Merz who established the music department at Wooster in 1881, and Taylor for the Presbyterian minister, and past college president who married the two.
For those interested in the history of the Compton Family "The House on College Street" by James R. Blackwood is requiered reading, and is the source of much of the preceding notes. The book was published in the late 1960's by MIT Press, and is out of print, but might be available in a larege library. It has many fascinating facts about the family, only a few of which are included in these notes. It also has the birth and marriage dates for most of the children and their mates. There are many other fascinating anecdotes about the Compton family in the book.
