It is with a sad and broken heart and by the help of the Lord, I'll try and write this obituary of my grandmother, Sarah H. Compton. Sarah (Hopkins) Compton was born August 19, 1899 at Yeager Kentucky. She departed this life October 23, 1983. Making her stay here on earth 84 years 2 months and 4 days.
At the age of 16, Granny was united in marriage to the late Ezra Compton who preceeded her in death on August 8, 1946. To this union were born seven children, five boys and 2 girls. The sons are Sollie Compton, Dewey Compton and Charlie Compton, all of Little Creek, Kentucky. Kermit Compton who precede her in death on March 19, 1976, which left Granny once again with a broken heart. The daughter's are Fannie Mae Bentley and Nannie Rae Bentley both of Little Creek, Kentucky. Granny had 28 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild
-In 1948, Granny joined the Old Regular Baptist Church where she was a faithful member for 35 years, although she didn't get to fill her seat as others did, she always loved the Lord and put her faith and trust in him. The Lord reached down his hand on Sunday, October 23, 1983, and picked a beautiful flower, that he needed for his garden.
I feel that Granny is resting with Jesus and she is not suffering anymore. Granny's home is so sad and lonely since God called her away. Her children miss her so much. We all miss her sweet little smile, her loving eye's and those tiny little hands that touched our face's so very gently.
God blessed us with a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She always wanted her children close beside her. Thanks be to God he granted us the one blessing of being able to be by her side when she passed from this world. We'll always love you Granny and we miss you so much, but by the Grace of God, we'll all meet you again some sweet day. You were my rose Granny. A wonderful rose of my life and I miss you so. But Granny you left us with such beautiful memories, such precious memories that we'll always treasure.Written by her loving granddaughter,
Shirley (Bentley) Ward

Alvin Hall worked as a coal loader for Elkhorn Collieries Corporation until he was pinned under a slate fall on 2 November 1939. The accident occurred in a mine at Farraday, Letcher County, KY.
