    3. Hello, I am new to this list and am looking for information on the "Compton" Cemetery in Hoquiam. My great grandmother Ruth Anna Cadwalader Tovrea was buried there in 1936. Recently a fellow genealogist and some friends visited the cemetery. There are only about 4 or 5 graves there as it was on private property. The graves have sunk and there is only one headstone remaining. The other stones have either sunk as well or have been stolen. Does anyone have any information on the cemetery, and the family that owned it? To my knowledge, Ruth Anna was not related to anyone named Compton, and according to her death certificate one of the causes of death was "senility" so I am fairly sure she was not an employee. The only stone found read "George W Yount, born 1887 and died 1936." I do not know who this person is either. Any information would be appreciated. Gladys Tovrea-Brandstoettner wbrand@gj.net
