AT HWY. 30 INTERSECTION Across from Safeway in College Station Dewey Compton, 3 of family killed in local plane crash THE BATTALION TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1976 Page 3 Dewey Compton, a popular farm editor, and three members of his family were killed Saturday when the small plane they were traveling in crashed five miles southwest of College Station in Burleson County. Killed in the crash with the 49- year-old Compton were his wife, Curtis Perry Compton, 49; their son, Ronnie Compton, 25; and Ronnie’s wife, Sara Hart Compton, 27. Dewey and Ronnie Compton originated farm programming from KTRH radio in Houston. Their popular early-morning program, “Garden Line,” featured expert ad vice to listeners with agricultural problems. Compton also did an early morning farm show. Hal Kemp, Compton’s employer, said the Comptons had flown to Col lege Station to pick up some plants that Compton was going to place in an Israeli exhibit at the State Fair in Dallas. Kemp is station manager at station KTRH in Houston where Compton had worked since 1953. Ronnie Compton was piloting the single-engine Piper Apache and ap parently became disoriented in a heavy rain and fog, according to Burleson County Department of Public Safety officer Ralph Mutch- ler. Mutchler said that visibility was very poor in the College Station area when the Comptons’ plane took off from Easterwood Airport in College Station shortly before 7:25 a.m. Saturday. A Federal Aviation Administra tion (FAA) spokesman in Fort Worth said the cause of the crash was unde termined and that National Trans portation Safety Board officials are investigating. Compton was born in Rusk County. After graduating from high bob’s green thumb nurseru school in 1944, he was an artillery man in the Army for three years. Compton married Curtis in 1947, the same year he entered Texas A&M University. He graduated with honors in 1949 with a degree in animal husbandry. His son Ronnie was also an A&M graduate. Compton got into radio about 1951. In 1953, he became farm editor at KTRH radio. Compton is the author of two gar den books and published Dewey Compton’s Gardening Newsletter and Old Dew’s Gardening Almanac. H e was the recipient of many awards, including the 1958 American Farm Bureau’s annual radio-TV award for “outstanding interpreta tion of agriculture to the American public.” Survivors are a son, Kerry, 21, a student here at A&M, and a daugh ter, Kathy, 17.
