Historical information

John William Crompton was the only son of the youngest son of Joseph and Susan Crompton. John's father was 52 years old when John was born in 1937, 97 years after his grandfather was born. John grew up in Back Valley at 'Rivington'. His mother died in 1949 and he found himself a boarder at Prince Alfred College. In the next five years of his life 'Stonyfell' became his weekend refuge. His three maiden aunts (Lucy, Pat and Het) and Uncle Tom made sure that he was well looked after. [Source: Burnside Historical Society Newsletter, June 2007].
