Mary was the daughter of Gilford Dudley Malcolm and Anna Jane Harkin Malcolm Miller. She married Okey "Buster" Delone Compton.
From the diaries of son Dudley Delone Compton:
"Mary Malcolm Compton was a very pretty daughter of a coal miner who sang Scottish songs to her four boys and often read to them at night. She did not read just to entertain them, but to fire their imaginations and inspire them to be more than men who spent their days deep in the earth taking out coal for people's furnaces in homes and factories in faraway places."
Mary was the founder of Mercer County Crippled Children's Society and was on the Board of Directors of the Salvation Army in Princeton. She and Buster resided in Princeton, West Virginia since 1948, having moved there from Raleigh County. In 1950, she was a census enumerator.
