Notes

a note from albert harold campbell (george and marys grandson)
Posted 09 Apr 2012 by Christine Campbell
per Al:
I have only seen that picture once in my life. It was in Uncle Ralphs photo album about 72 years ago. I barley remember My grandmother Mary. She used to bake the best rolls and bread. Also if you look up KING JEROME CAMPBELL on GOOGLE you will see picture of my great grandfather. Along with a letter he wrote to Pres. Abe Lincoln. King had thirteen children, I was named after one of the twins. King Campbell was a drummer boy in the Civil War, Grandma Mary's father was also a drummer boy. Him I remember. I have a picture of me setting on his lap when I was about one old or so.
