-Special Thanks to cousin Wreatha Linn for allowing me to copy photos of the reunion and for helping in identifying several of our ancestors-
BACKGROUND
The Campbell family reunion occurred on 8 Oct 1911, probably at Campbell
Chapel. This event was attended by a great number of descendants of the
original Albert Campbell who came to Fountain County, Indiana with his
children in the 1820s.
At least two group pictures were taken on that day. I have copied both
for this site.
The first I was able to copy from an original photograph (original is only about 5"x7" in size). It appears to be the main group photo of all descendants. The second was copied from a "xerox" and is, therefore, of poor quality. However, it appears to be a photo of the descendants of John Campbell, son of Albert. My evaluation of these photos is strictly based on the people whose identities have been established in the photographs and their lineage.
It is not known if other group pictures were taken on that day as there were several major family lines (MURDOCK, MINOR, Bake CAMPBELL). These major branches plus the John CAMPBELL branch included many other surnames including but not limited to: BRANT; COATS; DEARING; EPPERSON; FRENCH; TAYLOR;
IDENTIFY PEOPLE IN THE PHOTOS AND DESIGN OF THIS PART OF SITE
Where possible other identified family photos have been used to identify participants in the reunion photo. Wreatha Linn who knew some of these people when she was a child helped significantly in identifying several other people. Where identification is not 100% certain, I have indicated current evaluation in a pecentage (example 80% sure of identity).
When "clicking" to these pictures, please be patient. The main reunion picture files are fairly large in an effort to provide the best quality possible (they are in jpg). Once you get to the page with the large photo, links will be offered to display segments of the main picture. I have done this to help focus on fewer faces and thus improve identification.
I am hoping by sharing these pictures that we descendants can eventually identify most, if not all, of our ancestors in the photos. If you can help identify anyone in these photos or if you have other photos of Campbell descendants which you can share, PLEASE E-MAIL ME. Your help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
