This web page is about the family shown above. The family began in 1892 with the wedding in Des Moines, Iowa, of George Alexander Campbell (GAC) and Luna May Jameston (LMJ). George was born in Ontario, and May in Illinois. They met as students at Drake University when both were 18 years old.

The two family photos were made in St. Louis, Missouri, on Christmas Day 1937 (50 years after their meeting and 45 years after their wedding). By then, the family numbered 19 people: George and May (now 68 years old), five adult children, three sons-in-law, two daughters-in-law, and seven grandchildren.

Their names (from left to right in the dinner table photo) are Bob McCartney, Rosabelle Campbell McCartney, Ed Lollis (forehead only), Harriet May Campbell, Rachel Davis Campbell, Mary Whaley Campbell, Jane Campbell, Charlie McCartney, Joan Auer, Mary Evalyn Campbell Auer (MECA), Jim Auer, George Campbell II, Jean McCartney, Edward Jameson (Jamie) Campbell, May Campbell, George Campbell, Georgia May Campbell Lollis (GMCL) (my mother) & Ted Lollis (yours truly). Missing from the dining table photo is photographer Robert Alexander Campbell (RAC). Missing from the stairway photo is Charlie McCartney (who probably took the photo).

Part I - GAC, LMJC, Their Descendants & Spouses:

In 1907, George and nine other members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) founded a summer colony (Campbell Park) in Pentwater, Michigan, and he and May started building Argyle Cottage overlooking Lake Michigan. In 1948 and again in 1958, two of the five siblings (Rosabelle & Robert) left the cottage partnership, but descendants of other three siblings (Jamie, Georgia May & Mary Evalyn) are still involved, and "units of beneficial interest" in the family trust are currently owned by 17 different households residing in seven states (FL, IL, MA, MO, NH, OH and TN). Annual visits to the cottage and the work involved in its upkeep have keep members of the third and fourth generations in far closer contact than they might otherwise have been.

Sometime around the turn of the 20thy century, May Jameson Campbell (LMJC) started recording the names and vital statistics of every family member with whom she and George had any contact or knowledge. In the 1920's, my mother (GMCL) started helping by typing May's records, and, when May died in 1940, GMCL took over the role of family scribe. In 1982, I inherited and digitized their records, and I have tried ever since -- with increasing difficulty -- to make note of every birth, death, marriage, divorce, and significant other.

On May 28-30, 2005, the family held a reunion in St. Louis, and in 2007 Campbell Park celebrated its centennial. Extensive souvenir books were created for both occasions. All branches of the Campbell family contributed photos and antedotes, and I printed 13 geneological charts. The extended family of 19 pictured above had grown to 178 men, woman & children. (This total includes18 dead but does not include the children of previous marrages of five spouses -- Kamman, Wulff, Schleichter, Chadwick & Haliburton-Cohen.)

Part I of this web page shows only the 80 members of the family's first, second, third & fourth generations. For privacy reasons, I have NOT copied any informtion from the two books. All photos shown below are from my own files or from open sources on the internet. Of course I would welcome additional photos to make this record as complete as possible.

Part II - Our Ancestors, Cousins & Family Friends:

George Campbell was the youngest of ten siblings, and May Jameson was the oldest of four sisters. So the family has always had lots of aunts, uncles & cousins. Here is a family tree naming their four parents & eight grandparents (note that George's parents & four grandparents were all born in Scotland & died in Canada):

Every pair on the tree had many siblings and other descendants, and of course there are many, many living descendants of even earlier generations. George, May, and their five adult children kept up with their far-flung cousins remarkably well. And I have tried to maintain this tradition by visiting or corresponding with living cousins in five provinces (AL, BC, MB, ON and SK), at least fourteen states (CA, FL, IA, ID, IL, IN, MD, NJ, NM, NY, OR, PA, WA and WV), DC, and Scotland (plus historic sites in KS, KY, MI and WV).

Displayed below are photos and internet links of 102 cousins and ancestors for whom I have found publicly available information. I have included (and indicated by underlining their names) a few folks who are not blood relatives but who have, for one reason or another, taken an interest in our family history and contributed to our common knowledge.

I have also included seven sucessive Dukes of Argyll (7th through 13th), not that I put any particular store on the so-called Clan Campbell and its Chief, but they do draw the interest of some Argyle Cottage descendants, the Clan and Dukedom are institutions without end, and several of us in different generations have actually sought to meet the Duke, visited his castle in Inverary, and/or joined the Clan Campbell Society in North America.

Part III - Some Personal Sketches:

I compiled this entire web page before I realized that Parts I and II are pretty sterile. Mug shots and dates do not make family history come alive. Part III is intended to correct this lapse, at least in part.

Here are thirteen personal sketches of a just a few of the cousins it's been my privilege to meet along the way and whose company I have throughly enjoyed (quite apart from any new family history we have been able to find and record -- that that has been considerable). These people lived (or still live) in eight states (CA, IA, IL, MD, NJ, NY, OR & WV), two provinces (MB & ON), and Scotland. Most did not know each other, and I somehow feel obliged to bring them together, if only on a web page. I sincerlely hope that you enjoy meeting them. I only wish that that we could all meet in person.

Eight of the cousins presented below are from the Campbell side of the family tree, and five are from the Jameson side:

Campbell Side
(Including Green, Hamilton, McLarty, McMillan, McTavish/Thompson, Sinclair, Smith)


Silver Spring
Maryland
Cleta Hope Campbell Whitehead [1893-1999], Columbia, Maryland, USA
Seems to have been present at every stage of our family's history. Born in Yakima, WA. Lived for a while in Manitoba. Married Gil Whitehead in 1923 in Los Angeles. Lived there during WW-II (when she took in my first cousin Harriet May Campbell Murphy while her husband Bud was in the Pacific theater). Corresponded extensively with my mother (GMCL). Her father Ed was GAC's brother and a widower 1942-1954. He visited Pentwater repeatedly, and I remember when the old man cut a path across our lot to connect the two Ames cottages more directly. Cleta's daughter Virginia Hope died in 1963, and Gil died in 1980. Cleta lived with her grand daughter Bonnie Hope Mattingly in Skaneateles, NY, and Columbia, MD. Schera & I met her there. We took her to McDonalds, and she told stories about things that happened "when there weren't any cars." She showed us her diary proving that I met her twice in Riverdale, MD, in 1963 (once with all four members of the Campbell family from Barrington, IL). The photo shows Cleta and me in her nursing home in Silver Spring, MD, on her 105th birthday. We had a wake for Cleta in the Baltimore apartment of Bonnie and Charles (Tot) Woolston (same building as Richey Sharrett who was my best man in Louisiana). The wake was attended by Cleta's other grand daughter and by Justin Bloom who grew up next door to Cleta in LA and whom I'd known at the US Embassy in London, England. Cleta's obituary in the Yakima Herald-Republic quoted Janet Nelson Campbell, widow of James Malcolm Campbell [1925-1996], as saying "She was like the core of the family that held everything together." In 1993, Janet had organized a "four hearts" reunion in Yakima for Cleta, Douglas Lloyd Campbell of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ralph Peter Campbell of Wapato, WA, and Mary Evalyn Campbell Auer Wulff of Miami, FL.



Smith-Pratt
Prospect
New York
John Butler Pratt [1920-2004], Elm Flats Road, Hinckley, New York, USA
After visiting Canada and Scotland, I still didn't know why our Campbell ancestors emigrated to upstate New York in 1821. One day in 1998 I happened to read "Map and Information [c.1954] from George P. Smith [1883-1972]" on page 48 of "The Campbells from Auchindrain" (1970), and George's note for spot 5 said "Duncan and Isabel (Leitch) Smith settled here in 1822...house occupied by John Pratt...; most of the [former farmland is now] planted in pine." I Googled John's name and dialed the resulting phone number. He answered, simple as that. We agreed to meet 2-3 weeks later at a restaurant in one of the small towns near his home. When we got in the vicinity, Schera and I had time to kill, so we drove around and noticed a rural Unitarian church. As we admired it, a gentleman (wearing a WW-II air corps cap) walked over and asked if we'd like to see the interior of the 1817 building. That was John. Afer lunch, we drove to his home near Hinckley (site of the reservoir sited higher than the Erie Canal so it can feed canal water to flow in both directions). John showed me a shoe box labeled "Old Letters." He didn't know any of their authors or addressees. I knew many including Isaac Campbell [1853-1929] of Ontario and later Manitoba. The best of the lot was a letter addressed to Scotland in 1812 but never sent because the War of 1812 unexpectedly interrupted mail service. Thus I learned why the two Campbell families moved to Herkimer County, NY, in 1821. Their Smith siblings were mailing positive reports back to Scotland, but they had to wait until after the war before they could follow the Smiths to America. I transcribed and put the texts of many letters on my first family history web page. John's wife Mary died in 1991. John already had his name (and WW-II rank) engraved on their "Smith Pratt" tombstone in nearby Prospect, NY (see image). When we knew him, he was luckly enough to share his life with widow Laura Sawyer. John collected miniature steam engines. He had a photo showing cows grazing next to the house in what is now pine forest. When we drove the NY Thruway en route to Washington state in 2001, we phoned John and Laura repeatedly, but their line didn't answer, so we passed by. Later we learned that they had been seriously injured by running off a mountain road at night. In March 2014, I discovered that John wrote his own obituary and that someone (perhaps his only son David) posted it to the Find A Grave website after he died in 2004. I hope David has the priceless "Old Letters." But, even if he doesn't, I'm proud to have saved the texts of many.

Bob Smith [1928-], Linlithgow, Scotland
Bob was the curator of Open Air Museum in Auchindrain, Scotland, and I met him September 6, 1982, the moment I first entered Auchindrain on my first trip to Scotland very shortly after moving to London. I have never met a more enthusiastic interpreter of local history, and almost everying I ever learned about Scotland at the time our ancestors' emmigration (the decades of 1820-1830), I learned from Bob. (Bob did not like any of the Dukes of Argyll, and he described a class division which probably helps explain why our ancestors moved to America -- and which probably still determines why the Duke's elegant castle and the "folk life" museum are competitive rather than complementary tourist attractions today). Bob took a great interest in my story involving letters in 1884, my grandparents' visit in 1925, and their being shown by cousin John Campbell [1860-1947] from Furnace "the seat of the Campbells" (now Auchindrain's ruinous "building S"). The day after our meeting, I drove fourth cousin Margaret Urquhart [c.1904-c.1987] up from Furnace, and Bob took us on a complete tour of Auchindrain which I dutifully tape recorded (including bleets of a goat as we three stood on the walls of Building S). For all three years that I lived in London, Bob and I exchanged emails and letters. In the Spring of 1985, Vivian and I accompanied Mary Evalyn and George Wulff to Scotland, and Bob gave them a tour of Auchindrain. (For ME this was a repeat of the visit she had made with her parents 65 years before.) When Schera and I visited Scotland in October 2000, we made certain to visit Bob and his wife ___, by then retired to a council flat in Linlithgow (on the Motorway between Edinburgh and Glasgow). The four of us walked from the flat around Linlithgow Castle to their favorite Italian restaurant. Bob still did not have email, and I lost touch with him in later years. Of course I've Googled his name, but all I've learned is that he was a life long fisherman and the author of a book "There's Always a First Fish."

Douglas Argyle Campbell [1929-c.2007], Beverley Hills, California, USA
On November 5, 1966, my mother (GMCL) and father in Indiana were awakened by a late night phone call from New York City. This was Douglas Argyle Campbell starting an adventure which kept my parents, then me, guessing for 48 years -- until I started writing this web page in March 2014. Doug was born in Canada and was working for a securities firm in Montreal when his father died in 1950 leaving him the remainer of the fortune amased by his grandfather, Toronto miller (and senator) Archibald Campbell [1845-1913]. The first thing Doug did with his money was travel around the world and the second was enter Columbia University's graduate school. At Columbia, Doug advertised for an tutor in economics and hired Reynold M. Sachs who became a professional adviser and friend for the rest of his life -- and would become my informant in March 2014. At some point, Doug assumed that his surname would connect him to the Duke of Argyll and thence to British aristocracy, and he started hiring genelogists to prove the connecction. His quest led to Emily Campbell Price [1901-1982] in Vancouver, British Columbia, and in 1970 to her publication of "The Campbells from Auchindrain" (which is of course about as far down the Campbell pecking order as you can go). Doug, GMCL, and Emily exchanged family information for years, but he also mailed self-inflating publicity about his brokerage firm (from which I scanned his image). I met Doug only once. He showed up unannounced one Sunday morning in Bordeaux and demanded that I drive him (in my US government provided armored Opel) to the most expensive restaurant in town. In March 2002, Schera and I drove to his home at 1150 Brooklawn Drive in Beverley Hills, California, but we could not talk our way past his "housekeeper" Lupe Lopez. On March 21, 2014, I left a phone message at the Erich & Hannah Sachs Foundation in Yountville, Sonoma Valley, California and received long return phone calls first from Reynold and then from his daughter Caryn P. Sachs. They explained that Doug's sister had come to California (from a Buddhist nunnery in Korea), gained legal authority to dispose of his considerable property, and put him in a nursing home where he died unknowing and alone (Caryn estimates) sometime in 2007. Reynold and Caryn knew Doug far longer and better than I, but we share the same appreciation both of his egocentricism and of his generosity and uninhibited charm. Reynold told me about Doug's spending millions to construct a huge "Campbell Divertimento Fountain" designed by Mexican architect Luis Barragán [1902-1988] in the back yard of his home in home in Beverley Hills. I have created a new web page about Doug which you can access by clicking here.

Winnipeg, MB
Sonya Campbell Wright [1934-], Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Daughter of Douglas Lloyd Campbell [1895-1995], Manitoba premier [1948-1958], and wife of Walter Scott Wright, Manitoba judge [1973-2004]. Vivian and I met Sonya and Scott in London, and Sonya accompanied her father to my parents' 50th wedding anniversary in Indiana in 1983. Douglas' father John Howard Campbell [1852-1930] homesteaded the "Flee Island" farm north of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, in 1880. Doug grew up and entered politics there before moving to Winnipeg and achieving higher office. In 1980, Sonya organized a centennial reunion and drew a large chart to show Flee Island descendants. In 1993, she helped Janet Elise (Jan) Nelson Campbell (age 66) organize a "Four Hearts" reunion in Yakima, Washington, which honored four Campbell cousins -- Cleta Campbell Whitehead [b.1893], Douglas Lloyd Campbell [b.1895], Ralph Campbell [b.1901], and Mary Evalyn Campbell Auer Wulff [b.1912]. In 1995, she was helping organize a series of semi-public events for her father's 100th birthday, but he died just 34 days short of that goal, and the events were called off. Schera and I drove to Manitoba in 1998 and stayed several days with Sonya and Scott at their "farm" on a ridge with a view of endless plains near Neepawa in western Manitoba. A couple of years later, they drove to Pentwater, Michigan, and stayed with us in Argyle, our cottage with a view of the Fresh Water Sea. The image shows Sonya on the right and her sister Dwili Lynn (Dilly) Campbell Burns on the left. They have a large extended family in Winnipeg. Douglas and his wife Margret Gladys Victoria Crampton Campbell [1897-1987] are buried in the Ogletree Tract of Hillside Cemetery in Portage La Prairie, alongside many of our Campbell ancestors.

Gerald Archibald (Gere) Gillespie [1937-2001], RR#1, Highgate, Ontario, Canada
Somewhere I heard about Margret Isabel (Marg) Osborne Eberle, the librarian in the small Ontario town of Highgate, so I drove to Highgate and found her at home on a farm a few miles south. Marge was very much into family history, but her home was chaotic with her husband Jack, adult children, and grandchildren all seeming to be coming and going on different schedules. A calm presence among them was Jack Gillespie whose exact relationship to the Eberle household I could not figure out (and never did figure out). But, over several visits, Jack and I became fast friends. Jere's mother was Isabel Campbell Gillespie [1907-1984]. He had three former wives, three adult children, and six grandchildren (about whom I hardly ever learned anything). Why he lived in a small wing of the Eberle house I feared to ask why (so I never did). But Campbell history was Jere's forte, and we exchanged many emails over the years before his death at age 64. Jere was my foremost source of information about the geography of Kent County, and he had collected letters to and from Emile Campbell Price in Vancouver, BC. When I learned that Dr. James R. Button could show us the site of the Campbell mill at Klondyke just north of Morpeth, Jere accompanied us when we walked into the forest which now covers the remaining portion of the former mill dam and descended to see some chared timbers in the stream bed which Dr. Button said were remains of the mill itself. During our hike, Jere froze and pointed to a raccoon high in a tree which he'd spotted but I would never have seen. Jere seemed not ever to have heard of lower case, AND ALL OF HIS EMAILS LOOKED LIKE THIS. I entered everything he told me into my computerized database, but I never truly syntheized the multi-generation story of Campbells in Kent County. Someday I'm going to have to go through my Gillespie files and learn the full story.

Randy Campbell
Campbell Line
Blenheim, ON
Donald Randy Campbell [1954-] 10639 Campbell Line, Blenheim, Ontario, Canada
The families of two brothers, Peter Campbell [1775-1848] and Malcolm Campbell [1787-1862], emigrated from South Knapdale, Scotland, first in 1821 to Herkimer County, New York, and then in 1830 to southern Kent County, Ontario. Peter found land near Blenheim, and Malcolm found land near Morpeth (close enough, I imagine, to remain in touch more or less on a weekly basis). Most of Malcolm's descendants have left Kent County. Many of Peter's have stayed. I am a 2x great grandson of Malcolm, my blood line moved to Manitoba, then Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana. Randy is a 3x great grandson of Peter. His blood line has remained in Kent County for five generations. He works the same land and is still pursuing some aspect of dairy farming. Please forgive my city attitudes, but I find visiting Randy is like stepping back five generations. Cow milk became unprofitable a generation ago (as witnessed by empty barns all around Randy's farm), and Randy has had to work for a car dealership in Ridgetown to make ends meet. About ten years ago, he and his wife Carrie bought a herd of alpacas, and they infected Schera and me so much with their enthusiasm that she and I drove all the way to Ohio to attend an alpaca show and sale. Alpacas didn't turn out to be such a good investment, their bank foreclosed, and Randy feared that he would loose his ancestral land. When we visited him in August 2012, Carrie still had a few alpacas, but Randy had a new herd of goats which he milks twice day sending the milk to a cooperative dozens of miles away for fabrication into cheese. Randy gave us two bricks of goat cheese. Remarkably good. Better than anything we've been able to buy in stores. (His farhouse was surrounded by wild turkeys which, according to Randy, and been introduced a few years ago by a wildlife management agency and are now thriving.) I photographed Randy pointing to a prize ancestoral photo. This must be Robina Munro Campbell [1856-1919], his great grandmother, but I'll have to contact Randy to find out for sure.

Julie Anderson Kalwa [1965-], Pennington, New Jersey, USA
Juli emailed me on July 15, 1999. That's the benefit of having a website (of which I'm a BIG fan) and of using social media (which I've simply never gotten into). Schera and I just happened to be living 20.1 Google road miles from her home in Pennington, NJ. So we drove there 22 days later to meet Juli and her mother, Helen Johnson Laidlaw Anderson, who was born in Dunoon (44.3 road miles from Auchindrain) and provides Juli with many living cousins and contacts in Scotland (whom they regularly visit). Juli susequently fed me volumes of information about our common ancestors in ancient Scotland. Juli's father met her mother when he was in the US Navy and assigned to the Holy Loch submarine base. They married on Mackinaw Island, MI, in 1964, and Juli was born in St. Paul, MN, in 1965. She married Andrzej Krystof (Andrew) Kalwa (of Polish origin), and they now have a pet grooming business (Pet Spa) in Pennington. Pet Spa business. Juli drove down to Doylestown, Pennsylvania, to meet John Pratt & Laura Sawyer when they were our house guests. I took a photo of John and Juli together, but I cannot find it right now. So the photo shown here is a pet from Juli's Facebook page. How else could I work an adorable kitten onto this family history web page?

Roger W. Ingels [1936-], Galva, Illinois, USA
On Saturday afternoon, October 21, 1995, Schera and I drove into the tiny main square of LaFayette, Illinois. This had been the nest of my Ingels ancestors for 141 years. What we found were deserted streets and 4-5 empty store fronts. Clearly, all commercial llife had been sucked out of LaFayette (by a nearby Walmart?). On one side of the square was a lonely sign with an arrow pointing north and the words "To the Nursery." We followed the arrow and soon came across a cluster of buildings, one of which enclosed a small retail store with a single employee behind the counter. We exchanged introductions. The employee was Roger W. Ingels (age 59), the first human being we'd seen since coming to town. As soon as he learned who we were, Roger rushed to a wall where he proudly showed us photos of four generations of Ingels men, including his great grandfather James Ingels [1821-1883] who came from eastern Indiana and bought the land in 1854 and his grandfather Irvin Ingels [1859-1932] who started LaFayette Home Nursery in 1887. (Both of these ancestors met violent out-of-state deaths. James went deer (crocodile?) hunting in Florida and accidentally shot himself while trying to climb over a fence with his loaded rifle. Irvin was driving to visit his sister Mary Ingels De Guibert [1862-1932] in Maryland when his car crashed near Columbus, Ohio.) I have a letter which Roger's uncle James Ingels [1884-1973] mailed to my mother (GMCL) in 1944 along with a copy of the nursery's 58th annual catalog. I was stunned to be standing in the bosom of this old family enterprise. Roger was working, and we didn't find much to say to each other, but he led us to the LaFayette Cemetery to see the family graves. We took our leave of him there, but I kept in close contact with Roger for the next decade. And I followed the nursery's website. The nursery was trying, with seeming success, to specialize in native grasses and prairie restoration. The family was also trying to find someone to manage the greenhouse (and I tried to interest my first cousin Margaret Campbell). Then all went dark. The nursery and greenhouse suddenly disappeared from cyberview. Apparent victims of big corporations. I am no longer in touch with Roger, his wife Nancy (a realtor in Galva, IL), or any other Ingels in Illinois, and I wonder what happened to the fine Ingels home, the nursery grounds, and the adjoining greenhouse.

Austin Ingels


From Oriana's
New Age
Website

Gaar Austin Ingels [1922-2013], Beaverton, Oregon, USA
Gaar is an old family name from Richmond, Indiana, where the family manufactured steam engines and threshing machines 1842-1911 and where the 1876 Gaar Mansion is a primary tourist attraction. (Austin's great great grandmother was Rosa Gaar [1803-1877].) But my friend Austin went by his middle name. He grew up in LaFayette, Illinois, and was very much part of his family's nursery business. /// My first contact with Austin was an email he sent me unexpectedly on February 14, 1998. Our subsequent correspondence resutled in a thick file of email messages, photos, and photocopies which Austin sent me about the Ingels and Gaar families. I suppose the files would explain why Austin moved to Oregon. I do not need the files to recall Austin's impatience with my repeated misspelling of the work "nursery." Austin sent me "My Memories of the Ingels Family" by Golda Pauline Ingels Osterberg [1891-1986] which I helped Barb Elwood Tuinstra put on-line. (Golda's granddaughter, Nora Lee Campbell of Indianapolis, IN, also sent me Golda's "Memories," and I kick myself for never going to meet Nora.) In 2001, when Schera and I finally did visit Austin at his garden apartment in a suburb of Portland, Oregon (near Nike headquarters), it was largely a social occasion, and we went out to dinner together. Austin complained about the pain he was suffereing from a rare skin disease, and he told us about his girl friend, but we did not meet her. Nor did we ever meet Austin's only child born in 1948 and then living in Seattle. Her originial name was Candice Ingels, but she changed it to Oriana Green. Oriana created a web site for her father which is no longer on-line but used to contain interesting tid-bits and family information. Alas, I did not learn about Austin's death until I Googled his name in March 2014. The photo is from his on-line obituary which had been published in The Oregonian on August 2, 2013.

Aug. 24, 2012

Bruce Jameson Carter [1935-2013], Coopers Creek Road, Big Chimney, West Virginia, USA
Bruce wrote me on May 19, 1998, and we met three months later in Jamestown, New York, at a reunion of Lowell and Mildred Carter descendants. Returning from a trip to the West, we had LMJC's newly reacquired photo albums with us in our van, and seven of us (including Bruce, his three older sisters, and niece Barb Elwood) poured through the family photos she had collected in the early 20th century. /// Bruce was born in Elma, Iowa (seven miles from nearest paved road), the little brother of Marjorie, Barbara, and Kathryn. He had polio at age 7. His father, a dentist, died when he was 17. The very next year (1953), an auto accident killed their mother and grandmother and made Bruce lame for the rest of his life. He attended Drake and Cornell Universities, became a hospital administrator, married Annette Gabrielle MacMillan (a French Canadian), and had three children -- Sue, Chris, and Nancy. His profession took him to Charleston, West Virginia, and they lived north of the city on a winding mountain road where Nancy could have horses. /// Bruce was named for our common great grandfather Robert Bruce Jameson [1841-1900], the Ingels son-in-law who was picked in 1883 to fetch the body of James Ingels [1821-1883] from Florida. (I have his account of this adventure by train and boat, but I've never transcribed it.) Bruce Jameson and Rosa Melinda Ingels had four daughters. The oldest (LMJC) was my grandmother. The next oldest -- Bruce's grandmother Eva Lena Jameson [1870-1936] -- married Charles Otis Carter [1869-1943], a newspaper editor. One of his schemes (an editorship?) took the family from Iowa to the Eastern Shore of Maryland where they acquired a colonial house (Winchester) four miles from Berlin and frequently visited Mary and Louis De Guibert in Public Landing (20.2 road miles south of Berlin). After having three sons -- Lowell Jameson Carter, Elledge Houston Carter, and Merlin Ingels (Nick) Carter -- Otis and Eva separated. She moved to Des Moines, Iowa, to be near her sisters and to work as a seamstress. He married Nettie C. Dean of Ridgely, Maryland (14 years younger than Eva), dabbled in politics, and operated small hotels, first in Ocean City and then in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he wrote Lowell in 1942 that "we are not making expenses [and] Nettie is getting to be more of a she devil every day" (click here for the text of his sad letter). Elledge owned laundromats in Florida. Lowell went to Drake and became a small town dentist in Iowa. Merlin joined the army and retired as Professor of Military Science & Tactics in Eugene, Oregon. Merlin was also one of two family historians in frequent contact with my mother (GMCL), the other being Errett Hamilton on the Campbell side of the family tree. Someone has made a Find A Grave page for Bruce and posted his obituary there.

Hessing Family
Free Acres, NJ
Laurel Hessing [1936-], 43 Appletree Row, FreeAcres, New Jersey, USA
Image a cheap cabin built in 1921 around which large trees had grown and which no one had entered since its last inhabitant died in 19___. Then, in July 1993, a descendant (architect Chris Benninger), by now living in India, finally gets around to cleaning out the place and find a wall of metal bread boxes containing a stache of family papers going back to 1878. (For three generations Mary Ingels De Guibert, Undena De Guibert Eberlein, and three Eberlein sisters seem to have saved about every letter they ever exchanged and even brought their papers from Illinois and Maryland to the "little cabin" in New Jersey.) Very, very fortunately, Chris made the papers availabe to neighbors Laurel Hessing and Sylvia Heerens, and, as they dipped into the stache, they got more and more intrigued. First, here were revelations about neighbors they had known but not deeply. Secondly, here were diaries and confesisons by people in far away places (rural Illinois, the Eastern shore of Maryland, the vaudeville circuit, Switzerland during World War II). The more they read, the more Laurel and Sylvia came to know a score of family members more or less intimately. I'll never know why they did what they did next, but they started transcribing the stache into a manuscript which took hours and hours of painstaking work and which eventually (by 1999) totaled 329 two-column pages. We are all richer for what they did. They called the result "Treasures of the Little Cabin, A Free Acres Cabin tells the Story of Those who Loved it and Sought its Shelter" (TOTLC), and the whole thing is available simply by clicking here on the website of the Center for Jewish History (CJH) in New York City. Imagine! My family history typed by two Jewish ladies and put on-line by the Center for Jewish History! The moment I heard about this project, I phoned Laurel, and she's been 200% cooperative with me every since. I immediately found photos in LMJC's album (which I'd reacquired in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1998) which back up one part of the story in TOTLC. In 2012, my cousins Jim and CJ Auer traveled to Maryland, and they backed up even more of the story. I made three web pages (available here) to supplement and (I hope) clarify TOTLC. In March 2014, I "found" seven more letters among my mother's papers and made them part of a fourth web page (available here). All together, this is a family history bonanza of the first magnitude. Read and enjoy. FYI, Laurel is married to Sigmar (Shlomo) HessingFree Acres, an intentional community founded in 1910 by Bolton Hall [1854-1938]. Schera and I have an affinity with "Free Acreites" having candidated and joined Bryn Gweled, another intentional community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, only 57.3 road miles from Free Acres.

Jen James
Des Moines, IA
Jennifer Irsfeld (Jen) James [1972-], 1056-26th Street, Des Moines, Iowa, USA
Jen emailed me in 2000 to say that she'd found my name (and email address) on a family history print-out in the window box of a house she'd bought in Des Moines, Iowa. Wow! It took several emails to determine how this happened. It seems that several years before, I'd phoned the home of Charles and Golda Kinney (who died in 1958 and 1963) at 1318-27th Street just to see if anyone still lived there, and the housekeeper told me that their daughter in-law, Edith Alberta Wallis Kinney [1899-2000], still occupied the house (now surrounded by the campus of Drake University). I printed some charts to show how we were related and mailed them to Des Moines, and somebody stuffed them into the window box. The old lady had life estate to the house but finally died (age 101) on April 23, 2000, Drake University immediately sold off the house's hardwood flooring and valuable mouldings and then offered the remainder for $1.00 provided that the purchaser agreed to move the house off campus. Jen and her lawyer husband Larry became the lucky new owners. Jen has a history degree from Goucher College in Baltimore, and she did things right, researching the neighborhood, the house, the Kinney family and moving it in 2001 to 1056-26th Street. Of course I did what I could to help from the family history point of view. Jen found photos I didn't have and vice versa. This put me in touch with two grand daughters, we visited Laurie Ann Rumage Vogt (the grand daughter living in Akron, Pennsylvania), and on November 30, 2000, she sent me a box of photos and letters taken from the house. In March 2014, I "discovered" that one of the letters was written in 1879 by Mary Ingels [1862-1932] describing how she had just met her future husband Louis De Guibert [1860-1929] at Eureka College in Illinois. In 2006, Jen and Larry bought Mars Cafe, a campus coffee house. On July 1, 2008, Jen proudly showed me her newly restored house. She and I visited the Drake campus, and Jen helped me find my mother's picture in an old yearbook (but not the painting of a Drake professor which LMJC is said to have painted for hanging in a place of honor). /// The photo at left shows Jen making a presentation about preservation. The 1911 photo at right is from LMJC's photo album. The middle photo is from Barb Tuinstra's website. And the restored view was of course made at Jen's new location.

Part IV - VIP's Related to Campbell Park:

Most if not all of Campbell Park's founders in 1907 were members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Chicago, Illinois. Their original intention (never realized) was for Campbell Park to evolve along the lines of other summer colonies such as Chatauqua in upstate New York and Epworth Heights in nearby Ludington, Michigan. So they laid out "streets" (some only nine feet wide) named for famous Disciples.

On the whole, Campbell Park's founders were among the most liberal and intellectual of the "Brotherhood." Most were associated with the University of Chicago at a time when many Christian Church ministers still eschewed education and continued to maintain that all it took to be a minister was a "calling" to preach the Bible.

This section displays all of "dead white men" associated with the origins of Campbell Park.
Pres = President of National or International Convention, Disciples of Christ (one year term).

Part V - Related Art Works:

Our family has had its share of talented artists. This section displays 45 of the many art works by family members, by their relatives (both near and far), or related in some other way to Campbell Park and its environs. Alas, I do not have photos of the art works actually in Argyle Cottage. The four paintings shown below by Luna May Jameson Campbell [1869-1940] are in Knoxville, TN.

Part IX - Related Events:

This section is highly selective -- but the most fun to compile. It displays 102 events over two centuries of family history for which specific dates and representative images are available. I hope that my selection of events gives you an accurate representation of our family history. Every event is described in greater detail on other web pages, as are sources of all this information.

LMJC, GMCL, and I have successively maintained family records (first in notebooks and since 1997 in a computer), but no one has ever constructed a writtten family history. The presentation shown here is pictorial and selective. Yet even it gives some idea of our origins and accomplishments over the years.

The Campbell side of our family tree is entirely Scottish. Our Smith and Blue ancestors -- yes, Smith and Blue are good Scottish names -- emigrated to Herkimer County, New York, before the War of 1812. Two families named Campbell (one with a Smith wife and mother) joined them in 1821 but moved on the Erie Canal west (and south) to Kent County, Ontario, in 1830. Our McLarty ancestors emigrated directly to land acquired from Colonel Talbot in southwestern Ontario in 1831 as part of a congregation of Scottish Baptists. All immigrant families spoke Gaelic, and everyone pitched in to help make cheese and harvest grain.

In 1845, a son (Peter, age 26) from the Campbell farm near Morpeth married a daughter (Isabel, age 21) from the McLarty farm north of Ridgetown. Both had been born in Scotland. They had ten children, one died, and nine walked to school in Slabtown, a mile south on the Talbot Trail.

By the mid-19th century, some of the Campbell men had constructed a water-powered grist mill. When this burned in 1880, two Campbell brothers established even bigger steam-powered mills in Chatham, St. Thomas, and Toronto, and one of them (Archibald, grandfather of playboy Douglas Argyle Campbell) became wealthy and waselectd to the federal parliament.

In 1882, Peter, Isabel, and eight children (ages 13-36) followed a daughter (Mary) and son-in-law (John Howard Campbell) to the fertile prairies of Manitoba. Four sons soon took up grain farming on a large scale, and the oldest (A.P.) worked his way onto the Winnipeg grain exchange. Eventually, two sons (Mack and Neil) moved to Yakima, Washington, where they grew hops and apples. Two daughters (Maud and Maggie) married and remained in Portage La Prairie. One daughter (Flo Jennie) died in childbirth. Peter and Isabel celebratred their 70th wedding anniversary in 1915.

The youngest son (GAC), taught the winter of 1886-1887 in a one-room school house and decided to study for the ministry. He received 36 college catalogs but chose Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Drake was founded in 1881 and happened to be the nearest Disciples-related institution of higher education (750 miles south of Portage La Prairie).

Meanwhile, our Murphy, Jameson, and Ingels ancestors met each other in north central Illinois. Many of the Murphys were Disciples preachers, and one group of them soon left Illinois for Monmouth, Oregon. The Ingels had come from Pennsylvania via eastern Indiana where they had intermaried to some extent with the Gaars who manufactured steam engines and threshing machines in Richmond, Indiana. The Jamesons and Haley families moved to Illinois from Barren County, Kentucky, allegedly to avoid slavery.

In Illinois, a Jameson son (Robert Bruce, age 26) married an Ingels daughter (Rosa Melinda, age 18) married in 1867. Theu had four daughters whom they intended to send to Disciples-related college in Abingdon, Illinois, but -- when that college merged with Eureka College in 1885 -- the entire family moved to Des Moines so the girls could attend Drake. The other members of the Ingels family remained in LaFayette, Illinois, where a sister (Mary) married Louis De Guibert of French descent in 1880 and a brother (Irvin) started a family-owned nursery in 1887 (which survived until the early years of the 21st century).

GAC and LMJ met at Drake (both age 18) and formed an immediate attachment (proved by the publication in 1984 of all the letters they wrote each other the summers of 1889-1892). Both were ardent Disciples of Christ, and May faithfully played the role of pastor's wife until his retirement from Union Avenue Christian Church in 1938 and her death in 1940. Religion was very much the foundation on which they and other Disciples families from Chicago founded Campbell Park (named for Disciples founders Thomas and Alexander Campbell -- not for our family) in 1907.

The 20th century saw the opening of opportunities other than the farm and church. The many descendants of the Campbell family of Argyle Cottage have pursued careers in business, engineering, law, management, the military, journalism, government service, and art, among other professions. The largest branch of the family remains near St. Louis, Missouri, but cousins live in at least eight other states. Only one descendant retains the surname Campbell.

Part XII - Related Cemeteries:

Cemeteries are hallowed ground and survive far better than buildings. The graves of almost all of our ancestors in the US and Canada can be traced and their tombstones read and rubbed. Here are about 33 cemeteries in three countries, most of which I have visited. The list of ancestors buried in each cemetery is incomplete.

Note the old and recent photos of the cemetery in Morpeth, Ontario. What is today merely lawn used to be a maze of flower gardens apparently tended (competitively?) by different families. I wonder if this practice was common throuighout North America.

Part XIII - Memorials Outside Cemeteries:

My primary line of research (peace monuments) gives me an awareness of monuments in general. So I'm pleased to report that some members of my extended family have been prominent enough to merit memorials of their own outside of cemeteries. Here are the few I can find, including three roads named for early settlers (a simple form of memorializing someone) and two museums -- Auchindrain of course but also the pioneer museum in Portage La Prairie to which Douglas Lloyd Campbell's childhood home at Flee Island has been moved and put on display.

Part XIV - Related Genealogy Websites:

Here are links to nine websites with good information about our family history. Two provide the complete texts of key documents ("The Campbells from Auchindrain" and "Treasures of the Little Cabin"). Four are sites maintained for other families (Carter, Gaar, Howell, and McCartney) but include some of our ancestors and even ourselves. The website of John S. Howell, Jr., is a technical marvel. The "People of Auchindrain" site is a work in progress and is attempting to document everyone who has ever lived in the communal tennancy of Auchindrain -- and their decendants. Rutgers University and the Disciples Historical Society are professional archives but have relatively little information digitized and on-line.
