JOSEPH JOHN THOMPSON.
First, condolences to Campbell Cousin Greg S. Thompson and close
relatives on the death Friday of Greg's father, Joseph John Thompson
(who is not related to me)
Joseph's ex (Greg's mom) is a dau. of Kathryn Isobel HORTON Moran
Mitchell (1901 - 1976), dau. of Frances M. Blake & Frank Grant Horton
(1872 - 1961), son of Elisha S. Horton & Kate Ardell Campbell (1853 -
1943), dau of Helen E. Peasly/Peasley & Wm. Campbell (1822 - 1875), son
of Ann Clinch & Joseph Campbell (1793 - 1864), son of Mary Harper &
Joseph Campbell 1748 - 1822).
CYRIL LEE HAZLETT
I also just noticed in the Social Security Death Index of Campbell
Cousin Cyril Lee Hazlett, b. 6/3/26 in PA, d. 11/26/2009 in TX. I had
seen Cyril a number of times as a kid, but don't know as we ever spoke
then. Fortunately I did get to have a good phone conversation with him
and his wife Diane a few years ago. My sympathies to Diane, their
children and grandchildren, and to Cyril's surviving siblings --- some
of whom have come to past Campbell Reunions.
Cyril, a US Army veteran of WW2, was a son of Doretta Mae "Doda" Oakden
& Geo. Gersham Hazlett (1891 - 1977) [a good neighbor to my mother], son
of Ida Freeland & Samuel Hazlett (1865 - 1947), son of Eleanor J. Culp &
Marinus/Marine/etc. Hazlett (1836 - 182), son of Cynthia Hammond &
Archibald H. Hazlett (1803 - 1888), son of Samuel Hazlett (1780 - 1840)
& Sarah "Sally" Campbell (b.1777), dau. of Joseph and Mary Harper
Campbell above.
DORIS SWIMELAR Hazlett
I also found an Obit for Cyril's sister-in-law, Doris SWIMELAR Hazlett,
widow of Royce C. Hazlett (1929 - 1994).. Belated condolences to Doris'
family. I don't recall ever meeting Doris, but have had a lot of
genealogical assistance from her daughter, Judy. Doris' obit can be
seen at
www.joycetice.com/obitcemt/everobitr.htm That obit, transcribed
from the Elmira Star-Gazette, gives Doris' maiden name as "Swimlear",
But the SSDI has her mother as "EULA SWIMELAR", the Wellsboro Gazette of
Dec. 12, 1979, p12 obit has "Mrs. Eula Swimelar", and it's
'Swimelar' in
the obit of Eula's father in the Wellsboro Agitator of Sep. 30, 1936, p3.
Best Wishes to Cousin ROSALIE YOUNG on her recent marriage to Alan Laramore.

Additionally, I sent off to RootsWeb an update to our "Campbells of

quality and quantity and now contains 12,747 individuals and 5,560
