I just learned through Cousin Melissa SLOCUM Kirk of the death last
month of Cousin Robert Raye Hackett, Sr.
His obituary can be seen on the website of the Elmira Star-Gazette. It
appeared May 31, 2008 and the funeral home's guest book will be
available for signing through the end of June.
Our condolences to his family.

Clara Eaton was a dau. of James R. Eaton & Ida Campbell, dau. of Emily
Sellen & Robert Campbell, son of Mary Blackwell & James Campbell.
I've updated our on-line tree, "Campbells of Nelson, PA & Related Luggs
