Campbell Reunion
The Campbell family reunion was held on the Nelson High School grounds on
Thursday last and 150 Campbells or near relatives joined in the pleasures of
that occasion. The lunch was a composite representation of the culinary
skill of the family and for centuries back when the Campbells clan which was
always one of the most powerful of all Scotland they were noted for good
living, refreshments were therefore fine and correspondingly enjoyed. After
dinner a short program was rendered. Harry Campbell, of Elmira sang two
vocal solos and Mark Seely read a history of the Campbell family of Argyle,
Scotland, whose descendents [sic] the Cowanesque Campbells are. The article
was a very interesting one and the fact was pointed out that the Eighth
Duke of Argyle is a blood relation of the Campbells that joined in the
reunion. The social intercourse was the real feature of the day and when
the trains again diffused Scotland¹s best blood over Southern New York and
Northern Pennsylvania it was with real regret that that the good byes were
said. A very neat badge was supplied each member and on it was stamped the
Campbell crest and the date and place of the annual reunion. The president
chosen for the next meeting was T. C. Campbell, of Knoxville, the place of
meeting same as this year and the date the third Thursday of August.
