Hi,
Hope you don't mind my taking the opportunity to educate everyone by using
your message, Eddie. I *know* the archive search is klunky and hard to
understand, but it's all we've got right now.
You have to send your archive searches to the -request address, not to the
posting address. That's Campbell-L-REQUEST(a)genealogy.org
(yes, it does work with the caps)
You also must use the Subject of "archive" (lowercase, no quotes) instead
of "Jesse Campbell".
And your search command should be:
find Samuel.Jesse.Campbell archived/*/*

Bob,
This touched me. I thought you might like it.
Subject: Life Goes By
Life goes by so fast
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.
If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone
what they mean to you.
Seize the day today, and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your
friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today
and are what it's all about anyway.
Pass this along to your friends.
Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having
regrets is that the regrets may stay around forever.
If you do not send it, you will have
once again passed up the opportunity
to do something loving and beautiful.
If you've received this it is because
someone cares for you and it means
there is probably someone for whom you care.
Take the few minutes and forward this.
You might make someone's day a little brighter.
You might make your own day a little brighter.

Hi: Thanks to David W Jackson, I have been sent another generation and
a half (we
didn't have wife's name before) on my Campbells. Now know James Sr was
born in
South Carolina in c 1769, m Sally McCord in Lincoln Co., North Carolina
3-19-1789, was in the Indians Wars with South Carolina, and died August
1825. Does this ring any bells further back? Please answer to my e
mail: jrotter(a)orednet.org
Thanks
Jean Rotter
Bill,
I really don't think we need a good fight - maybe cooperation instead.
Have you tried searching in the list archives for other posts containing
"Donald Campbell"? If not, you might try the following commands:
find Donald.Campbell archived/*/*
find Donald.S.Campbell archived/*/*
find Donald.S*.Campbell archived/*/*
The first will look only for "Donald Campbell" in all the files and
directories in the archived directory (which is where everything is.)
The second will look only for "Donald S Campbell" -- I've not tried
putting in a search for Donald.S..Campbell, as it might confuse the search
engine. Words in strings are separated by periods - I don't think the
person who wrote the program was thinking of names when he created it.
The third will look for occurrances of "Donald S____" followed by
"Campbell", and might catch stuff like "Donald Smith married Mary
Campbell", but should also catch "Donald S. Campbell" and "Donald Samuel
Campbell" as well as "Donald Scott Campbell".
Please note that you have to spell the search words just like they are in
the archives. If someone sent a message with Campbell misspelled, then it
won't catch that on the search. You may want to search for "Cambpell",
too, as that seems to be a common misspelling. :-)
BTW, the above commands are sent to Campbell-L-request(a)genealogy.org with
the Subject line: archive

Hi folks,
My mother in law found an interesting article in the paper today. It seems
that the last person to be legally hanged in Gwinnett County, GA was a
Campbell. His name was Henry Campbell. This is the story as stated in the
paper:
Infamy followed convict to gallows
by: Milo Ippolito
Ella Hudson lay dead, her skull crushed and her heart pierced, while her
baby's tiny lungs filled with smoke in the burning house. Her husband, John,
and his best friend, Henry Campbell, had just left to haul a load of cotton to
a gin a few miles away. The two men would later be convicted in the 1908
crime that was called then -- and remains today -- "one of the most atrocious
crimes ever perpetrated in Gwinnett County." It resulted in the county's last
hanging of a man legally tried, convicted and sentenced to death........The
state hanged Campbell from the gallows outside the old county jail in
Lawrenceville on May 8, 1908. John Hudson had turned evidence against him,
and though both were convicted, Hudson got off with mercy for his cooperation.
The jury did not believe Campbell's protestations of innocence, but they found
Hudson's account credible. The story that gave Campbell his dubious place in
Gwinnett history follows this course: Hudson, who lived on H. L. Wilkinson's
land by the Yellow River, went to see Campbell on Jan. 2, 1908 to borrow his
wagon and ask for his help to haul cotton. Hudson wanted to sell the cotton
so he would have money to run off with Campbell's young daughter. Campbell
was glad to help because Hudson already had "ruined" the girl. Campbell, 54,
liked Hudson, who was about 30, and wanted him for a son-in-law. A few days
earlier, Hudson had taken his sweetheart, Ida Campbell, to Atlanta, where she
was to wait for him. His plan was to return shortly with the money and take
her to Florida to live. The two men loaded 600 pounds of cotton onto the
wagon that day. If the jury's verdicts are correct, one or both of them went
into the house before they set off for the gin and committed acts of extreme
brutality and cruelty. Hudson said Campbell jumped up from the wagon and said
that he was going inside to kill Hudson's wife. Hudson did not protest. A
blow to the head, probably from a shovel, fractured Ella Hudson's skull. Her
stomach was slashed several times, indicating she may have struggled. A knife
plunged precisely through her heart most likely was the final assault. The
house was set afire, with her 4-month-old daughter left inside to die. Hudson
said he did not believe Campbell when he returned, declaring he had killed the
woman. They headed for the gin. When they got back, a crowd of neighbors
stood in the yard looking in horror at the destruction. Though Ella Hudson's
body was charred, slashes were clearly evident on parts of her clothing that
did not burn. Sheriff J. G. Brown immediately took the two men into custody.
On March 9, a jury in Campbell's case heard testimony and was presented with
circumstantial evidence until 10 p.m. The jury deliberated for half an hour,
then found him guilty and recommended that the judge sentence him to life.
Hudson's case was heard the next day, with the same evidence. He too was
found guilty, but because he cooperated with prosecutors, the jury recommended
that the judge grant him mercy. At noon on May 8, the sheriff escorted
Campbell to the gallows. Campbell wore a dark suit and was permitted to
address a crowd of spectators at the execution. His final words: "An
innocent man is going to his death."
I find this interesting, how the judicial system was so inept at that time.
Hudson's story sounds extremely fishy to me. (1) He had already planned to
run off with Campbell's daughter, (2) He was sitting outside on the wagon and
did not hear any noises from a struggle, (3) He did not believe Campbell,
Henry had to of been covered in blood. Seems to me, Hudson was either from an
influential family or the jury was very gullible.
Does anyone have any connections to the Campbell's in the Gwinnett Co. GA
area. I have some other information, not quite so gory, that I am willing to
share.

Hi Chris,
If it isn't broke don't fix it.
I for one am very happy with the list, would be happier if someone came up

If Cailleach had not fallen asleep, there would not
have been a Loch Awe. Does anyone know where
these legends came from or a site that is dedicated to
stories like this? I would imagine at the time of there
telling a lesson was in the story that sometimes may
not make sense to us today.

I will respond faster (or at least try to!) to problem posts, or to those
who need help. I also plan to impliment checking for messages that
contain attachments, excessive quoting, html coding, and the like. I'm
testing as we "speak" some automated responses for these kinds of
messages.
I also expect subscribers to follow good "netiquette" and moderate
themselves.
Those who wanted the digest in one part might try requesting the actual
file from the list server. You might find that it is in one part that
way (file retrieval is a bit different than sending the file out via

Thank you to those who did respond, thanks to those who offered to

Hi, Folks,
First, a reminder not to attach Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and so
on, to the list - many do not take the time to download them or to check
them for viruses, so your work is ignored.
Second, the info Sandy was sending is available from the LDS's web site:
Family History Centers
http://www.lds.org/Family_History/Where_is.html
How Do I Begin?
http://www.lds.org/Family_History/How_Do_I_Begin.html
What is a Family History Center?
http://www.lds.org/Family_History/What_is.html
Third, if it's copyrighted, it's copyrighted, and you have to ask
permission to use it. Anywhere. (Did you know your messages are
copyrighted? Journalists and publishers must ask permission to use them
in other works.) This includes stuff on web pages, too.

Hi, Folks,
Alice's request brings up a point I haven't discussed before: how to get
digests you need.
The digests are in their own directories, and as you might suspect, are
accessed by a different email address than the regular list archives. To
get Digest V98 #112, send your message as follows:
To: Campbell-D-request(a)genealogy.org
Subject: archive
Message: get archive/volume98/112
Please note that
- the first directory is "archive" and not "archived"
- digests are in sub-directories based on year
- filenames are the issue number
- the digest version of the list started in 1996
(directory name: volume96)
- issues 1-4 are not available for 1996
- these are the digests as they were sent out, complete with all the
garbage (file attachments, unsubscribes, etc).
A word of warning: the first digest of the year may be very large because
of internal problems with the year change. Juno subscribers and others
with limits on their incoming email will not be able to retrieve them, as
they can be over the 50K limit.
Alice, let me know if you have trouble retrieving digest 112.
Happy hunting,
Chris
Hi, Folks,
I just uploaded a new version of the srcharch file which hopefully will
help you search the Campbell-L list archives via email.
To get the file, send a message:
To: Campbell-L-request(a)genealogy.org
Subject: archive
Message: get srcharch
You must use the Subject of "archive", and it must be lowercase. The
filename is also lowercase.
Let me know if you have problems, or if I should modify the file so it is
more understandable.

Hello All,
As most of you may recall, a few weeks (more like months) ago, I
advertised that I live in Utah and decided (finally!) to take a trip to the
LDS Family History Library. I stated that I would try to help anyone that
gave me only specific information on their hard to find folks, and that I
wouldn't make promises that I couldn't keep.
Well, I went there on Monday (August 24) and....my goodness is that a
large place to visit!! =) I couldn't find squat on my gr gr grandfather,
even with the census records, and I realized very quickly that I would just
have to make several trips back there whenever I had the chance. I only
spent 4 hours there, looked through about 11 rolls of microfilm, and then I
had to get out of there because the time on my parking meter (stupid thing
that) was quickly running out. Next time I'll know better and park behind
the building!! =)
Sadly, I have not had the opportunity to look up anything for all of you
that gave me requests, but I was so fascinated with all of the information
that they have there that I'm going to go back....and this time, I've got a
plan in mind. This first trip was a sort of "fly by the seat of my pants"
kind of trip, but this time I know what I'm looking for, what books I want
to look at, and so on. Maybe I will be able to find some stuff for all of
you that asked. In the meantime, if you want to give it a go yourself,
there are Family History Centers located all over the world and they have a
lot of the stuff that the Family History Library does, or can at least see
if they can get a copy of it for you. You can find out where one is near
you by contacting Family History Support at 1-800-346-6044. I would have
put even more here, but just as I was getting read to type up a "Word"
document with a little bit of information from a document I got while there,
I read one of those stupid copyright law thingys on it and decided I didn't
feel like getting in trouble with the LDS Church, ya know? Oh well. Just
call that number I listed and that should get you at least a little bit of
help, I hope!! =)
Again, sorry I haven't been able to get back to y'all for a bit, but I'm
still working on it!! =) I've gotten about 35 requests in my "Family
History Library Folder" now, so hopefully the next time I go back (I'm going
to try for this week, Tuesday and Wednesday), I will be able to get a few of
your requests answered. =)
Thanks,
Sandy Campbell =)
