Amherst and Nelson Co.VA ?Henry Painter and Sarah Williams married and had
Hannah Painter who married Willis Campbell who had Elizabeth Campbell who

Laura,
Wow! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the effort you went
to
getting this information. I will definitely order the birth and death
records for Charles. I was surprised to see that Linda Crotchett was
still
the County Clerk there. I think she was in that job when I left
Jerseyville
in 1973. I think she even issued my marriage license a few years before
that. Where is the Jersey County Historical Society located? I've been
to
their web site but didn't know they had an office.
The newspaper clippings are definitely the right people. And the marriage
clipping was my grandfather and grandmother.
I'll have to think about all of the gravestones you found. I'm sure a
number of them are related but am not sure how. I'd love to figure out
who
Charles parents, siblings etc are. I have an aunt (one of Raymond &
Sadie's
daughters) that is still alive and living in Colorado. I think I'll call
her and see if she can remember anything to help. I'm really curious to
find out how the Ruthy shown ties into it.
I would like to have the copies of the newspaper articles. I'll email you
directly with my address. I'd be more than willing to reimburse you for
postage, gas etc for helping me so much. I'll probably have questions
after I look this information over and have a chance to digest it.
Thanks again
Dave Pointer

Dave,
I don't live far from Jersey County so I took a drive over there
today
to see what I could dig up for you.
First I went to the County Clerk's office. This is where you write
for
copies of Charles birth record ($12) or death record ($10), either of
which
should list his parents names. Sorry, I tried to get them to release
the names
to me, but no luck. They won't do look-ups, they'll only sell copies.
Here
is
their address and phone #:
Linda J. Crotchett
County Clerk
County Government Building
200 N. LaFayette Street
P. O. Box 216
Jerseyville, IL 62052
(618) 498-5571, Ext. 115
Next I went to the Jersey County Historical Society. There I found
the
following newspaper clippings in a "CAMPBELL" folder:
CHARLES E. CAMPBELL
Charles E. Campbell, aged 47 years, 4 months and 7 days, died at his
home four miles west of Jerseyville, Sunday, August 5th, at 9:45 a.
m. Funeral
services were held from the residence Thursday at 10 a. m., Rev. V. S.
Neely
officiating and the intermet was in Grimes Cemetery. (written on bottom
of
clipping: 1917)
MRS.. CARRIE CAMPBELL
Mrs. Carrie Campbell, 39, died at her home in the west part of
Jerseyville Saturday, Mar. 26, at 1 a.m. Funeral services were
conducted from the
residence Monday at 2 p.m. The Rev. L. W. Porter officiated. Funeral
services
were private. The burial was in Oak Grove cemetery. She leaves three
sons,
Melvin, Russel and Ray Campbell of Jerseyville. (written on bottom
of clipping:
3-31-1921)
MARRIAGES
Campbell - Eisler.
Raymond Campbell, is employed at the Jerseyville nursery, and Miss
Sadie
Eisler, daughter of Michael Eisler, residing in the east part of town,
were
married at the brides home on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. L. W. Porter, the
ring ceremony being used. Harry Henrion and Miss Nettie Welch, a
cousin of the
groom, acted as groomsman and bridesmaid. Besides these there were
present the
bride's mother and brother, Ea? Douglas Welch, cousin of the groom, Mrs.
Bentz and Mrs. Nettie Goda(?) The young people have the best wishes of
their
friends for a long, happy and useful lives. (written on bottom of
clipping:
3-24-1921)
If this Raymond is the son of Charles and Carrie - how sad that only
4
days after the wedding his mother died!
Since the obituary for Charles said he was buried in Grimes Cemetery
I
drove out there next. This is a nice, small cemetery on the crest of a
small,
gently sloping hill. It is well maintained, although there are a few
broken
stones. I did not find Charles stone there, but I found the following:
GRIMES CEMETERY
(located about 5 miles west of Jerseyville in Jersey Co., IL)
Joseph R. Campbell January 22, 1822 - August 27, 1904
Ellen Campbell November 13, 1882 - November 8, 1907
On back of Joseph and Ellen Campbell's large stone is inscribed:
CHILDREN OF J.R. AND ELLEN
Anna L. Campbell August 16, 1857 - August 11, 1879
Robert B. Campbell November 21, 1859 - October 11, 1889
Laura T. Campbell April 29, 1855 - December 9, 1935
There are empty spaces on either side of the above stone which may
contain unmarked graves. Behind the above stone is a row of NEELY family
tombstones, and behind that the CAMPBELL family resumes with
the following (from left
to right, in a row):
Baby Campbell (unreadable)
Nancy, wife of John Lyons October 1, 1819 - September 21, 1855
Infant Nancy April 15, 18(1?)8
Sarah Ann Campbell May 12, 1834 - June 16, 1900
Alex. Campbell April 3, 186(2? or 4?) age (7d ?)
George C. R. Campbell April 2, 1863 age 45y 10m 3d
Mary Campbell, wife of William May 21, 1797 - September 25, 186(5?or 8?)
William Campbell March 2(3? or 7?), 1795 - July 9, 1878(8?)
(Inscribed on stone: Born in ___________- New Da??? Co, NC)
Mary Jane Irter Apr 5, 1851 - October 18, 1889
(Inscribed on stone: Erected by Friend Ruthey Campbell)
(In the 1900 census Charles is enumerated in the household of Ruthy
Campbell)
Next I came home and checked the
usgenweb.com website for Jersey
County,
IL. They have their cemetery index online, so I searched for all the
Campbell surname in Grimes Cemetery. They listed some (not all) of
those above, plus
these below which I missed:
Infant Campbell April 4, 1848
James R. Campbell Mar 16, 1862 - Nov 2, 1961 (son of Joseph R. & Eleanor
Young Campbell)
Mary Campbell February 19, 1817
Rebecca Campbell September 23, 1823 - July 8, 1840
Since I didn't find a stone and Charles was not listed on the Jersey
Co.
cemetery list there is a chance that he doesn't have a marker. If I make
it
back up that way I will double-check to be sure.
Carrie's obit listed her as being buried in Oak Grove Cemetery so I
checked the listings there next. I found Raymond (1900 - 1962),
Russel A. (1902 -
January 22, 1988), and Melvin (1904 - October 18, 1973).
I ran into another Campbell researcher while at the history museum.
She
wasn't sure of a connection between her line and Charles (although there
are
those named Charles in her line), but I include her address if you wish
to
get in touch:
Ruby Postlewait
Box 226
Kane, IL 62054
I made copies of the newspaper articles about Charles, Carrie and
Raymond. If you would like these I would be happy to send them just
contact me
off-list with your snail mail address.
Hope some of this helps!
