CAMPBELL (JOHN JAMES)

John James Campbell was born in Goderich, Ontario, on November 25, 1863. Joy mingled with sorrow, for shortly before the birth of his son, John's father died suddenly, leeving his young wife expecting their child. In 1880 mother and son migrated to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, where for the next twelve months John was employed in the construction of the Locks.

By 1881 the Campbells settled in Raber Township, north of Stalwart. Here they homesteaded one of the first homesteads on what is now called Sand Ridge. Among their neighbors weie the Tripps, the Hewers, the O'Briens, the Floods, the Halls, the Reynolds, and the McKenzies. Summer days found John clearing land on the homestead, and establishing the new farm. Winter days were spent by several homesteaders, including John, in lumber camps. This employment took them into the Gogomain and Prentiss Bay areas where they lumbered for Hassack Brothers Lumbering Co. of Cedarville. The then high monthly wage of $20 - $25 was expedient for tax payments and the purchase of seed for spring seeding.

A sailboat, carrying a very important personage, set sail at Harbor Beach, destination: Raber Bay! But due to contrary winds, the passengers and crew sought refuge in Point Aux Frenes, just north of Raber. Hannah Campbell, originally from Applegate, Michigan, after leaving the unfottunate vessel, went to the Kirkbrides, who at that time resided just one mile south of Raber. Young John met Hannah and found this newcomer most attractive. It was 1888 when they were united in marriage. John became Road Commissioner, which position he held for several years. His was the responsibility of the construction of several roads in Raber Township. He also served the community on the School Board.

To the union of John and Hannah were born nine children, four of whom reached adulthood. EARL was killed in an automobile accident in 1939 while on a business trip for the Unemployment Bureau, leaving a wife, June, and three childten. JOHN now resides in Muskegon, Michigan, and has three children all living in Lower Michigan. HARVEY, with his sons, Herman and Richard, carries on the dairy farm, which is established on the "Burnt Land," purchased by his father in 1896 (obtaining the 40 acres for $160). MARIE is a school teacher in Sault Ste. Marie.

HARVEY married Grace Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hill, early settlers of the Stirlingville area. To them were born three sons. Herman married Fuline Stirling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Stirling of Sault Ste. Marie. They have four children: Judy, Janet, Jim, and John, a missionary to Ethiopia, married Marje Hawes, of Huntington Beach California. They have four children and now live in Lansing. Richard married Elsie Weatherly and lives in Indiana. The Harvey Campbells farmed the Sand Ridge farm until 1939, when they established the dairy farm on the "Burnt Land" where they now reside.

CAMPBELL (WALTER)

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Campbell and three-weeks-old daughter, Laura (the late Mrs. William Kerr), came to Stirlingville in March, 1882 from Goderich, Ontario, and took up a homestead. Walter Campbell was a blacksmith and his merry whistle could be heard half a mile away as it mingled with the ring of his blacksmith's anvil, as he hammered out the shoes for the farmers' horses. He built a shop, store, and post office on his farm. The Stirlingville Methodist Church was also on his property.
