James H. Campbell was born 21 Jun 1856 in Kentucky and died 08 Mar 1911 of pneumonia...the attending doctor was Chas. F. Milligan, M.D. Catherine was born in 1838 in Ohio and died 05 Mar 1911 of pneumonia. The person who gave the information was Henry Campbell who was an adopted/? son of James and Catherine. Henry's real name was Henry Grant and he was a son of Levi Grant...another person in my family line.
There was a family story that James and Catherine were living in a cave or perhaps it was a hollowed out place where miner's had been previously.....perhaps a miner's shanty. I noticed there was a large span in years of these two people...Catherine and James had both been married before...Catherine's sister, Mary, was married to James' father, at one time.
My father was born in Douglas Co., IL in 1892 and while going through some of his old letters, I found he had been in Colorado at some time during his early years...and that would explain some of his stories about being "out west". I wouldn't be surprised that during those years of 1910-1917, there were those in Douglas Co. who went out west to visit relatives who were also from Douglas Co.
Son of Ervin Campbell.
