“On Wednesday of Jast week, Aug-
ust nth, the descendants of Charles
C. Campbell, or, as h^wals familiarly
known in his life time. “Uncle
Charley’’’ Campbell, and his wife,
Julia A. Campbell, held a reunion
on Indian creek, some two and a half
miles below town, near the old home
place. The family is somewhat re-
markable for its size, as neither Mr.
Campbell nor his wire were ever mar-
ried but once, and the result of
their marriage f was twenty-one
children of whom thirteen are now
living. All the children were born
in Comanche county except the two
oldest, who were born in Jefferson
and Williamson counties, respect-
ively.
“ ‘Uncle Charley’ and his wife
were both life long residents of this
state, and were married in Jefferson
county in 1848. They moved from
there to Williamson county in 1850,
and in 1854 or ’55 they immigrated
to this county, where they lived out
the greater portion of their family
life. Mr. Campbell became a member
of theiMasonic fraternity in 1871, and

of Indian depredations occurred. On
July 10th, 1866, in the evening some
of the children saw some Indians on
the creek, a little way from the
house, which was reported to the
mother, the father being out on a
cattle roundup. He returned after
night fall, and uppn being informed
of the matter, he collected all of his
horse stock and put them inside of
the yard. Then taking his gun in
hand, he lay down on a pallet some
twenty feet from the gate, where he

ham had settled in the same vicinity
and J. W. CunDingham and his
brother, William, and Bill Williams
were at the Cunningham residence,
and heard the shots which aroused
them, and they hastened down to the
Campbell homestead without even
taking time to dress. Upon arriving
within a couple of hundred yards of
the house, they hailed Campbell and
he answered them. The Indians
heaVing the hailing, retreated, tak-
ing the horses with them, eleven
head, and all that Campbell had at
that time. Pursuit was made the
next morning, but they never came
up with the Indians, though they
found a pony tied with a buffalo
skin thong cn the trail.
•The kind of people who settled
this country in those days, when
there was not a railroad within a
thousand miles of where the town
of Comanche now stands, was Buch
as cannot but be admired. It took
nerve to come into this country
then. Mr. Campbell was of the
highest type of those sturdy pioneers,
rugged, used to hardships, fearless,
but scrupulously honest. No blot or
stain ever rested upon his character
or reputation, and it is but a just
tribute to him and his equally brave
wife to say that tliev brought up
their children with fixed principles
of honesty and uprightness to such a
degree that of the large family not
one lias ever been hauled into court
or suffered in general reputation.
They are of the class of people of
whom the most, valuaji|e American
citizens are developed. SeaM
