Celebrates Birthday
Sunday, January 31, was an enjoyable day for Uncle John Campbell, who, with his children, grandchildren, great grand children and many friends, celebrated his eighty second birthday-anniversary.
In spite of feeble health and declining years, Uncle John was able to walk around and talk with his loved ones and friends who had come from far and near to show their love and respect for him.
Those of his children present were Mr. (Bee) John A. Campbell and wife of Calera, Mr. George Campbell and wife of Silura, Mrs. W.H. Thrash of Sylacauga, Mr. Tom Campbell and wife of Mt. Pleasant, Jemison, Mrs. Mack Martin of Route 2, Jemison, and Miss Lula Campbell of Mt. Pleasant. Only one of the family circle was absent, James A. Campbell; however, his family was all present.
Those present of the grand children were Mr. Normal Campbell and family, of Acton, Mr. Grady Thrash, Sylacauga; Mr. Leonard Martin and family, Jemison, Route 2; Mr. Bernie Martin and wife, Jemison, Route 2; Mr. Reuben White and wife, nee Miss Nellie Martin, Jemison; Mr. Z. Merrell and wife, nee Marjorie Campbell, Silura; Mr. Ike Jefferson and wife, nee Dullie Campbell, and son, Silura; Mr. Charles Foshee and wife, nee Bertha Campbell; Mr. ErmonSeals and wife, nee Gladys Campbell, and children, Calera; Mr. Jean Barefield and wife, nee Pearl Campbell and little son, Calara; Mr. Homer Martin and wife, nee Audie Broadhead, and family, Calera; Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Campbell and family, Birmingham; Miss Emma Campbell, Mr. Marian B. Campbell, Stanley and Jimmie Campbell, Route 2; Miss Deamie Campbell, Luther, Clinton, Katie and Aubrey, Miss Ina Cammpbell, Calera. There were ten of the great grand children present.
There were also present, Mr. and Mrs. Pomp Robinson and family, Mrs. Obe Robinson and daughter, Lucille, Mr. ad Mrs. Charlie Roper and daughter, and a host of others too numerous to mention. We were very glad to have with us, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell from Siluria, Mr. and Mrs. Elzie Martin from Calera, and Mr. Elzey from Birmingham. All the daughters and daughters-in-law and the younger married ladies all brought baskets just laden with the most delicious things to eat. Aunt Lucy always had a dinner that would do justice to a king. Two large tables were spred, but there was such a bounteous feast the tabls would not accommodate all the food, or all the folks at one time.
Uncle John graced the table. His prayers are always a divine inspiration to those who hear him.
Uncle John received some very useful and attractive gifts from various relatives and friends, which were highly appreciated by him, especially a dainty hand painted cup and saucer, presented by Emma Campbell, who is a junior artist, and aspiring artist in the future. About three p.m. after everyone had enjoyed the day, the folks began to leave for their various homes with the hope in their heart that they would be permitted to attend another birthday celebration with Uncle John next year and many years to come. -- A Friend.
