  • Two interesting Campbells to highlight are John Archibald Campbell and F. Leon Campbell. Both were sons of Benjamin and Maggie Campbell, affectionately called Grandma Maggie by many.
  • Leon was responsible for the building of the log cabin near Seminole United Methodist church on 54th Ave. This was a CCC as well as a WPA project that was constructed during the presidency of FDR. Leon knew everyone in the area and wrote about many of the families in Seminole. He wrote about what they did, about their children, and where they lived.
  • The Campbell Stand contains many interesting stories of the families of the 9 children of Benjamin and Campbell and Margaret. They were all written by Leon Campbell.
