 Clan. Campbell, Order of Scottish Clans, was organized in February, 1887, at a time when the Order of Sec t:sh c ans was but five years old, ana a comparatively small and inSignih- cant body, occupying nothing like its present position in fraternal and pa triotic orders. The original clan start ed with a membership of 20 and on al very humble scale, the members be ing content to meet at each others houses. One of the charter members, whose energy and enthusiasm did much toward bringing the clan to its, present great success, is William Duff fes who is still one of the most ac- tive members of the c an and natural ly is very familiar with it's history from it's inception to the present day.
