One Of the leaders of the Woman s
club and later of the Delphian club

through her writings she welded a
wide influence.
"Since her thirteenth year, Mrs

Der of the Christian church. She
was baptized by the pioneer preach
er, Ben Franklin, and married by
his son, Joe Franklin. In FL Cen
tro she was always a member of
the State Street Christian church
for years teaching a class in the
Sunday School and being identified
with the various church activities.
"Not strong physically, for years
her indomitable will kept her W

things less heroic person would
have thought impossible.
"Twin sisters, Violet and Viola

4, 1861, later removed with theiI
parents to Anderson, Ind, where
they grew to maturity, graduating
from the city schools. Violet was

the wedding the Young people came
to California. They lived in San
Diego county, where Mrs. Campbell
was member of the county board
of education nine years until the
family removed to Imperial Valley
in 190S.'
