Thomas Clinch Campbell was born Mar. 25, 1856, in Farmington Twp., Tioga Co., PA; d. Feb. 1, 1933 in St. Petersburg, FL. Married Apr. 12, 1876 in Nelson Twp., Tioga Co. to Campbell Cousin Frances "Frank" Parks , b. Aug. 12, 1855, in NY; d. Sep. 22, 1927 in St. Pete. Frank's parents were Benjamin Parks , born 1820 in NY, and \ Mary Campbell, born 1830 in Nelson.
Tommie was the 3rd of 5 children of William
Campbell, b. 1822 in Nelson, Tioga Co., PA, d. there 1875; and Helen
Peasley, born 1826 in NY, died 1876 in Nelson.
Tommie and Frank lived much of their adult lives in Knoxville, Tioga Co.,
PA, where Tommie was the RR station agent. They moved to Westfield, Tioga
Co., PA where he was in real estate. After "retiring" to St. Pete, he
built a 20 room hotel, "The Campbell House", but later turned its
management over to daughter and son-in-law Mary & Curt Shewman so he
could focus on real estate development. He was very successful, but after
the FL real estate bubble burst he leased the undeveloped portion to the
city (1930). His daughters sold it to the city in 1943. It's now Campbell
Park and has a nice plaque in honoring Tommie.
Tommie was Secretary of the 1893, 1894 & 1902 Campbell Reunions,
vice-pres of the 1905 & 1914 reunions, and president of the 1904,
1906, 1907, 1908, 1914 & 1933 reunions.
