Who Seek[s] for heaven alone to Save his Soule
May Keep the path but will not reach the goal
While he who walks in love may wander
Yet God will bring him where the blessed are
[NOTE: The Campbell Cousins Reunions ran from 1893 to 1942, and were open to the public, but were for the descendants of Joseph & Mary Harper Campbell, associated Lugg and Blackwell families, and friends. Attendance was sometimes several hundred. The Cousins Dinners started in 1909 and were by invitation only. They were primarily for the grandchildren of Joseph and Ann Clinch Campbell. Attendance seldom was more than 50.
"Do", as seen in the addresses, is a 19th century version of "ditto."
The poem, by the Rev. Henry van Dyke, Jr., apparently inspired the secretary, who added it to the notebook]
1. Floyd L. Bostwick later served in WW1 and had a garage and car dealership in Lawrenceville. I'm not aware of any connection to our family.
2. Mrs. Amy B. Buck (1855 - 1943), perhaps a widow of Buck relative.
3. Charles H. Buck (1845 - 1918) Brother of the host, Jabez L. Buck, and of George W. Buck.
4. Farmington Twp., Tioga Co., PA.
