Family
Husband James Byron Campbell, b. 31 Dec 1905, Pennsville, Morgan, Ohio, United States , d. 14 Jan 1988, Sun City, Maricopa, Arizona, United States (Age 82 years) Married 24 Jun 1929 St. James Church, Wooster, Wayne, Ohio, United States [7] - Jimmy and Ginny eloped.
Ginny lied about her age on the marriage license application, stating that she had turned 21 on 4-Dec-1928, when she had in fact turned 17. She also stated that her residence was in East Union, Wayne County, Ohio. The remaining information was truthful.
From their daughter:
There were, as I recall, two other couples who were to run off and marry at the same time, but the others chickened out. After my parents were married in Wooster, they came back to Columbus and didn’t tell anyone. My mother continued living with her parents (well, their marriage was ending, so I don’t know if her father was still living in the family home), and she finally told her mother SIX MONTHS LATER that she’d gotten married, to which her mother replied, “Well, you know we have to tell your father.”
2022 Note from their daughter, accompanying the marriage license image:
Here's the marriage certificate for my parents when they eloped. Of course, they both really lived in Columbus, so there's no truth to the listing of Toledo and E. Union. Witness Jane Dodd was Mother's good friend. Maybe she was one of the other "kids" who had intended to run off and marry at the same time but chickened out.
