Island story
Alexander Finley Campbell is commemorated at Pioneer Cemetery memorial R5-009 with Ann Campbell. The memorial records his death in 1897 and hers in 1899 and associates the family with Ross-shire, Scotland. His 1895 will names his wife Ann Campbell, daughter Annie F. Campbell and grandson Alex Campbell McCallum. These named relationships connect his household with the later McCallum family independently of the shared monument. The 1891 marriage of Charles McCallum and Annie F. Campbell names the bride’s parents as Alex and Annie. His exact migration history and earlier parentage remain unresolved; the memorial’s Scottish association does not independently establish Ann’s birthplace. The monument also does not establish the precise location of either person’s remains.
