William D. Campbell married Helen (Nellie) Thompson at her parents' house.

After the lovely wedding and reception they told us of driving to the mail box with horse and buggy to pick up window shades ordered from Sears Roebuck, as they were expecting a "shivaree" that night. Their friends didn't disappoint them. However, at the peak of the noise making some of them sneaked into the kitchen and were visiting with Bill and Nellie for some time before the rest of the crowd missed them. A good time was had by all and they were given a desk-china cupboard combination as a shivaree gift. This home was in Hemen Township. They raised their family there. Nellie still resides there in the house they built after the first home burned.
