A look at the good old days

HOW THINGS have
changed,
When Helen and Ted

Campbell moved up to the
northwesl from California in
1928, they fit their three
small children, luggage, and
the family dog in a two-door
Hudson sedan, and a still
had room for the goat on the
running board.

The couple arrived in the
Kispiox Valley 68 years
ago. And on April 26 this
year they celebrated 72
years of marriage.

The Campbelis decided to
move to northerm BC be-
cause they were tired of life
on the oilficlds in Califor-
nia,

Ted was a marine engine
fitter — experienced in the
oilfields, but he was tired of
life on the California desert.

They had written to a
poslmaster up in the Nass
Valley, and decided to try
life up there.

On the way up to BC the
Campbells camped along
the highway, They arrived
at New Hazelton on June
11, 1928 and decided to
spend the winter there.

They got a job locking
after livestock for the
winter, and then the next
summer they decided to buy
a 160 acre homestead there,
rather than continue up
north.

Helen still lives on the
homestead, with her
youngest son Bruce,

By the 1940's the Camp-
bells had acquired another
684 acres and had a cattle
herd, horses, poultry and

more, Eventually they ended
up with a homestead of
more than 1,000 acres.

During the Second World
War Ted worked in Prince
Rupert as a marine engine
fitter,

Meanwhile Helen and the
children handled the ranch,

In 1944 they had some
bad luck when their house
bummed down. Helen and
children had to live in a tent
until Ted returned from
Prince Rupert to help build
another house.

The homestead was a
large area of land to
manage, but they did it all
by horses, says Helen.

They sold cream to a
creamery in Telkwa,
delivered eggs to Hazelton,
dressed poultry, meal and
vegetables and sold hay to
logging camps.

The Campbells also had a
guiding business. Helen
would take out hunters who
came from all over to shoot
moose, grizzly, goats and
more.

And when Helen wasn’t

busy with the business or
chores, she home-schooled
her children, since there was
no school on that side of the
river,

Helen describes those
days as good times, Lots of
hard work, but nobody real-
ly suffered. They always
had food and a roof over
their heads.

Now Ted is 97 and lives in
the extended care unit at
Wrinch Memorial Hospital
in Hazelton, Helen is 89,
and as I write this she js
Spending some time resting
up in the same hospital as
her husband.

Their children are Winnie
Murphy, who lives in Ter-
race, James and Theobold,
both in Telkwa, Glen in

Kamloops, and youngest
son Bnice, on the
homestead.

So I wish Ted and Helen
Campbell a belated 72nd
wedding anniversary and
hope Helen can soon return
