POMEROY — The efforts of the Meigs County Historical Society to replace a marker honoring James Erwin Campbell were realized on Monday, Sept. 28, what would have been Campbell’s 153th birthday. The original maker was placed in Water Works Park in 2007, and damaged beyond repair in 2013. The park is located near Campell’s boyhood home in the Kerr’s Run area of Pomeroy, Ohio. Members of MCHS were on hand for the ceremony, which began with a review of Campbell’s accomplishments by Shannon Scott. Scott said he became interested in Campbell’s history when he learned of the damaged marker. “I didn’t know about Campbell, so I began exploring and was amazed by what I found.

Campbell passed away in January 1896. The Big Bend Beardsmen’s work in the installation of the marker was recognized, with MCHS members stating that without their help the marker would not have been placed. Chloris Gaul-McQuaid along with other volunteers, applied and received a grant for a replacement. After delivery, Gaul-McQuaid said the Society needed volunteers with skills to erect the plaque. New member Jill Cochran suggested they approach the Beardsmen. Beardsmen members Ricky Hysell and Mike Kennedy got to work immediately and had the marker installed in time for the re-dedication on Campbell’s birthday. A previously published article in The Daily Sentinel earlier this year introduced the new group to the community. The Big Bend Beardsmen as described by one of their members are “a group of facial hair enthusiasts who do volunteer work in the Bend Area and raise money for local charities.” The group’s members include “bearded gentlemen and ladies who are big fans of beards,”and are dedicated to promoting volunteerism. MCHS President James Stanley concluded the afternoon event with a reading of the marker: “James Edwin Campbell was born on September 28, 1867, in the Kerr’s Run area of Pomeroy to James and Letha Campbell. He graduated from Pomeroy High School with the class of 1884. After graduation, Campbell taught in various parts of Meigs County. Campbell achieved notoriety as an African American poet, editor, author of short stories, and educator. He began his writing in 1887 with the work Driftings and Gleanings.

In 2007, I was hired to the Middleport Police Department in order to help re-open the jail facility. I worked directly with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) in order to create and update policies and procedures. It was through that work that the Middleport Police Department was able to reopen their four-inmate facility to hold inmates once again. From 2010 to 2012, I was promoted to Sergeant, Lieutenant, Jail Administrator, and finally Assistant Chief. I was again, tasked with working with the ODRC in order to build a 16-inmate facility. This facility was funded through a loan, as opposed to burdening the taxpayers of Middleport. Since 2012, the Middleport Jail has been able to house inmates throughout Southeast Ohio.
