  Family History Researcher	Hi Jay,I was thrilled to find your site, particularly your transcription of the 850 Kaukaulin Census, as I believe it led me to a missing link in my research. If you think you might be able to help me, I would like to hire you for a 2-hour search to begin with. Here are the particulars on the fami ly I am researching: My gg-grandfather was John Campo, born 1843 in Holland, emigrated to US in 1849. He was raised, I believe, in Outagamie County, and served in the Wisconsin Union army. In 1870, he joined the federal army and while on tour in Dallas, NC, was jailed for stealing a pair of boots and missed his troops' departure. He ended up marrying a local girl, Catherine Wyatt, and spending the remainder of his life in Dallas NC. He died in 1923. It is known that he traveled to Wisconsin on several occasions, where he was a patient in the Wisconsin Soldiers Home (he was an alcoholic, among other things). He would check himself in as a single man and name his brother, Timothy Kampo, as his next of kin. John's obituary says his parents' names were Martin and Rosanne. It also says the original family surname was Herman. That Herman died either at sea or upon arrival in America and his mother married a man named Campo/Kampo. The children took their stepfather's name.I am certain of 3 siblings: Frank Kampo, Timothy Thomas Kampo, and Harriet Vanderheyden, though I believe there were more. Timothy's descendant sent me this information on him: Timothy Thomas Kampo was born in Amsterdam, Holland on November 30, 1848. On his birth certificate his mothers name is listed as Elizabeth Hermanan. Timothy went by two names Timothy and Thomas. Timothy was used on his gravestone and the obituary notice, but Thomas is on his death and marriage certificate. Timothy married Elizabeth Pfeiffer on May 3, 1870 at St. Joseph's Church in Appleton. Elizabeth was born in Maria Kulm, Bohemia on November 7, 1849. He was the proprietor of, the Fox River House, which was located at 501 Pearl Street. The street has since been changed to Appleton Street. He died on June 2, 1908 and is buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery. This descendant also writes this:The history of Kampo is very vague and unsubstantiated. The family came to WI in 1849 and settled in Little Chute. There was a group of immigr ants that settled in Little Chute, with a Father Van Den Broek in that year. The family may have come with this group. Then there is the story was married to a Harriet Eheren. Harriet husband died in New York, after arriving here from Holland. She then took her family to a Dutch settlement in Sheboygan, WI and then to Appleton where she married Kampo.There are stories that the children they had were: Timothy Thomas Kampo, John Kampo, Harriet Vanderheiden, Jane Myse, and Frank Kampo, and a woman with the last name of Halamut. me again:I don't know how much of this is true and it's difficult for me to resear ch from here (NC). I found in your Census the family of Martin Campen, wi fe Rosena Campen, with 7 children. The ages of John and Thomas are consist ent with the John and Thomas in my family.I still believe that the original surname was a variation of Herman and th at Kampo/Campo/Campen was a stepfather. I would like a little more proo f, but realize that would be difficult. What I would most like is to deter ine all of the Campo children and their fates, as well as the fate of the parents. Clearly the family has deep Catholic roots, so I would expect to find them buried in one of the Catholic cemeteries. Perhaps even S t. John's. One family theory apparently is that the parents moved to Peshtigo and died in the great fire. Another is that they died in Little Chute.I'm sure this is rambling - I'm fairly new to this research, though I'm learning quickly. If you have any questions or if you think you might be a le to help me, please get in touch.Sincerely,Cindy Schaefer1012 Wilshire Dr. Cary NC 27511 EMAIL cschae fer63@nc.rr.com

  Obituary	3 Jun 1908
  Appleton Post Crescent
  The following is an excerpt taken from the Appleton Post Crescent newspaper on June 3, 1908Timothy Kampo, 501 Pearl Street, one of the pioneer residents of this ci ty passed away at 11:45 am June 2 after an illness with Brights Disease ex tending over a period of eight months. Although the illness, which ended Mr. Kampo's life of sixty years, made itself manifest about a year ago, and he had been in falling health since that time, not until about eight months ago, did the members of the family realize his serious condition .Timothy Kampo was born in Holland, and came to this country with his parents, when he was but one year old. Fourteen years of his boyhood were spent at Little Chute, where his parents first settled at which age he came to Appleton and procured a position with Dr.Byron Douglas as a chore boy. Upon leaving the employ of Dr. Douglas, Mr Kampo, then but a lad, entered the employ of G.I. Brewster, who conducted a stave factory. He worked under the employee of Mr. Brewster for nine years and remained an employee of the stave factory when it was transferred from the Brewster management to that of Mr. Spaulding, until the time it was destroyed by fire. It was at this time Mr. Kampo entered into the saloon business, and during this span of years conducted an orderly place on Pearl Street.Surviving are a wife and ten children, five sons and five daughters, Sister M. Albertona, Notre Dame Convent, Chicago; Elizabeth, Barbara, Rosa, and Agnes, all of Appleton; Joseph of Oconto, Henry of Neenah, James, Jo hn and Frank of Appleton.
