GOOD SENSE FINANCIAL COACHING

Eugene Stegall - Chumuckla Class of '66

Betty called to let me know of Gene's passing and suggested folks could call her at either (850) 346-8174 or (850) 346-8154 to express condolences, or mail cards to 7318 Hayward Ave, Pensacola FL 32526.  She suggested that flowers or plants not be sent since she didn’t have any way to properly care for them following the funeral, and that Barrancas National Cemetery doesn’t permit flowers at graveside.

With Sincere Condolences to Gene's Family,

CHUMUCKLA 200 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH

Post by The Historic David Crockett Homepage.  (read this)

CHUMUCKLA SPRINGS UNDER ATTACK!

Much history this month, 200 years ago. RIGHT HERE. Read the following blog post. Note the Montgomery fort mentioned is not the Montgomery we know now, but a Fort near the Fort Mims ruins and Stockton, Al. RIGHT NOW in NOVEMBER, the Chumuckla Indian village was about to be attacked. Jackson's main army is marching toward New Orleans, having discovered information in Pensacola that the British were sailing with an army out of Jamaica to attack there.

At that point in time , The Redsticks had made Mess of things and allied with the Brits. The White sticks and other tribes wanted nothing to do with that or Tecumseh's Shawnee religion. THE 1812 war alliances and the 1813 Fort Mims massacre began a shift in American policy and public opinion away from assimilation and toward removal. All the tribal alliances with Jackson at the time were not enough to overcome the shift in thinking. Jackson, on becoming president, took an opportunity to lock in Democtratic Party power by removing the Indians to make way for settlers and the future of his party in the South.

He is a Charter member of Berrydale Baptist Church and was dedicated to supporting and ensuring the Church operated according to Biblical standards. His faithfulness was evident in his daily living and his life was his belief in action. He believed in attending church, helping others, getting along with each other, and working hard. His love of the Lord was followed by his love of life, family, and friends. Family and friends could always depend on him in times of need knowing that he would do whatever he could.

In January, 1945, during the Battle of the Bulge following the German break-through his feet were again frozen and sent for treatment. These injuries caused problems for the remainder of his life. After being discharged, he farmed and also gained employment at NAS Whiting Field and performed several different jobs during his 40+ years including Supply and Fuel. While working in Fuel he realized that a lot of fuel was being wasted using the system they had. He created and began using a system that saving the fuel. His superiors were so impressed with his system they proposed the system to their superiors and it was adopted as the approved method for fueling. His system was implemented nationally and he was recognized for his innovation.He leaves behind his loving wife of 66 years, Lillie Nell Anderson Campbell; six children: James Edward (Sylvia); Roger Earl (Joy); Anthony Wayne (Carolyn); Richard Lavon (Cindy); Raymond Lavon (Traci); and Nelda Kay (Ray) White; six sisters: Betty Jane (Bert) Larson; Alma Lois Simmons; Nadie Griswold; Catherine Simmons; Jewel Driskell; and Mildred Smith; 16 grandchildren: Kelly (Thomas) Ward; Tonya (Brock) Morais; Jessica (Matthew) Storey; Geoffrey Campbell; Chris Campbell; Scott Campbell; Kimberly (Jayson) Douglas; Kara (Daniel) Cook; Shane Campbell; Jonathan Campbell; Laura (Brian) Carnley; Levi Campbell; Sarah Campbell; Brittany White; Brandon White; Bethany White; and a multitude of great-grandchildren, and one great-great-child.He is preceded in death by his parents: Edward "Bob" Frank Campbell and Sallie Ola Slade Campbell; two sisters and two brothers: Willie Vera Spicer; Ann E. Campbell (infant); Franklin Campbell; and Ira "Son" Campbell.The family extends a heart-felt "thank you" to Dr. Muthusamy Velusamy for his incredible care of our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend, shining example, and hero. Dr. Velusamy treated him with expertise, compassion, and respect. He knew that he was elderly but he looked at him as a person not an age. When other doctors said that they wouldn't treat him Dr. Velusamy saved his life and extended it by years. We are eternally grateful for him. We also would like to thank the Hospice unit and doctors at West Florida Hospital who treated him who caringly helped guide our decisions and made his last days better.Funeral proceedings will be Tuesday, October 7, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. at Berrydale Baptist Church with Reverend Earle Greene officiating.

his life, Bernice, for the past 53 years and together they have a 
beautiful family.  He and Bernice have been members of Our Lady of
