Pelemla "Lem" Richey grew up around Chattanooga, Hamilton county, TN. She was the daughter of Elizabeth Francis Hale Richey and Sanford Richey. Its not known at this time where they are buried or exactly when they died. She had several full siblings and several more half-brothers and sisters from her mother's first marriage to William Hale. Lem learned to play the accordion and fiddle and enjoyed playing those instruments for gatherings. She was talented at crocheting, tatting and embroidering as well. Her husband was a soldier in the Civil War. She later told that she stayed at his parents' home waiting to hear word of him for many months. She had given him up for dead but after the war ended, he returned home having spent time as a prisoner of war. Mr. Campbell died in 1886. Mrs. Campbell then divided her time between her living children and stayed with different ones until her death. At that time she was living with her son Arthur, a veterinarian at Prairie Grove, Arkansas. All of her children are linked to her.
