After 75 Years in Central, Miss Olive Is in BR

Mrs. Olive Mullins Campbell has recently moved from her home on Hooper Road behind the Greenwell Springs Post Office to Williamsburg Senior Living Community at 5445 Government St. in Baton Rouge.

Mrs. Campbell lived in Central, or more specifically Greenwell Springs for 75 years, since her parents moved from Baywood to Roundsaville Road in 1941.  Her health necessitated the move but she greatly misses living in the home that she and her husband Cecil Campbell built in 1949.  She lived there until moving to Williamsburg.

Mrs. Campbell is an historian who has written extensively about the history of Central for the Central City News.

Her stories can be read online at www.centralcitynews.net:
