    Age
    Brothers,
    I just received word today that J. Duncan Campbell, Pennsylvania Epsilon 34, passed away
    November 8, 2007 at Community General Hospital in Harrisburg , Pennsylvania .
    Duncan was born May 17, 1916, in Harrisburg ; he was the son of Dr. J. Moore Campbell and
    Rose White Campbell. He was also the widower of Margaret H. Campbell, to whom he was
    married for sixty-three years.
    He was a graduate of John Harris High School and Gettysburg College , class of 1937. Upon
    graduation he was commissioned as an Army Second Lieutenant, and subsequently earned his
    wings as an Army Aviator. He was teaching Military Science at Lehigh University when Pearl
    Harbor was bombed Dec. 7, 1941.
    Following active duty during World War II, Duncan was on the faculty of the Harrisburg Academy
    for many years, and subsequently served as the Secretary of the Phi Kappa Psi National
    Fraternity. Later, he became the first Director of the William Penn Museum , where he worked
    until his retirement. He was also retired from the U.S. Army Reserve, having attained the rank of
    Lieutenant Colonel.
    He held a life-long interest in U.S. military history, insignia and uniforms. He was a highly skilled
    archeologist and served as a consultant to the Smithsonian Institution and the Commonwealth
    of Pennsylvania . Among the sites he was retained to excavate and study were the
    Revolutionary War Encampments at Valley Forge and Morristown, N.J., as well as Fort
    Ticonderoga and Sackets Harbor, N.Y.; Fort Atkinson, Neb.; and Fort Adams, Miss.
    He was a Founding Director of the Company of Military Historians.
    An accomplished author, he published, among other books, a standard reference work on
    American Military Insignia 1800-1851 (Smithsonian Publications, 1951) and another on Aviation
    Badges of the United States Army, 1913-1946. He also wrote the Centennial History of Phi
    Kappa Psi, published in 1952. His final book, covering American Military Headgear Insignia, was
    published in 2004, when he was 88 years of age.
    He is survived by two sons, James D., N.Y. Alpha 59, of Camp Hill and John W. of High Point,
    N.C., five grandchildren (one being James Duncan Campbell III, N.Y. Alpha 90) and two greatgrandsons. Also surviving is a sister, Virginia R. Campbell, of Trinity, N.C.; and many nieces and
    nephews. He was predeceased by a brother, Dr. J. Moore Campbell, III, of Oklahoma City .
    Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2007 at 11 a.m. at the Hetrick Funeral Home,
    3125 Walnut Street , Harrisburg , PA. Reverend Richard Gordon will be officiating. There will be
    a visitation from 10:00 - 11 a.m. at the Funeral Home. Burial will be at Indiantown Gap National
    Cemetery .

    In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Endowment Fund of the Phi
    Kappa Psi Fraternity, 5395 Emerson Way , Indianapolis , IN 46226-1415 ; or the Doriane
    Heather Campbell Fund, Eastern North Carolina Chapter, 3101 Industrial Drive, Suite 210 ,
    Raleigh , NC 27609 ; or the Vista School , 1249 Cocoa Avenue , Hershey , PA 17033 .
    J. Duncan Campbell was a great brother, Order of the SC member, and a true historian of Phi
    Kappa Psi. He will be sorely missed as he enters the Chapter Eternal.
