Born July 25, 1930, in Iredell County, he was the son of the late George and Georgia Sharpe Campbell. Luther was proud of his work and retired from Yadkin Valley Telephone Company. He was a loving and caring father and "Papaw". Not only did he love his own family but he and late wife, Ila Mae, had an extended family of foster children. Together they owned and operated their family business, "Family Crafts." He enjoyed crafts, gardening and woodworking. [2]

In addition to his parents and his wife he was preceded in death by daughter, Rachel Ila Stadtfeld; two brothers, Hue and Wayne Campbell; and four sisters, Martha Snow, Magdalene Ellis, Lessie Williams and Esther Moore.

The only documented Richard Mullis prior to 1811 Iredell Co., N. C. was\

Richard Mullis b.c. 1690 in Lancaster Co., Va. His son John, was in Orange Co., N. C. by 1755 and in 1762 initiated a land grant on which survey crew was a Richard Mullis: whether that was his father or a son is unknowable. I would love to discuss this further with interested researchers.
