This memorial to Olive Dame Campbell was featured in a 1954 issue of Mountain Life & Work, a quarterly periodical produced by the Council of Southern Mountain Workers (formerly the Conference of Southern Mountain Workers), an organization founded by John and Olive Campbell in 1913. Born in 1882, Olive Campbell died on June 14, 1954. Olive Dame Campbell also founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in 1925, named in honor of her late husband. This issue includes numerous articles about Olive Campbell, written by some of her closest friends and associates. Clementine Douglas writes of Campbell's leadership and vision in creating the Southern Mountain Handicraft Guild (later the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild), while Allen Eaton writes of Campbell's creation of the Folk School's woodcarving cooperative, later known as the Brasstown Carvers. Also included is a photographic portrait of Campbell by Doris Ulmann and a cover photograph by Betty Denesh of a creche set carved by the Brasstown Carvers.
