Joe. Buckley was born in Philadelphia, September 7, 1835; he died in New York City, July 19, 1884.
Charles Henry, one of the oldest ballad singers in minstrelsy, was living as late as 1886; he is said to have died in England.
Charles Templeton (Broughton). This well-known popular vocalist of minstrelsy, began his career in Dundee, Scotland, in 1857, with Tom Lee’s Minstrels; other succeeding European engagements were with the Pelham Bros.’ Minstrels and Templeton’s African Opera Troupe, the latter in the Spring of 1859; it was here that he took the name of Campbell, emulating the distinguished Sher. Campbell.
In the Fall of 1859 he came to America and was engaged by Dan Bryant for Bryant’s Minstrels, at 472 Broadway, New York City; at the suggestion of Bryant, he took the name of Glendale, so as not to conflict with Sher. Campbell, a warm personal friend of Bryant’s.
Late in 1859 he joined Sanford’s Minstrels in Philadelphia, resuming the name of Campbell; he remained there three years. Subsequently he became a member of the following well-known minstrel organizations: Hooley’s, in Brooklyn; San Franciscos, in New York, six years; a second and third engagement at Bryant’s, also Hooley’s; Geo. Christy’s, one year; Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West’s; Cotton and Reed’s; Cool Burgess’; Carncross, in Philadelphia; Neil Bryant’s and Cleveland’s. Also with such operatic companies as Pauline Hall’s, and E. E. Rice’s; his last engagement was with Camille D’Arville Company, about 15 years ago.
Charles Templeton was born at South Kirby, England, January 1, 1835.
