Campbell family reunion in Lakeview, Ohio abt. 1889

I have a picture postcard of my Campbell ancestors at a family reunion. On the back, handwritten is "August 1, Lakeview, Ohio." There is a place for a stamp - it is a regular old postcard, no border, sepia tone.

I inherited it. My 2nd great grandfather, Thomas Henry Taylor, is in it, and he died in August, 1889 - he was married to Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of John L. Campbell. Their son, my great grandfather, Murray Wilson Taylor, married Martha Eloise Campbell, daughter of John Wallace Campbell and Zebuline Clarinda Rhodes Campbell. They all resided in Allen/Auglaize/Shelby counties (as time went on and counties changed.)

Does anyone know anything about a Campbell family reunion in Lakeview, Logan County, in August of 1889 or so? There is one young man in a soldier uniform, but I can't tell what kind it is. It is a picnic table, with the large family gathering, a small house right behind them, and a horse in the background.

Maybe there was an article in a local paper? Any help would be appreciated.
