General Notes: Husband - William J. Campbell


His parents came to America from Scotland. He was one of a family of eight children, the fifth in order of birth, and was the first one born in the United States. He learned the carpenter's trade and in 1869 he came into the oil country and followed tank setting. After marriage he lived for three years at Buffalo and then went to Bradford, Pennsylvania, and resided there for six years. In 1890, he started into business as an oil producer and located first at Golden City, near Saxonburg, and in 1898 purchased what were locally known as the Shiloh Wells, in Penn Township, Butler County. There were seven producing wells at that point and eight on the Samuel Kelly farm in Butler Township.
He was a member of the Odd Fellows.
