General Notes: Husband - Alexander M. Campbell


For some years he attended the Nixon District School in Penn township, Butler County, PA, leaving this at the age of thirteen years, and commenced the active work of life as a driver of a delivery wagon for his father. This took him through the surrounding country, and although a boy in years he accomplished much of a man's work. In 1894 he was appointed by his father as deputy sheriff, and held this office until 1906, when he was elected sheriff of Butler County, and held the office until 1909. He then rented the Atlas Hotel in Butler and later became the proprietor of this, and in 1910 purchased the hotel at the corner of McKean and Center avenues. He was prominent as an oil operator, holding many local leases in this field. He was a member of Butler Lodge, No. 170, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, was exalted ruler in 1901, and represented the lodge in 1902 at the Grand Lodge Convention at Salt Lake City, Utah.
