General Notes: Husband - Edward M. Campbell

---

He passed his entire life in agricultural pursuits within the limits of Mercer County, PA. He not only conducted his own affairs with success, but was closely identified with the Mercer County Agricultural Society and the general progress of his vocation. Soon after his marriage in 1851, he located on a farm in Pymatuning Township where they remained until 1854 when he purchased a stock of goods from J. A. Waugh at Greenville, and there the family resided for the following five years. A change of location was then made to the Choctaw nation, Indian territory, and there Mr. Campbell engaged in mercantile and stock shipping operations. In the following year, however, he returned to Greenville, leaving his brother, William, in charge of the goods and stock. At the breaking out of the Civil war the Confederates took the stock, paying $17,000 in Confederate scrip, none of which was of any value. Edward M. then purchased a farm in Sugar Grove Township, Mercer county, of John Reznor. Politically, Mr. Campbell was always a Democrat, and filled the office of justice of the peace for fifteen years, and was school director for twenty-three years. He was president of the Shenango Agricultural Society one term and treasurer three years, and was master of the P. of H. of Mercer County for several years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Greenville. [HMC 1909, 695]
