General Notes: Husband - Howard David Campbell


He was reared in Butler and received his education in the academy there. After completing his education he went to work for a cordage company at Parker's Land­ing, remaining with that company until 1874, when he came to Franklin and entered the employ of his brother, James T. Campbell, in the dry goods business. In 1877 he removed to Edenburg, Clarion county, and was em­ployed by the Clarion County Bank for two ears: then went to Foxburg where he was engaged in the railroad business, being treas­urer for the Pittsburgh. Bradford & Buffalo railroad. He remained with this road until it was bought out by the Baltimore & Ohio Rail­road Company in 1880, when he went to Pitts­burgh as secretary and treasurer for the latter company, and held that position up to the time of his death. Mr. Campbell was a great fav­orite among his relatives and friends. His generosity, genial and happy disposition and unselfishness to do favors won for him a warm place in the hearts of all with whom he became acquainted. He was a good rail­road man; had been long in that service; was promoted from time to time and place to place until he reached and efficiently filled the re­sponsible place he occupied at the time of his decease. His good work did not end with official duty well performed, but was clearly seen in social, religious and home circles. He was a model husband and father, a true friend and brother, and a consistent and devoted Christian. He was a member of the North Presbyterian Church of Allegheny City, and had charge for a number of years of the mis­sionary department of the Sunday school. The Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph, speaking of his death, says: “A man of most generous impulses and amiable spirit, he endeared him­self to all persons of his acquaintance. A man of thorough integrity and veracity in his busi­ness he won the confidence of all. In the few years of his residence here he had formed an acquaintance with very many of our citizens, who held him at his true worth. He was one of the most promising young business men of the two cities. He was a member of the North Presbyterian Church, and had very much en­deared himself to its people.” [GPHAV, 807]
