General Notes: Husband - Judge Joseph Campbell


His father died when the son Joseph was a young lad, leaving a widow and two children, with a farm in the woods, without horses, implements, or the means with which to secure them. Joseph worked with Rev. Joseph Henderson, on the latter's farm, and the mother and daughter took in weaving. Slowly the land was improved and the necessary stock and appliances were obtained.
He served in the various township positions, and as an associate judge for five years. He was among the earliest anti-slavery reformers in the county, and was among the earliest to be termed an abolitionist. He was among the first men in the county to sign the total abstinance pledge, and was among the earliest champions of the temperance cause in the county.
