General Notes: Husband - Samuel R. Campbell

---

His school education was obtained in schools in Wheeling, West Virginia, and in Ohio, and he was then apprenticed to learn the machinist's trade. After he had served his time at this, he learned engineering, and held a license as chief engineer and also as captain. Upon the completion of this course he had no difficulty in obtaining a position as engineer on the Ohio river steamboats. During the years of the Civil War he was employed on boats carrying arms to the Union forces. He was in a number of dangerous places, one of his narrowest escapes being when he was on board the "Parthenia" when it was captured. He was also aboard the "Commodore Perry" when that ship was captured at Memphis. Although under fire on a number of occasions, he always escaped without a wound. Later he also served as captain, and alternated between these two offices until his retirement in 1911, being at that time one of the oldest men in river service, having commenced in 1856. He would not have retired even then, had it not been for a serious accident he met with in which he was immersed in icy water for an hour in February, 1911, and was almost drowned. During the last thirty years of his career on the river he was on the boats "The Hornet," "Dick Fulton," and the "Tom Reese." In political matters he always affiliated with the Republican party, and for a period of four years was assistant boiler inspector at Pittsburgh. He was a member of the American Mechanics. For more than forty-two years his home was at Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he and his wife were members of the Methodist Protestant church.
