General Notes: Husband - Capt. A. B. Campbell

---

He was reared in Elizabeth township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, from the age of eight years, and received a common-school education. On the breaking out of the rebellion, in 1861, he joined Company M, 100th (Roundhead) regiment P. V. I., as second lieutenant, and was elected captain of the company after three months' service. He accompanied the first expedition that went south under Gen. Sherman to Hilton Head, participating in the taking of Forts Walker and Beauregard, and was among the first troops to occupy Beaufort, South Carolina. He was in the battle of Port Royal Ferry, South Carolina, and from Beaufort went to James Island, and participated in the fight of Secessionville fort. He was then sent with his regiment to Newport News, Virginia, and from there to Slaughter's Mountain as reinforcement to Gen. Pope. Soon after he took part in the battles of second Bull run and Chantilly, and was there driven back to Washington city by the enemy; afterward was engaged in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam and Fredericksburg, and was honorably discharged from the service in January, 1863. In 1864, with a party of five, he visited Virginia City, and in the autumn of the same year (1864), with a party of sixty-five, proceeded from there to the headwaters of the Yellowstone river (they being the first party known to make the trip), thence to the mouth of the Yellowstone at Fort Union, where it empties into the Missouri river. In 1865 he returned to his father's farm, in Elizabeth township, Allegheny County. In 1866 Mr. Campbell engaged in the general insurance business. He served as a member of the school board thirteen consecutive terms and two terms in the legislature, 1879-80, 1881-82. He was a member of the G. A. R.; in politics was a republican.
