General Notes: Husband - Dr. Hugh Campbell, M.D.
He was educated at Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania; afterwards read medicine and was graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1818. From 1815 to 1840 he was located at Uniontown in the practice of medicine and was one of the leading physicians of Fayette County. He was a fine scholar, a good linguist; ordained elder of the Presbyterian church at Uniontown and was until his death regarded as one of the pillars of that church. He was one of the pioneers of the early temperance movement in Fayette County which banished whiskey from the merchant's counter, the side-board and the harvest field. In 1860 he retired from the active practice of medicine, and from 1865 to 1868 was Warden of the Western Penitentiary at Allegheny City.
