General Notes: Husband - James C. Campbell


At the age of twelve years he took charge of his father's farm, the latter being a cripple. He cared for the farm until October 1, 1861, when he enlisted in Company C, Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, at Mercer. He was mustered into service at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at Camp Curtin, and discharged May 29, 1863, on account of disability, at Philadelphia, he having received a gunshot wound through the abdomen at the battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 13, 1862. He was in the general hospital at Alexandria, Virginia, from April until October, 1862, when he rejoined his command and participated in all the battles and skirmishes up to the time he was wounded. He remained on the battlefield eight days after being wounded, and when found was sent to the hospital at Washington, District of Columbia, remaining there until May 20, 1863, when he was sent to Philadelphia for his honorable discharge. After his return home Mr. Campbell engaged in the lumber business, continuing up to 1880, after which time he lived a retired life.
He was a member of the John C. Dickey Grand Army Post and politically a Republican. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church.
