General Notes: Husband - William H. Campbell

---

He completed his schooling at the age of eighteen, then entered the employ of the old Lake Shore Railroad. After holding minor positions for two years he was appointed car inspector for the company at Ashtabula, Ohio, and held that position for four years, when he returned to Jamestown to assume his share of the estate, the paternal farm having been divided between himself and his brother, Frank. This was in 1901. He purchased eighteen acres of the Anderson farm, and later, ninety acres of the old Moreland estate, and thirty-two acres adjoining, which, added to the portion of the Campbell farm which came to him, made his property among the most valuable of Mercer County’s country places. In 1904 he erected a commodious barn at a cost of four thousand dollars, with a double silo for his large stock of cattle and an extensive granary. His dairy was one of the largest and finest in that part of the county. His milk supply was from forty-eight head of choice Jersey cattle, who consumed three tons of feed monthly. The cream separator was operated by power, and the dairy products were principally shipped to Sharon. The estate was known as the “Prospect Hill Stock Farm” and was only half a mile from Jamestown. He was a Democrat in politics and, although popular and honored with the confidence of the entire community, never evinced an inclination to seek public office. He was long a member of the Presbyterian Church.
