Born in Ashland Co., Ohio, in 1823, of the sturdy Caledonian ancestry whose name he bears, and moved to Knox County, Illinois, in 1861. In 1863 he removed from there to Mr. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa, and successfully installed and operated one of the first cheese factories and dairies ever introduced into southeastern Iowa. In 1879, Mr. Campbell moved still further west, to Monona county, Iowa, and became a farmer of the far famed Missouri bottom, at that time largely under water. Mr. Campbell was a Knight Templar, a life-long democrat, both in character and polities; was a profound and advanced thinker, always eager and active for the uplifting of humanity; served as representative for the 9th district, and was unanimously chosen by the Greenbackers as their candidate for governor of Iowa, and although defeated, ran immensely ahead of the ticket. He was twice a candidate for governor of Iowa on the Greenback ticket, twice a member of the general assembly as representative and twice a candidate for congress on the Democratic ticket.
