May B. 1882 have not been able to locate her. She
was alive in January 1900 when her brother Iver was

in 1900 at census time, listed as student.
Eldridge E. Campbell married second wife, Minnie Grace Moore, on April

George H. May 9, 1890 living in LA, Calif in 1945
Walter B December 18, 1895, died in 1918 in Nance County
Jessie M. January 30, 1898 married a man by the name of
Bock and was living in LA, Calif in 1945
Rhoda June 27, 1900 apparently never married.
Died in California.
Supposedly Eldridge E. Campbell was born in TN. His parents possibly were a James
Campbell and Melvina Whitaker who were married in August 1843 in Claiborne County, TN.
Apparently Eldridge's family moved to IA. There is a John Campbell, wife Melvina, in
Jones County, Clay Township, Iowa in 1850, 1852, and 1854. Been trying to get a full
census showing names of everyone in household. Missouri was checked out because Eldridge
served in the 7th Missouri Cavalry, Company A (Union). There is an Eldridge Campbell
listed in the 1860 Knox County, Green Township, Missouri census with a John Whitaker age
60. Eldridge is shown as age 15. This may be our Eldridge or this may be the Eldridge
Whitaker born to John Whitaker and Dorcas Campbell in 1845 in Claiborne County, TN.
