John Mathews Campbell, the manager of the United States Barytes Company, was
born in NY City, 18 Jan 1868. The same city was the birthplace of his
father, Wm Campbell (son of another John Campbell), a mechanic of Irish
descent. Wm Campbell went into a small mercantile business when he reached
manhood & remained in that line of work until a few years before his death,
in 1901. He was married in 1867 to Hanna Ann GALLEGHAR, of Brooklyn, and
John M. Campbell is the eldest of their three children. The two daughters
are now married, Mary Abigail to Mr. George NOONAN, and Helen Caroll to Mr
J. F. McLAUGHT. Wm Campbell died in 901, but his wife is still living and
makes her home with her different children. She is a member of the Catholic
church. Her husband was a Presbyterian.
John M. Campbell grew up in NY City and attended the public schoold of that
place, graduating from the grammar school in 1882. When he finished this
course he was apprenticed to a jeweler but later left the business to clerk
in the hardware house of H. T. Patterson & company. He remained there some
time and then went into an insurance and brokerage house, where he stayed
until his marriage, in 1894.
At age twenty-six, Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Catherine L. FARRELL of
Rochester, NY. Five children were born of their union & three of them are
living (in 1912): Lawrence John, Raymond Leslie & Arthur Edwin. After h is
marriage Mr. Campbell went into a stock brokerage company, where he was
bookkeeper and had opportunity to make money on the stock market. After
leaving this firm, he spent two years away from business, traveling with his
wife. He is the holder of the greater part of the stock in the McLaughlin
Press of Buffalo, NY. He is secretary and treasurer of this firm and his
borther-in-law, Mr. McLaughlin is president.
Mr. Campbell had invested considerable money in southeastern Missouri and
was sufficiently interested that he came to the region at the request of the
board of directors and took charge of the U.S.Barytes Co, at Tiff. His
family accompanied him here and are living in Tiff at present.
Mr. Campbell is a Republican in politics, as his father before him. His
church is the Episcopal and he is a Mason of the thirty-second degree.
