Samuel Campbell, farmer and stock raiser, Stone Bluff, son of Joseph and
Sarah (Walker) Campbell ; the former a native of Kentucky, the latter of Ohio.
Joseph Campbell first emigrated to Preble county, Ohio, then to Wayne county,
Indiana, then to Vermilion county, Illinois, in 1837 ; then to Fountain
county, Indiana, in 1840 ; then to Livingston county, Illinois, in 1851, where he
died. Joseph is the son of John and Mary Campbell. Samuel Campbell, son of
Joseph, is one of a family of four children. He was married in 1851, to Sarah
A. Spinning, a native of Fountain county, and daughter of Isaac M. Spinning,
an early pioneer. Samuel by this marriage has eleven children. Following his
marriage he moved to Illinois, where he remained four years, when he returned
to Fountain county and purchased a farm, where he now lives. He was born in
Preble county, Ohio in 1823. He began life in limited circumstances. His
education was such as he could procure in the pioneer schools. He now owns a
farm of 280 acres of good land, fairly stocked. He is one of the successful
farmers of Van Buren township. In politics he advocates what he considers is for
the best interest of the people, no matter what the name of the party is. He
is generous toward that which he thinks will be of benefit to others as well
as to himself.
