  ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL was born September 6, 1828, in Cavan County, Ireland, and
is a son of Robert and Elizabeth (Coomey) Campbell, natives, respectively, of
Derry and Cavan Counties, Ireland.

  Robert Campbell was a Presbyterian clergyman. He emigrated to the United
States in 1829, and settled in Brooklyn, N. Y. He soon after connected himself
with the Episcopal Church. He spent a short time in Havana, and the rest of his
life in New York. He reared nine children.

  Our subject received a good commercial education. At the age of fifteen he
became a clerk in a dry-goods store, and a few years subsequently was made a
partner. In 1862 he went to Memphis, Tenn., and embarked in the book and
stationery business. In 1865 he located in Huntsville, and, in partnership with
a man by the name of Lutzell, engaged in the dry-goods business. This
partnership continued for two years. He then carried on the business alone for
two years, and formed a partnership with a man by the name of Baily, which
lasted six years. Since 1878 the firm name has been Campbell & Son, and the
business has been very successful. Mr. Campbell is interested in the North
Alabama Improvement Company, and the Huntsville Land, Building and Manufacturing
Association. He married Caroline E. Berry, a daughter of Thomas and Catharine
(Coomey) Berry, natives of Ireland. They have six children.
