JAMES CAMPBELL, a farmer near Davisville, is the son of M. and Agnes (Crummy)
Campbell, natives of Ireland, and was born June 10, 1837. In 1848 the family
removed to St. Louis, Missouri, and two years afterward to Lee County, Illinois,
where the father died in 1856. Mr. Campbell, our subject, then resided in Kansas
four years and then, in 1860, came to California. The first year here he worked
in the mines; the second year in the lumber business; the next six years he
drove a mule team between Sacramento city and Virginia City, and next went to
Davisville and rented land of Green & Hutchinson, for six years, and finally, in
1876, he purchased the place where he now lives, which contains 265 acres, a
mile west of Davisville.

  In 1867 he was united in marriage with Ellen Fitzgerald, in Sacramento, and
their four children are: Ella, born in 1869; Mary, 1872; Frank, 1876; and
Charlie, 1879.
