     CAMPBELL, CALVIN W.  During the ten years of his residence at West Palm 
Beach CALVIN W. CAMPBELL has been almost continuously associated with some 
public office.  He is now postmaster, handling the details of this first class 
post office to the general satisfaction of all concerned.
     Mr. CAMPBELL was born at Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio, March 10, 1887.  
He represents some old and prominent families of that historic region, not 
least among the distinctions of which is that of being the birthplace of 
WILLIAM McKINLEY.  His parents were GEORGE C. and AMY (WILSON) CAMPBELL.  His 
father’s mother was EUSEBIA McCOMBS, one of the pioneer families in that 
section of the old Western Reserve.  AMY WILSON was a daughter of JOHN KEY 
WILSON, who was born at Dundee, Scotland.  Mr. CAMPBELL on both sides 
represents sterling ancestry.  GEORGE C. CAMPBELL, his father, was elected in 
1902 county clerk of Trumbull County, and in 1903 the family removed from 
Niles to Warren, the county seat.  GEORGE C. CAMPBELL was in the office of 
county clerk for a number of years, and died at Warren in April, 1922.
     CALVIN W. CAMPBELL was reared and educated in Trumbull County, and 
graduated from the Warren High School in June, 1906, and on the same day he 
went to work in the office of the clerk of the court of Trumbull County under 
his father.  He had a thorough training, and continued the duties of that 
position until January 1, 1911.  For a portion of the time he was also 
connected with the city engineer’s office in Warren.
     Mr. CAMPBELL in October, 1913, came to West Palm Beach, and from that 
date until January, 1921, he served as deputy state and county tax collector.  
In the fall of 1921, he was appointed acting postmaster, and on March 2, 1922, 
was commissioned postmaster.  His commission was confirmed by the Senate on 
March 4, 1922, on the same day that the senate confirmed the appointment of 
Doctor HUBERT WORK as postmaster general.  Doctor Work signed Mr. Campbell’s 
commission.
     He is a member of the Kiwanis Club of West Palm Beach and has been active 
in various organizations of a civic and social nature.  He married Miss 
DOROTHY BARTHOLOMEW, who was born and reared in Trumbull County.  Their three 
children are GEORGE ST. CLAIR, CALVIN ROBERT and DOROTHY JUNE.
