   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.
