H. Ball (1904) DR. CYRUS W. CAMPBELL. Dr. Cyrus W. Campbell, physician and surgeon with offices in the Majestic building at Hammond, Indiana, has carried on a successful practice in this city for thirteen years, and is one of the progressive and skillful practitioners of Lake county. He has been devoted to his professional duties, and still takes a studious interest in all that concerns medical science. His twenty years of experience has given him well deserved prestige among his fellow physicians, and the patronage which he receives in Hammond and surrounding country is evidence of his standing in the profession. Dr. Campbell was born in Monterey, Indiana, October 15, 1850, being a son of Francis G. and Delia (Campbell) Campbell, natives, respectively, of Ohio and New York. His paternal grandfather, Dugall Campbell, was a native of Ohio, of Scotch descent, a farmer, and was married three times, having a large family. The maternal grandfather of Dr. Campbell was a native of New York state, and had three children. Francis G. Campbell was a printer by trade, and in 1846 moved west and located in Monterey, Indiana, where he carried on real estate and merchandising business and also farming, and where he died in 1878, at the age of fifty-six years, being the incumbent of the office of county commissioner at the time. His wife had died four years previously, aged fifty-four. She was a member of the Methodist church. They had five children, four sons and one daughter: Elizabeth, the wife of H. S. Fausler, of Monterey, Indiana; Hiram F., of Hammond; Cyrus W.; William A., of Alger, Ohio; and Eli L., of Cotulla, Texas. Dr. Campbell was reared on a farm near Monterey, Indiana, and had the benefit of the district schools. In 1879 he entered the Medical College of Indiana at Indianapolis, and after completing the course began practicing in Blue Grass, Fulton county, Indiana, where he remained until 1891, and in the spring of that year located in Hammond, which has been the seat of his successful practice to the present time. October 30, 1873, Dr. Campbell married Miss Ellen Wallace, a daughter of James and Margaret (Babcock) Wallace. Seven children have been born to them, Margaret, Clarence, Ethel, Claudius, Fay, Murley and Dean. Clarence died at the age of thirteen months. Ethel married Frank Stakemiller, of Hammond, and they have two children, Donald and Ellen. Claudius is in the employ of the Hammond Company, being foreman of the casing department; he married Frances Kizer, and they have one son, Cyrus. The family are Baptists in religion. Dr. Campbell affiliates with the Knights of Pythias and the Maccabees, and is a member of the Kankakee Valley Medical Association. He is a Republican in politics, and is secretary of the board of health of Hammond. He owns his nice home at 326 Truman avenue, where the family extend an open-hearted hospitality to their many friends.
