   Albert M. Campbell, of Bentley, Sedgwick county, Kansas, is a native of
Indiana. He was born at Bluffton, Wells county, that state, on October 3, 1869.
His parents were John M. and Mary (Falk) Campbell. The father was a native of
Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and the mother a native of Ohio. The ancestry
of the family is traced to Scotland and Ireland on the paternal side, and on the
maternal side to Germany. The father of Albert M. Campbell left Indiana and
moved to Sedgwick county, Kansas, on March 17, 1871, with his wife and one
child, and there homesteaded a quarter section in Section 2, Eagle township, and
there lived up to the time of his death, on April 21, 1894. During his life he
worked at his trade, that of a carpenter, of which he was master in every
particular. He followed his occupation up to the time of his entering the army.
He enlisted as a private in Company B, One Hundred and First Indiana Volunteer
Militia, and after his discharge from the service returned to his home in Wells
county, Indiana. The mother of Albert M. died in 1906. After the death of his
father Albert M. Campbell continued to manage the estate, and up to recently he
has rented the home farm. He and his brother have formed a partnership under the
firm name of Campbell Bros., and are now devoting their entire time to the
manufacture of concrete tiles and blocks. They have been kept constantly busy in
supplying the demand for their productions. The quality of their work is of the
highest class, and they have a big patronage in this vicinity and adjoining
counties. Mr. Campbell is a past grand member of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, Bentley Lodge, No. 446, and is a Republican in politics.
