a wide range of reading and close observation he was prepared, and taught 
several terms of school after moving to Henry County. He emigrated to the United 
States in about 1850 and located at Cincinnati, where he was a city mail carrier 
for four years. Coming to Missouri in 1855, he settled in Henry County, and bought 
land and improved the farm where his family now resides. He was married May 5, 
1866, to Miss Mary Martin, also of Ireland, but who was reared and educated in 
Cincinnati, Ohio. Mrs. Campbell has a family of five children: Maggie May, Frank,
