   SAMUEL F. CAMPBELL, chairman of the board of selectmen of the
town of Windham, N. H., was born in Marlborough, Mass., May 21, 1882,
a son of Alphonso F. and Eliza M. (Johnson) Campbell.  He was reared
and educated in Windham, where he came with his parents as an infant, and
was graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 1902, after which he attended
the New Hampshire State College for two years and a half.  His father
dying in 1904, he returned home and took charge of the farm, the father,
although a carpenter by trade, being engaged chiefly in farming and stock
raising.  The son has continued his father's work, and now has thirty head
of registered Holstein cattle, of which he makes a specialty.  His farm is the
best stocked in the town of Windham.  In addition to his work in connection
with it, he is also interested in lumbering, doing a prosperous business along
all these various lines.  He has long taken an active interest in public affairs,
and in addition to his service as chairman of the board of selectmen, he is
also chairman of the school board and a member of the library committee.
In the Masonic Order he has advanced as far as the Council.  He also be-
longs to the Grange, of which he is master; to the Eastern Star Lodge at
Derry and the White Shrine, and is a member of the official board of the
Presbyterian church of Windham.
