In no vocation is there a career more open to ability than in that of the law, and in no profession is there demanded a more careful preparation. More thorough appreciation of the ethics of life, or of fundamental principles which form the basis of all human privileges and rights. Harry Campbell, junior member of the firm of Biddison & Campbell, of Tulsa, has won position and recognition at the Oklahoma bar through the possession of inherent ability, through careful training, and through sound recognition of the principles referred to. He was born in Hamilton County, Illinois, August 20, 1868, and is a son of James Madison and Eliza (Mitchell) Campbell. 
James Madison Campbell was born in Tennessee, in 1837 and was a child when taken by his parents to Hamilton County, Illinois, the family locating on a farm. Here he was educated, grew to manhood as a farmer, and adopted that calling as his own, being successfully engaged in farming and stock raising throughout a long and active career. A democrat in his political views, in young manhood he began to take an interest in public affairs, and subsequently became one of the prominent men of his community, being frequently called upon to serve in public office, and occupying the office of township supervisor for many years. He died in 1909, at the age of seventy-two years. Mrs. Campbell, who was born in Hamilton County, still survives her husband and is in her seventy-fifth year. They were the parents of seven children, of whom four are still living, and Harry was the third in order of birth. 
The public schools of Hamilton County, Illinois, furnished Harry Campbell with his primary education, following which he took a course in the Northern Indiana Normal School. Having decided upon a career in the law, he next entered the law department of Northwestern University, Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1893, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. At that time Mr. Campbell went to Oklahoma, just before the opening of the Cherokee strip, and took up his residence as a lawyer at Pawnee, where he was engaged in practice for two years. His advent in Tulsa occurred in 1895, and after some years of individual practice he associated himself with Lewis M. Poe and A. J. Biddison, under the firm style of Poe, Biddison & Campbell, the firm now being known as Biddison & Campbell and occupying a suite of offices in the Daniels Building, Nos. 605 to 609. Mr. Campbell's comprehensive understanding of the principles of law, his careful preparation of cases and his fidelity to the interests of his clients have gained him an enviable position. His standing among his professional brethren is high, and he is a valued member of the Tulsa Bar Association and the Oklahoma State Bar Association. He fraternizes with Delta Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and the Knights of Pythias. In politics he is a democrat. 
On October 19, 1899, Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Jennie Estill, who was born at Montgomery, Missouri, and to this union there have been born three sons: Fred, Hewett and Harry, Jr., All of whom are attending the Tulsa public schools.
