   LEMUEL R. CAMPBELL is a son of the late Gov. William B. Campbell, who stood

at the helm of-the state in the trying and critical period just preceding the

Civil war. He has never cared to take an active part in politics, preferring to

devote his time to the practice of his profession.



   Lemuel R. Campbell was born at Lebanon, Tennessee. As has been mentioned he

is the son of William B. Campbell, his mother having been Frances J. (Owen)

Campbell. After completing his elementary work he entered Cumberland University

and was graduated from this institution with the degree of A. B. He later

entered Vanderbilt University and received the degree of A. M. He is a member of

the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Determining to study law, he entered the law

department of Columbia University, New York, from which he was graduated in 1883

with the degree of LL. B.



   In 1884 Mr. Campbell began the practice of his profession in Nashville and

since that time he has given himself almost exclusively to his work as a member

of the bar. In politics he is a member of the Democratic party, though reserving

the right to vote independently should occasion demand it. For many years Mr.

Campbell has served as a member of the board of trustees of the Tennessee School

for the Blind, at Nashville, and for a long time has been secretary of this

board. He is a member of the First Presbyterian church, of Nashville, and was

one of the charter members of the Old Oak Club.



   In 1893 Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Johnnie Marshall, a daughter of John

Marshall, now deceased, who was a prominent lawyer of Nashville, and Ellen

MeClung Marshall, who was from Knoxville, Tennessee. They have three sons,

William Bowen, Matthew McClung and Francis Russell Campbell.
