GEORGE CAMPBELL

	George Campbell is one of the industrious men, whose labors and
careful management of the resources of this country since coming here
have made for him a good competence for the balance of his career in 
this material world.  He located about nine miles southeast from Kettle
Falls, securing a quarter section by purchase, to which he added a
forty of school land.  His labors have been widely bestowed here since
coming and he is now the possessor of one of the fine estates of this
part of the county.  He has good buildings, plenty of excellent spring
water piped to them, first-class land, which is well improved and he
raises general crops and handles stock.
	George Campbell was born in New Brunswick, Canada, on April 27,
1852, the son of John B. and Isabel (Somervil) Campbell, natives of New
Brunswick and Edinburgh, Scotland, respectively.  They still live in 
Canada.  Our subject was educated in his native place and in 1866 came to
Detroit, Michigan where he wrought for two years.  Then he journeyed to 
Polk county, Minnesota where he farmed for the intervening time until 
1882, when he came to the Palouse country settling near Palouse city.
Saw milling, lumbering, and log driving occupied him there until the 
spring of 1892, when he came to his present place and commenced the
good work of improvement as has already been stated.  Mr. Campbell
devotes himself to general farming and raising stock, while his favorable
location for out range gives him every opportunity for success in this
latter line, which he is richly reaping.
	On December 20, 1891, Mr. Campbell married Mrs. M.E. Summers, nee
Kimberlain, the daughter of Jacob and Delilah (Harper) Kimberlain, natives
of Missouri and still living in Crawford county, that state.  Mrs. 
Campbell was born in Missouri, on November 26, 1853.  She was formerly 
married to George Summers and they came to the Palouse country in 1879,
where Mr. Summers died, leaving four children: Charles, of Davenport;
Mrs. Julia Ann Breeding, of Palouse; Frederick E., of Palouse; Willis.
To Mr. and Mrs. Campbell has been born one son, Roy S.  They are highly 
respected citizens and have won hosts of friends by there geniality and
uprightness.
