| GEORGE T. CAGLE |
| THOMAS
CAMPBELL (deceased), was born May 21, 1816, in
Steubenville, Ohio; attended school while a boy until
fifteen years of age, when, with his father, he settled on a
farm in Adams township, this county. In 1832 he
entered Franklin college, and remained two years. In
1835 he came to this city, and spent the first year clerking
and teaching school. In 1838 he entered, as a student,
the law office of James Matthews, and was admitted to
the bar March 4, 1841, at Steubenville. In 1842 he
commenced the practice of law in this city, and was elected
the following year to the office prosecuting attorney, and
was re-elected for the two succeeding terms, serving six
consecutive years. In 1852 he was elected probate
judge, being the first judge under the new constitution of
the State, term of office, three yeas. In 1866 he was
associated with R. M. Voorhes, firm name, Campbell
& Voorhes, attorneys and counselors at law.
Judge Campbell was married August 5, 1841, to Miss
Martha Wallace, of Mifflin county, Pennsylvania.
This union was blessed with six children, two of whom,
John and Patrick Steel, died at Corinth,
Mississippi. Those living are, Dr. James Campbell,
married to Miss Maggie Crimm, of Dennison, Ohio,, and
now residing in Iowa county, Iowa; Mary Jane, married
to Robert A. McKelley of Upper Sandusky; Isabelle,
married to Dr. Robert H. Bradley, now a resident of
Marshal county, Illinois, and William F., residing in
Iowa county, Illinois. Judge Campbell died very
suddenly on Wednesday morning, July 6, 1881. Up to the
time of his death he was in his usual health. He had
been at work about his office table the same morning.
A moment before the final summons he walked to a front
window, looked out and remarked upon the probability of a
rain fall during the day, and then turned and stretched out
his hand in the direction of a chair, when he suddenly fell
to the floor. Charlie Hunt, a law student, was
the only person in the office. He hastily stepped into
the hall and called to Mr. Bargar, who was in the
next room. Mr. Bargar and Mr. Triplett
in an instant were at the side of the prostrate form.
His collar was loosened and the body straightened to an easy
position, but by the time this momentary work was done there
was no sign of life. The vital spark had fled with his
fall to the floor, so quickly, perhaps, that no sensation of
pain came to the body before the spirit had flown.
Life went out as suddenly as the light of a candle is
extinguished. |
