G. W. Campbell was born in Schuyler County, Ill., May 24, 1852, and is
the son of G. W. and Esther (Hornery) Campbell, who were born in North
Carolina and died in Hancock County, Ill., he in 1866, at the age of 
fifty-six years, and she in 1883, when sixty-eight years of age.  They
moved to Illinois in 1837, and, soon after the birth of their son G. W.,
moved to Hancock County, where they made their home until their 
respective deaths.  Mrs. Campbell wedded Benjamin Gould after the death
of Mr. Campbell.  The latter was a successful farmer, a Democrat 
politically, and he and wife were members of the Christian Church.  
He was a son on John Campbell, who died in North Carolina.  Six children
were born to their union, four now living, of whom G. W. is the youngest.
He received his education in the schools of Hancock County, and, being 
the youngest son, remained with his mother until her second marriage.  
November 6, 1873, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Worman, a daughter 
of D. D. Worman, of Hancock County, Ill., formerly of Pennsylvania, and
made his home in that county until 1884, when he came to Barton County,
Mo., where he owns 320 acres of good land, well improved.  The spring 
after his arrival in the county, he was elected to the office of justice
of the peace, and has served in that capacity ever since.  He and wife 
are members of the Presbyterian Church, and politically he is a Democrat.
