John Campbell, one of the most extensive farmers and stock-dealers of 
Barton County, Mo., was born in Pennsylvania on the 10th of June, 1824, 
and is a son of Robert and Elizabeth (Trimble) Campbell, who were born
in Indiana and Lancaster Counties, Penn., in 1790 and 1805, respectively.
The father moved from his native State to Ohio, where he resided about 
fifteen years, and then moved to Illinois, where he died in 1874.  He 
was a carpenter by trade, and followed this occupation throughout life.
His wife is still living, and resides in Bloomington, Ill., with a son 
and daughter. John Campbell is the second of three sons and two daughters,
four of whom are now living.  He made his home with his parents until 
thirty-five years of age, marrying at this time Miss Margaret Rowland, 
who was born in Morgan County, Ohio, in 1835.  She died in January, 1889,
having borne a family of nine sons and two daughters: George, Robert, 
James, Lizzie, William, Mary, Charlie, Delivan, Jessa, Doc and Chapman, 
nine of whom are now living.  Robert died at the age of five years in 
1864, and Lizzie died at the age of thirteen years and nine months, in 
1873.  Mr. Campbell emigrated from Bloomington, McLean County, Ill., 
to where he now lives in 1881, and is at this time the owner of about 
1,200 acres of land in Central and Lamar Townships, and also two-thirds 
interest in the famous Iantha Roller Mills.  He is a stanch Democrat in 
Politics, and cast his first presidential vote for James K. Polk.  He is
an influential citizen, and is highly esteemed for his many good qualities.
