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.

JOSHUA
CLARK, New Castle township; farmer; postoffice, New
Castle; was born Feb. 10, 1808, in Harrison county, where
the town of Harrisville now stands, and which was, at that
time, in the woods. He is the son of John and Mary
(Boothe) Clark, who were the parents of ten children.
His father was Welsh and his mother of English descent.
They were Quakers, from the neighborhood of Philadelphia.
He came to New Castle township, with his father, when
he was eighteen years old, and settled on the land now
occupied by the village of New Castle, and, about three
years later, his father laid out the village of Liberty (now
New Castle).
At the age of twenty-one he married Miss Mary Given,
daughter of William and Elizabeth (Barr) Given.
She was raised on Wheeling creek, near Wheeling, West
Virginia. They then moved to Morrow county, Ohio, and
settled in the woods; but their stay here was short, on
account of the scarcity of food and labor, being three miles
from the nearest settlement where they could obtain the
necessaries of life. While there they lived in a cabin
with a fire-place in one end, the backwall and chimney
being but six feet high, and were therefore in danger of
attacks from wolves. They lived the first week in this
cabin without its being daubed, and the snow fell about
ankle deep.
He attended eleven raisings and log-rollings during the
first two weeks of his sojourn in that place. At the
expiration of about six months they had consumed about all
the provisions they had brought with them, and then began to
think it time to move, so they returned to New Castle
township, Coshocton county, where he is still living.
He is situated nearly two miles southwest of New
Castle, at the headwaters of the Wakatomica on a well
improved farm of about 500 acres. He has been twice
married. His first wife bore him four children, viz.:
William, Love M., Allen and Elizabeth.
William resides near East Union, Coshocton county;
Love married William Warton, of Butler township,
Knox county; Allen is a farmer of Jackson township,
Knox county; Elizabeth is the wife of Jesse Mercer,
of Jackson township, Knox county. He was married a
second time to Miss Eleanor Wilson, on the twentieth
of June, 1841, daughter of William and Rebecca (Jones)
Wilson; also of John and Eleanor Melick.
She was born Jan. 28, 1831, in Somerset county,
Pennsylvania.
This union resulted in eight children, viz.:
Thomas (deceased), Rebecca, Joshua, Martha, Charles
H., Robert H., Hannah S. and Samuel Mc. Mr.
Clark relates that when his father was moving to
this county, they came to Coshocton on Sunday, and had to
cross the river on a ferry boat, and that the whole town
came down to the river to help them across, and that in
ferrying the cattle across they had a good deal of trouble,
some of them jumping overboard and swimming back. Among
those of the village that turned out to assist them, were
Mr. Adam Johnson and Colonel Williams. He
also relates, that on arriving in New Castle township, after
two days heavy driving from Coshocton, they moved in a house
with one or two other families and lived two weeks there,
until they could build one of their own, and that there were
about twenty persons in all occupying the house during those
two weeks. On the farm where he now lives stands the
trunk of an apple tree, that measures ten feet, three inches
in circumference, that the seed or sprout had been planted
by Johnny Appleseed, who then lived upon the Mohican.
The trunk is about seventy years old, and in one specially
favorable season, bore 140 bushels of apples.

J.
E. COX, Keene township; postoffice, Keene, Ohio; was
born, in 1830, on Mill creek, Keene township, Coshocton
county, Ohio. He attended the common schools of the
township until twelve years old, walking three and one-half
miles, morning and evening. When twelve years old, he
attended a select school in the village of Keene, taught by
Rev. J. D. Whitham, and received instruction in the
higher English branches. He attended this school three
years, having to walk over three miles, morning and evening.
Mr. Cox began teaching in 1846, and is, perhaps, the
oldest teacher in the county. He taught his first
school in district No. 4, Clark township, in an old log
house, formerly used as a dwelling. There was no
blackboard, no desks, no furniture of any kind. The
seats were made of slabs and fence-rails, with wooden pins
for legs. The balance of the furniture consisted of
hickory withes, used to encourage refractory pupils up the
hill of science. Wood was used then instead of coal.
Many times the teacher found no wood in the morning, and was
either compelled to dismiss for the day, or send and borrow
an ax and, by the aid of the pupils, furnish his own wood.
After he had finished his first school, Mr. Cox began
the study of medicine with Dr. W. F. DeLaMater,
working part of the time to pay his board and tuition.
During the winter of 1846-7, he taught school in White Eyes
township.
He then continued the study of medicine under Dr. J.
Anderson, teaching in the winter and studying in the
summer until he had completed the course required. He
then went Wet to earn money to attend a course of lectures.
While in the West he met with an accident which rendered him
a permanent cripple, thereby changing his intentions in
life. He returned home and concluded to follow the
profession of teaching, which he has successfully done ever
since. His first certificate is dated Mar. 2, 1852,
and signed by Thomas Campbell, Esq., who was then
acting as county examiner. The only school that he
began and did not finish was in Bethlehem township; and the
failure was caused by a tree falling on the house and
rendering it unfit for further use. Mr. Cox has
taught in many of the county and village schools in this
county. He has always been successful, and has never
been compelled to ask the directors to aid him in governing
a school, which is something remarkable considering the long
time he has been teaching. His last school was taught
in district No. 8, White Eyes township, during the winter of
1880-'81.
