C., Samuel, John L., Frank and Wallace, and an
only sister, Cora. John L. is united in

Mission Ridge, and died at Nashville, in January, 1863.
Alexander C., at the age of twelve years, went with
Captain L. Jackson, of the 31st Regiment, O. V. I.,
and afterwards went with his uncle, Samuel C. Campbell,
who was sutler of the 90th Regiment. After six months
service there he returned home, and entered the union school
of his native town. He afterward entered the drug
store of F. Moeller, in Somerset, where he remained
three years. He then clerked for H. C. Filler,
dry goods merchant, of Somerset, and from here he went to
Indianapolis, Indiana, where he served as clerk for the firm
of William Glenn & Co. From there he went to
Pekin, Illinois, where he served as clerk in a hotel, and
after one year's service, went to Butler, Bates county,
Missouri, and took the management of the store of W. T.
Smith & Co., where he remained four years. From
there he went to Kansas City, Missouri, an became commercial
traveler for J. M. Shelly & Co., in which capacity he
served eighteen months. He then returned to Ohio in
1874, and clerked for Thomas Drake, dry goods,
Somerset; afterwards for Benjamin Whitmer, grocer,
and from here he went to Shawnee, Ohio, where he took charge
of the mercantile business of William Shields &
Co., afterward J. C. Hamilton & Co., making all
purchases, and carrying a business amounting to as high as
$150,000 a year, and in this capacity the business
flourished for over five years. He is now connected as
commercial traveler for the wholesale house of Miller &
Hustons, Columbus, Ohio. His political career was
marked with eminent success as a manager of campaigns.
He was chairman of the Republican convention which first
nominated John H. Kelly for Probate Judge, and
Henry Martin for Sheriff, both successful in a county
which had been giving six hundred Democratic majorities.
He was a delegate to the state convention that first
nominated Charles Foster for Governor. He was
the only Blaine delegate to the state convention from the
Twelfth Congressional District, against a bitter and
powerful opposition. He nominated W. T. Shriver,
first and last, for Treasurer of the county, and H. C.
Greiner, the last time he was elected, in 1881, for
Representative. All these acts exhibited his keen
sagacity as a Republican leader, the majority of the
opposing party sinking as his tactics advanced to the front.
