THEODORE CAMPBELL,
who has been a resident of Goshen township for more than a half
century, resides in section 23, where he is engaged in farming and
stock-dealing. He was Jan. 12, 1841, and is a son of
William and Rachel (Welch) Campbell.
The paternal grandparents of Mr.
Campbell, Robert and Mary Campbell, were natives
of Scotland, who came to America at a very early day. During
the voyage, a son was born to them on the Atlantic Ocean, whom they
named William, and he subsequently became the father of
Theodore. Robert Campbell established a woolen mill at
Salem, Ohio, which he operated for a time, and the moved into Goshen
township, settling among the pioneers. His son, William
Campbell, became a man of considerable substance, through
dealing extensively in cattle, and his life was spent in Goshen
township, where his death took place in 1869. His surviving
children are: Benjamin F., residing in Green township; and
Theodore.
Theodore Campbell has spent the greater part of
his life in Goshen township, but for eight years was engaged in
farming in Berlin township. When his country called for
defenders, at the outbreak of the Rebellion, he left the comforts of
home and his peaceful surroundings and shouldered a musket and from
1861 to 1865 faced the dangers and hardships of war. He
enlisted Aug. 27, 1861, in Company E, Second Ohio Regiment,
Volunteer Cavalry, which became a part of the Army of the West, and
was with the 25th Ohio Battery much of the time of his service.
He participated in numerous battles, notably those of Prairie Grove
and Little Rock, and in skirmishes, raids and small engagements
without number, at all times displaying the cheerful courage which
marks the valued soldier. He was wounded on one occasion,
being shot in the left foot, while on duty, but not to permanently
disable him, and he was honorably discharged Dec. 25, 1865.
After the close of his military service, Mr.
Campbell returned to Mahoning County and resumed the peaceful
pursuits of agriculture. He was married Apr. 6, 1876, to
Mary C. Scroggy, who was born in New Jersey, and the
latter in Green township, Mahoning County. Mr. and Mrs.
Campbell have two children: Lewis S., residing in
Green township, and Helen, who married Perry Robb,
residing at Salem, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are well
known residents of this neighborhood and their comfortable,
hospitable home is often the scene of many pleasant gatherings.
