ALEXANDER CAMPBELL was born April 15, 1834, in Mercer County, this 
State, and when about fourteen years of age was removed to Independence, 
Mo., where he resided for many years, being engaged extensively in the 
milling and grocery business.  At the time of the war he joined the 
Confederate ranks, but sickness prevented any extended service.  He is a 
son of James and Catharine (Bradshaw) Campbell, natives of Virginia and 
Kentucky respectively.  The father was one of the earliest settlers in 
Mercer County, Ky.  He was fond of the chase, and found especial delight 
in a pack of hounds, but was altogether a man of steady habits and great 
hospitality, and although a carpenter by trade, devoted most of his life 
to the prosecution of his farming interests.  He reared a large family 
of children, of whom eight are now living - Whitaker, Jane, Benjamin B., 
Mary, Catharine, Alexander, Susan and T. C.  Our subject was first 
united in marriage to Miss Ardenia Hockensmith.  She died in 
Independence, Mo.  There were two children born of this marriage, one of 
whom survives - Lee W., now engaged in the boot and shoe business in St. 
Louis, Mo.  Mr. Campbell's second wife was Miss Sallie B. Hill, of 
Jessamine County, this State.  She died at Lexington, Mo.  To this 
marriage were born three children, of whom two are living, Maggie and T. 
C. who reside with their father.  Mr. Campbell was subsequently married, 
after coming to Christian County in 1870, to Miss Graeme McCarroll, a 
daughter of Dr. John McCarroll, an old settler in this county.  This 
union has given two children, Alexander and Graeme.  After locating in 
this county, Mr. Campbell engaged in the grain and mercantile business 
in the town of Casky, and after moving to Hopkinsville shortly 
afterward, gave his attention to the revenue business and that of tax 
collector, having served in the capacity of Deputy Sheriff for several 
years.  He is a man of social prominence and substantial worth, and is 
held in general esteem by his fellow-citizens.  He is identified with 
the Democratic party, which has on several occasions honored him with 
the nomination for important official positions.
