SAMUEL CAMPBELL

Samuel Campbell, a well-known livery man of St. Clairsville, was born in
Wheeling township, July 23, 1838, the son of John and Maria L. (Irwin)
Campbell. His father was born in 1806, a son of William and Mary (Smith)
Campbell, the former of whom was a native of Scotland. John Campbell was
reared in Belmont county, and followed the carpenter's trade until his
marriage, after which he engaged in farming until his decease, which
occurred in 1863. By his first marriage he had one son, the subject of
this mention. The mother of the latter was born in 1816, and died in 1845.
In 1847 the father was married to Cynthia McCullough, and by this union had
five children, three of whom are living: Sarah, W. V., and Robert M.  Samuel
Campbell was reared on a farm near Flushing, where he received his early
education in the common schools, afterward attending Franklin college during
two terms. In 1869 he was married to Isaline M. Sharp, who was born in 1839,
in Wheeling township, the daughter of William and Caroline (Harrah) Sharp, and
they then began house-keeping on a farm near Loydsville, which he cultivated
until 1884. At that date he removed to St. Clairsville and established the
livery business he has since conducted with much success. He and wife are
members of the Presbyterian church, and are highly esteemed in the community.
