Notes for Arthur Campbell, Col.:
Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky - CAMPBELL, ARTHUR OF KNOX COUNTY - The famous Campbell family of the Scottish Highland was founded by Cailean Mor ("Colin the Great") who lived at Argyll nar the close of the thirteenth century. The name Campbell like Cameron, is derived from a nickname: "Caimbeul" meaning "Twisted mouth". The original form -Caimbeul- is from the Gaelic cam ("wry,twisted") and beul ("mouth"), supposedly an allusion to the personal appearance of an ancestor of the family. The principal Campbells of the Highlands came from the House of Argyll and from the Campbells of Breadalbane, Cawdor and Loudoun.

Colonel Arthur Campbell was one of the most distinguished pioneers of the Southeastern Kentucky. He was of Scottish extraction and was born in Augusta County, Virginia, November 3, 1754, old style, and died at site of present Middlesboro, then Knox, now Bell County, August 8, 1811. He was a man of importance and very influential in the early affairs of Southwestern Virginia and Southeastern Kentucky. He represented Fincastle County in the first constitutional convention of Virginia in 1776; was one of the first justices of the peace of Washington County, and of Fincastle County, 1773; was county lieutenant of Washington County; and was a lieutenant colonel of the (Washington County), Virginia militia. (1)

Colonel Campbell married his cousin, Margaret Campbell, daughter of Charles and sister to General William Campbell. In 1766 with his wife, he settled at Royal Oak, a mile east of present Marion, Smyth County, Virginia. Subsequently he settled on his plantation on Yellow Creek, site of present Middlesboro, Kentucky. He had acquired a very large estate of lands in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, negro slaves and other personal property at date of death, which was bequeathed to his widow and their children by will which was proved in the Knox (Kentucky) County Court in 1811.

(Listed 11 of the 12 children)

When Middlesboro first attracted the attention of the business people and was being developed, the grave of Colonel Arthur Campbell was discovered in an out-of-the-way place. The remains were removed by his Tennessee relatives and the grave newly marked. The grave was marked by an iron slab bearing the inscription:

"Sacred to the memory of Colonel Arthur Campbell, who was born in Augusta County, Virginia, November 3, 1754, old style, and after a well-spent life, as his last moments did and well could approve, of sixty-seven years, eight months and twenty-five days, ere a constitution preserved by rigid temperance and otherwise moral and healthy, could but with reluctance consent. (4) The lamp was blown out by the devouring effects of a cancer on the eighth day of August, 1811, leaving a widow, six sons and six daughters to mourn his loss and emulate his virtues.

"Here lies, entombed, a Revolutionary sage, An ardent patriot of the age. In erudition great, and useful knowledge to scan- In philanthropy hospitable, the friend to man, As a soldier brave Virtue, his morality. As a commander, prudent His religion, charity. He practiced temperance to preserve his health He used industry to acquire wealth. He studied physic to avoid disease. He studied himself to complete his plan. For his greatest study was to study man. His stature tall, His person portly, His features handsome, His manners courtly. Sleep, honored, sire In the realms of rest In doing justice to thy memory, A son is blest. A son is inheriting in full thy name, One who Aspires to all thy fame.

The praise and honor thine, who battled long. And didst assail the citadel of wrong With dauntless faith, and courage without pause, Despite the throttling power of evil laws That made the bondsman's shackles doubly strong, And would make freedmen slaves in common throng, Whilst cowards gave assent and meek applause.

Dear Hero of our age; thy work is o'er, Thou canst and needst no more thy warfare wage, In peace and joy thou sawst thy latest sun Thou hast the victor's crown for evermore, And leav'st to us for blessed heritage The faith well-kept, the good fight fought-and won! CHAMBERS BAIRD

I.R. Dec. 27, 1894 - At the family reunion at Hiram Campbell's, twenty-four persons sat down to the Christmas turkey.

I.R. Dec. 27, 1894 - Said we to Mr. Hiram Campbell when we met him in Drury Lane, "What is your thought, this morning, Mr. Campbell?"

"Well," said he, "I was just thinking if the members of the legislature concoct a session this winter, it will be a serious reflection on the republican party, and will sadly discourage republican voters. I am afraid this social session or reunion at Columbus, this winter, will dwindle into a meeting of the legislature itself. It looks that way now. Let them stay away from Columbus. We don't want any legislature. The people are opposed to it. Once in two years is enough."

EARLY IRONMASTERS WERE FOUR CORNERSTONES ON WHICH CITY OF IRONTON WAS CONSTRUCTED -I.R. Oct. 9, 1949 - . . . Hiram Campbell another of the ironmasters was born November 1810, in Fleming County, Ky., and was to be one of the founders of the city of Ironton.

He lived for a time in Brown county, Ohio, and later moved to Hillsboro at the age of 21 with his family. He published a newspaper there for several years and was joined in marriage to Rachel T. Starr a niece of David Trimble of the Trimble Iron Works of Greenup, Kentucky.

He became affiliated with the Mount Vernon Furnace in this county in 1836 and in 1842 served on the Ohio Legislature after being selected on the Whig ticket.

A daughter of Mr. Campbell married J. H. Moulton and the young Moulton joined with his father-in-law in organizing the firm of H. Campbell & Sons at Sarah Furnace in 1877.

Mr. Campbell resided at the corner of Fifth and Buckhorn streets in a beautiful home of 24 rooms which was the scene of many entertainments of famous personalities, including Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States.

__ W. Moulton, great grandson of Mr. Campbell has a diary which was written by his famous ancestor. Mr. Campbell died at his home July 31, 1896. . . (see rest of article on John Campbell, Col. J. H. Moulton and William Naylor McGugin - smk)

Ironton Weekly Register - August 8, 1896 - HIRAM CAMPBELL DEAD. HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE CITY OF IRONTON, - AND ONE OF THE PIONEER IRON MASTERS OF THIS REGION.-HIS LONG and USEFUL LIFE ENDS PEACEFULLY THIS MORNING.

Mr. Hiram Campbell, one of the pioneer iron masters of this region, and one of the founders of Ironton, died at this home on north Fifth street at 3:45 o'clock Friday morning. Mr. Campbell had been ill since Sunday last, but seemed to be getting better, and though confined to his bed, it was fully hoped, up to 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, that he would be up again. At the hour named, however, he took a relapse and gradually sank until death came. His death was peaceful, and his spirit passed away with scarcely a perceptible struggle. Mr. Campbell was on the streets Satuday and was apparently in his usual health. On Sunday, he became ill, being affected with a trouble of the bowels, and was confined to his bed. He was tenderly cared for, however, and appeared to be getting better, and even, on Thursday was able to sit up in bed and was in good spirits, until the change came. His children, who are in the city, and other relatives, were with him till a late hour last night, and, when it was believed he would survive through today at least, they departed. His son-in-law, Col. J. H. Moulton, and his nurse, Mr. Wm. Winston, remained to minister to him and were at his bedside when he died. He was conscious almost to the last moment. Hiram Campbell was born in Fleming County, Kentucky, in November, 1810, and when quite a lad came with his father's family to Brown county, Ohio. When about twenty years of age he went to Hillsboro, Ohio, where for a few years he published the Hillsboro Gazette. While there he married Rachel T. Starr, a niece of David Trimble, of the Trimble Iron Works in Greenup county, Ky. He later became connected with threse works as book-keeper at Argillilte Furnace, in which capacity he served for five years. In the meantime Mrs. Campbell died. In 1836 he became clerk and part partner in Mount Vernon furnace in this county. This furnace was built in 1834 and was one among the earliest furnaces in the Hanging Rock region. Mr. Campbell eventually became its sole proprietor. He was one of the organizers of the Ohio Iron and Coal Co. by whom the city of Ironton was founded, also of the Iron Railroad which was built to connect the rich mineral fields with the Ohio river. He was one of the organizers of the Big Sandy Packet Co. whose boats still ply between Cincinnati and Pomeroy. He was also engaged for a time, in the foundry business with Mr. Cyrus Ellison and others, and was connected with a number of other enterprises. In the fall of 1842, Mr. Campbell was elected on the whig ticket to represent Lawrence county in the Ohio legislature and served in the sessions of 1842-1843. In April, 1836, he married Sarah H., daughter of Joseph I. Woodrow of Hillsboro, Ohio. The results of this union were five children. These are, John W., Joseph H. and Harry H. Campbell, and Mrs. J. H. Moulton, who survive him, and Mrs. B. M. Caldwell who died several years ago. In 1877 Mr. Campbell and his sons and two sons-in-law, constituting the firm of H. Campbell & Sons, erected Sarah furnace in this city which they operated most carefully, for some eight years, when they sold it. After this Mr. Campbell did not engage in any business enterprises, but retired from all business cares to spend the rest of his days in the quiet enjoyment of the fruits of his long and successful business career. Mrs. Campbell died in January 1892, thus preceeding her aged husband but a few years. Mr. Campbell was a man of gentle nature, who all his life enjoyed the friendship and confidence of all who knew him. He was charitable in the broadest and fullest sense of the word, and hundreds of needy ones have been benefitted and had their burdens lightened by his kindly aid, so quietly and unostentatiously bestowed, that few but the recipients knew of it. Besides being a friend and helper of the needy, Mr. Campbell, and his honored wife, too, during all their lives, were almost prodigal givers to every worthy cause. Mr. Campbell took a keen interest in all that pertained to Ironton and her welfare. Politically he was a staunch republican though after his retirement from business took no active interest in political matters. During the later years of his life his chief delight has been in his flowers of which he was an extensive cultivator. He was exceedingly fond of them, and his elegant home was always fragrant with them. He believed the care of them was conducive to his health, and this added a further zest to his enjoyment of them. Though his life was well rounded out and he had lived far beyond man's allotted three score years and ten, still the community, and his associates and friends, were not ready to give him up. He had not out-lived his usefulness or his powers for good. His death will be sincerely mourned, and his loss be felt, not alone by his relatives and immediate friends, but by the entire community. LAID TO REST IN WOODLAND - The funeral of Mr. Hiram Campbell took place Sunday afternoon and was attended by a large concourse of relatives, friends and citizens generally. The services were conducted by Revs. Moran and Geo. H. Geyer at the late home of the deceased on north Fifth street, where many citizens gathered to pay their last respects to one whom they had known so long and honored so much as a friend and citizen. The pall-bearers were Messrs. E. B. Willard, John Hayes, S. B. Steece, E. Bixby, W. A. Murdock and E. S. Wilson. The interment took place at Woodland, and the remains were followed to their last resting place there by an unusually large cortege.

Notes for Rachel T. Starr:
Ironton Weekly Register - Aug. 8, 1896 - OBIT of Hiram Campbell states that Rachel was a niece of David Trimble of the Trimble Iron Works in Greenup Co. KY

No children of this marriage in these records.

He also married (19) Sarah E. Woodrow, daughter of Joseph I. Woodrow, who was born 1816 in Hillsboro, OH. Sarah E. died Jan 1892.

Notes for Sarah E. Woodrow:
Sarah was a niece of Gov. Allen Trimble of Ohio, and a relative of D. T. Woodrow, deceased, of Cincinnati, Ohio.

I.R. Oct. 24, 1878 - Mrs. Hiram Campbell has received from an acquaintance in Canton, Miss., a request for aid. The lady who writes threw open her house for yellow fever sufferers, treated them as her own family, and was afterward compelled to burn up her beds, bedding and other household property. Mrs. Campbell proposes making up a donation, and if any desire to join in the good deed, either by gift of money or bedding, should send in their gifts promptly.

I.R. Dec. 31, 1891 - Mrs. Hiram Campbell is very sick and her death is looked for any moment. (Note from smk - Mrs. Campbell died in Jan. 1892 but the Ironton Register newspaper for that year was in very poor condition and pages were missing, so we were unable to find her actual obituary. (Also, during this period of time an epidemic of Grippe was going around and is possible that she died from this).

I.R. April 14, 1892 - DAVID T. WOODROW, a well known business man, died at Cincinnati, last Sunday. Some 25 years ago Mr. Woodrow was connected with some iron firms here. He was a partner in the Ironton foundry, Campbell, Ellison & Co.; the Ironton Rolling Mill, and Howard furnace; Woodrow, Campbell & Co.; and again in the Ironton foundry, when the firm was Woodrow, Mears & Co. He was a cousin of the late Mrs. Hiram Campbell.

I.R. November 19,1896 - MRS. CAMPBELL'S WILL - The will of Mrs. Sarah E. Campbell, wife of the late Hiram Campbell, was filed for probate last Monday. The instrument was written by Mrs. Campbell herself, in due legal form, and was signed Aug. 5, 1889, in the presence of H. S. Neal and E. Bixby. The bequests, in brief, are as follows:

Solid silverware to her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Caldwell, China and glass, plated ware and table linen to her two daughters, Maria Moulton and Minnie Caldwell. all household effects except a few special bequests, to her two daughters. Her wardrobe to her sister, Miss Maria Woodrow. To Miss Woodrow also, a $3500 note of the Campbell Iron Co., she to use the interest through life and assign or bequeath the principal to Mrs. Campbell's grandson, Carl W. Moulton. $9575.70 loaned to Campbell Iron Co., and her Ironton Gas Co. stock, to her two daughters. $2400 annually from the Campbell Iron Co. to Miss Woodrow, for the use of decedent's husband, Hiram Campbell, and any of this sum remaining at his death is bequeathed to the grandchildren, Hiram Campbell, Elizabeth A. Moulton, Mildred and Maria Campbell, and Halsted W. Caldwell. $500 to Mrs. H. H. Campbell. All other property to her daughters and sister, share and share alike. Oil portraits to Joseph H. Campbell as requested.

The bequests of household goods were not to take effect till the death of her husband. "Until that time," she writes, "I desire everything to remain in the house as at present, to be used for his comfort and welfare."

Three codicils are attached to the will, but as there were no witnesses to these, they have no effect in law. They are dated Sept. 26, 1889, Apr. '90 and Sept. '90, and undertake to bequeath respectively, $500 to Mrs. J. W. Campbell, $500 to Miss Woodrow, and since the death of Mrs. Minnie Caldwell, the silverware and household goods left to her and Mrs. Moulton, to Mrs. Moulton alone.

The will has been admitted to probate, and H. S. Neal was appointed administrator, by request of the heirs.

Campbell, age 81 years, last of the old Campbell family associates with the founding and early life of Ironton passed away at his home in Tazewell, Va., Tuesday at noon, according to word received by Ironton relatives and friends. No particulars of the death were given.

Mr. Campbell will be remembered by all the older residents of Ironton as he was associated with business life here before and after the Civil War, through which he served. He was a son of the late Hiram Campbell, who was a cousin of John Campbell, founder of Ironton. In his early business life he was manager of Mt. Vernon Furnace, retiring from that field some thirty years ago to open a lime kiln near Tazewell, Va. This venture was a most successful one and he retired from active business pursuits seven years ago.

Mr. Campbell's family resided at Fifth and Etna streets while he was located here in a house razed years ago to make way for erection of the present I. A. Ryan home. His wife preceded him in death but one son and one daughter survive; H. D. Campbell of Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. Vernon Herron of Los Angeles, Cal. Carl Moulton, Mayor J. Harry Moulton and Lawrence Campbell, all of Ironton, are nephews of Mr. Campbell. Members of the old Campbell family who preceded him in death were Joseph and Harry H. Campbell, Mrs. J. H. Moulton and Mrs. B. M. Caldwell.

All relatives and many friends of the venerable man will be sorry to learn of his death. He was born on December 24, 1846 at Mt. Vernon Furnace, removing to this city while young in years.

Carl Moulton of Fifth and Lawrence streets, his nephew, received a telegram from the son this afternoon advising that the body would be returned here for burial. Mr. Campbell always desired cremation. Mr. Moulton was informed, and his last wishes will be complied with the ashes being buried at Tazewell.

Campbell, editorial writer of the Commercial Tribune at Cincinnati, O., Monday morning, was a decided shock to the friends and relatives in this city. A telegram received Monday, announced that the body would be brought here for burial Wednesday. Complete arrangements have not yet been made but the remains will be consigned to earth in beautiful Woodland under the direction of Bingaman and Jones.

Mr. Campbell was one of the county's pioneers and known throughout the southern section of the state. He was a brother of Mrs. J. H. Moulton, L. H. Campbell, of this city, and J. W. Campbell of Virginia.

Concerning the deceased this morning's Cincinnati Times Star has the following: Joseph H. Campbell, 67, editorial writer for the Commercial Tribune, author of "Notes and Comments," and widely known newspaperman, died suddenly in the billiard hall of the Moning(?) hotel on Lower Vine Street, shortly before noon Monday. "Uncle Joe," as the verteran paragrapher and philospher affectionately was called, had seated himself in a chair to watch a game of billiards when the came ____fully. Near him at the time was his intimate friend, Dr. Charles Mus___. The physician saw the veteran newspaperman's head nodding gently ______ his head, as if he were falling asleep. But the experienced eye noted at once that something was wrong. A moment later Mr. Campbell was dead. Efforts that were made in the hope that there still might be a faint spark of life were without success.

Monday morning when Mr. Campbell left home, he seemed to be in good health, although he complained of a slight "heartburn" an ailment new to him. After Coroner Foertmeyer had been notified the body was removed to the home on Baker place, of Attorney Frank Dinsmore, his son-in-law.

Mr. Campbell's wife died many years ago. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Frank F. Dinsmore, and Mrs. M. H. Burton, the latter of Mt. Washington.

"Uncle Joe" Campbell was loved and respected by thousands of Cincinnatians. He came to this city from Ironton, O., twenty years ago, after losing a large fortune in the iron business there. He became engaged in newspaper work, and from that time until his death he had been active in his field. As the editor of the "Notes and Comments" column in the Commercial Tribune, the homely advice and dry humor which he meted out in his writings was read and appreciated by practically every reader of that paper.

In the last column of "Note and Comment," which Mr. Campbell wrote published in Monday's paper, on the day of his death, is one regarding a poem entitled, "What is Time?" The poem reads: !What is Time? "I ask'd an aged man, a man of cares, Wrinkled, and curv'd and white with hoary hairs: "Time is the wrap of life," he said, "O tell The young, the fair, the gay, to weave it well."

I ask'd a dying singer, ere the strokes of Ruthless death, "life's golden bowl had broke," I asked him, What is Time? "Time," he replied, "I've lost it. Ah, the treasure," and he died.

Notes for Mary C. "Mollie" Norton:
I.R. April 25, 1872 - THE WEDDING - Last Thursday evening was dismal and rainy, but the Presbyterian Church was, nevertheless, filled with a gay and happy throng, gathered to witness the nuptials of Mr. Jos. H. Campbell and Miss Mollie C. Norton. The ceremonies were conducted in an impressive manner, by Rev. H. Calhoun who was assisted by Rev. J. H. Young. When the bright affair at the church had concluded, the joyful twain repaired to the residence of Mr. F. D. Norton, the bride's uncle, where preparations had been made on a grand scale. Nearly four hundred invitations had been issued. Soon after the arrival of the bride and groom, the guests began pouring in, and for an hour, the stream was almost incessant, filling the capacious parlors and halls, as to leave only comfortable standing room. The bride and bridegroom met with the most profuse and hearty congratulations, and received with an urbanity that delightfully accorded with their pleasing situation. Feuchter's Band was present and filled the rooms with much melody. The refreshments were under the charge of an agent from Kepiar's, ably seconded by our less famed, but equally as competent caters, Shachleiter. The table was filled with everything that could be thought of and was desirable for such a festive occasion. - The whole affair passed off amid a sea of smiles and a storm of merry words, making a very pleasant, scratch from which to commence the race of life. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Campbell will remain a couple of weeks at F. D. Norton's and will then depart for the east, and be absent for some time.

I.R. May 17, 1883 - MRS. MARY NORTON CAMPBELL - Last Thursday morning, just past midnight, Mrs. Mary Norton Campbell, died of typhoid fever, after a month's sickness. Below are words befitting so sad an event, taken from the closing portion of Rev. H. Calhoun's funeral sermon. We can add no more. The memory of the noble woman will live in the loving hearts of those who knew her through all the days to come. She was rich in womanly graces, sincere, out-spoken, kind and considerate. Her home was one of the fairest spots, where love, religion and intelligence mingled in noble harmony, but now, alas, darkened with the sorrow of an inestimable loss. The funeral services took place at the Presbyterian Church, though the reamins were not removed from the residence until the funeral cortege, was ready to start to Woodland cemetery. The pulpit of the church was richly decked with flowers, some of which were in beautiful designs. A front seat was occupied by Col. and Mrs. E. M. Norton, parents of the deceased. The sorrowing husband with his little girls, sat in his own pew. Mr. Fred Norton, brother of Mrs. Campbell, was there, having arrived just in time to be present at the last sad duties. The singing by the choir was very impressive, embracing a chant and that beautiful hymn, a favorite of the deceased, "Come, Let us Anew."

Mr. Calhoun took his test from Romans X:xv - "Glad tidings of good things," and Mathew, ix:ii - "Son, be of good cheer." The discourse was of some length, and its purpose to show the bright side of scripture truth, and its sufficiency to allay the sorrows and afflictions of life. It was a strong, interesting discourse, in which no mention was made of the impending grief, until he closed as follows:

Mary Norton Campbell, daughter of Col. E. M. and Mrs. D. C. Norton, was born at Wheeling, Dec. 23, 1852, and removed with her parents to Ironton when about 15 years of age. The years 1869 and 1870 were spent at school in Mt. Auburn, where she united with the Presbyterian Church during her second year. Upon her return home, she was received by letter into this church, in 1871. She was married April 18, 1872, and her death occured on the 10th inst., in the 30th year of her natural, and the 11th year of her married life.

But death ____ so untimely in this month of flowers, when the world is otherwise so bright and fair, especially when it breaks up so happy a home. but it was in the _____ of flowers in Palestine, that Jesus died. Here in this event in the un___chableness of God - the confounding of our reason. Nothing is more inexplicable than this oft separation of mother and child, husband and wife. When the little babe, or the old and irfirm are taken, the shock is not so great. We seem to be able to reason a little way. Here we cannot, and we are not expected to, but just to ____, and say over and over, God is merciful, God is Great, God is Good, and rest in his wisdom, power and love.

It is something to say this cannot be helped, and so ___ically submit ourselves to the inevitable; that is better than, to quarrel with our Maker, but there is a higher grade if we can reach it; which approved as well as summits and would not in the least change that which love and goodness appoint.

Beautifully decorated with palms and ferns the Presbyterian church was the scene of another pleasing wedding ceremony last Wednesday evening. The occasion was the marriage of Mr. Frank F. Dinsmore of Cincinnati and Miss Mary Evylin Campbell, daughter of Joseph H. Campbell formerly of Ironton.

A large company of the relatives and friends of the contracting parties gathered to witness the ceremony that was to make these young people, one in love, one in interest, one in purpose until death shall them part. Miss Ricker was at the organ and played some delightful selections while the company waited the coming of the bride. The Lohengrin wedding march was rendered as the procession entered the church through the doors leading from the ladies parlor coming in the following order: Mr. Charles A. Benedict, of Cincinnati, Mr. L. A. Ireton with Mr. Frank Hassaurek, of Cincinnati, Mr. Joseph L. Adler of Cincinnati with Mr. Carl Moulton. Then followed the bridesmaids Miss Patti Means, of Yellow Springs; Miss Vernon Campbell with Miss Bessie Moulton, both cousins of the bride; Miss Elizabeth Woods of Cincinnati with Miss Louise Dinsmore sister of the groom.

The maids were becomingly gowned in white Paris muslin over white satin. The bodices were made decollete of alternate puffings of muslin and bands of valenciense insertion over green satin ribbon, running cross-wise and finished off with loops of green satin ribbon. Each bridesmaid carried huge bunches of white sweet peas and maiden hair fern tied with long white satin ribbon. Next came Miss Mildred Campbell, sister of the bride and maid of honor. Miss Mildred looked beautiful in white muslin over green satin, made after the same fashion as the gowns of the bridesmaids. Following closely came the bride upon the arm of her father. The dress worn was the same one worn by her mother when a bride years ago. It is of heavy white gros-gain en train with the corsage draped in tulle. She wore a veil and orange blossoms and carried a large bouquet of bridal roses tied with white ribbon.

The groom entered by the east door attended by Mr. Robert McConaughy of Cincinnati meeting the bride in the center of the group in front of the alter and the ceremony was pronounced by Rev. E. E. Moran, the Episcopal ring service being followed. At the close of the benediction the groom and his bride left the church by the south entrance followed by the attendants, and taking carriages were driven to the Campbell home where a reception was held. Many friends called to extend congratulations and well wishes.

Mr. and Mrs. Dinsmore left on the midnight train over the C. & O. for Salt Sulphur Springs, Va., where they will remain for several weeks before returning to their home in Cincinnati.

Mr. Dinsmore is a rising young lawyer having for several years held the important position as assistant corporation council and will undoubtedly win destinction in his profession. His bride has long been known in Ironton society circles, as a most charming young lady and may good fortune attend them is the hearty wish of all.

Many congratulatory telegrams were received from friends unable to be present. Among those present from out of town other than the attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Finney of Cincinnati; Mr. Scott Bonham of Cincinnati; J. W. O'Hare, of Cincinnati; Charles N. Anderson, of Portsmouth; Miss Edith Jones, of Portsmouth, and others. Mr. Dinsmore is a native of Portsmouth and a graduate of the High School of that city, the class with which he graduated being composed of eight girls, he being the only young man. Last evening there came a congratulatory telegram to Mr. and Mrs. Dinsmore signed by these eight class companions. Of course this was highly appreciated and will be filed away with the prized trophies of this latest and most important occasion.

HANGING ROCK IRON REGION - HARRY H. CAMPBELL. A man of marked prominence in business, political, church and social circles, Harry H. Campbell has been an important factor in the substantial growth and development of Ironton, and as president of the Ironton Wood Mantel Company, is the directing head of an enterprise that contributes substantially to the prestige of this city as an important business center. Mr. Campbell has been a resident of this city all of his life, having been born here May 17, 1853, and is a son of Hiram and Elizabeth (Woodrow) Campbell.

Hiram Campbell was born at Blue Lick Springs, back of Maysville, Kentucky, in 1812, and as a young man migrated to Ohio, where for a long period of yars he was identified with iron furnaces and was known as a substantial and resourceful business man. In his later years he retired with a competency, and lived quietly until his death, which occured in 1896. Mrs. Campbell was born at Hillsboro, Ohio, in 1816, and is also deceased, she being the mother of four children, namely: Marie, who became the wife of J. H. Moulton and now resides in Ironton; John W., whose home is in Virginia; Joseph H., of Cincinnati, Ohio; and Harry H.

Harry H. Campbell received his education in the public schools of Ironton and at the Miami University, and as a young man joined his father in business. Subsequently he embarked in ventures of his own, and eventually became the founder of the Ironton Wood Mantel Company, which he has since continued to conduct with much success. He is a stockholder in the Ohio Iron and Coal Company, and has various other interests of an important character, and has evidenced his confidence in the future of Ironton by investing in property here, owning his own home and two other homes and lots. He has done much to advance Ironton's interests in a business way, and has been one of the most active members of the Chamber of Commerce, with which he has been connected since its inception. A republican in politics, he has stood high in the councils of his party, and for eight years has served conscientiously and capably as a member of the city council, winning re-election by reason of his support of his fellow-citizens' interests and privileges. Always an active, virile man, Mr. Campbell has found much pleasure in out-door sports. Educational and religious movements have in him a staunch supporter, and he holds membership in the Presbyterian church, where he is serving in the dual capacity of elder and treasurer.

On May 27, 1878, at the home of the bride, Mr. Campbell was united in marriage with Miss Lizzie Bixby, daughter of E. Bixby, a resident of Ironton. Six children have been born to this union, namely: Marian, who became the wife of R. E. Mitchell, a professional singer of Ironton, and has four children: Gordon, Edwin, Elizabeth and an infant; Lawrence, who was married June 27, 1907 to Alice Clarke, daughter of C. C. Clarke, a prominent business man of Ironton, and has one child, Rolston C.; Henry and Frank, who are single and reside with their parents; and two children who are deceased.

S.W.I. Fri., March 29, 1907 - FINE - PICTURE OF CAMPBELL HOME ENVELOPED IN FLAMES - Mr. H. H. Campbell has a picture of his new home as it was burning during last Friday's big fire. The picture was taken by Aaron Sample just as the flames had covered the entire roof. The picture is a splendid one and is highly prized by Mr. Campbell.

Morning Irontonian - Jan. 17, 1924 - H.H. CAMPBELL PASSED AWAY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING - H. H. Campbell, scion of one of the oldest and best families in Lawrence County, died at his home at Fifth and Jefferson streets, Wednesday morning at 4 o'clock after but a week's illness. Mr. Campbell was stricken while visiting his daughter, Mrs. Mitchell of Columbus, last week and was hurriedly returned home. His condition gradually grew worse and finally the end came with relatives and friends in no way prepared for the shock its announcement occasioned.

Mr. Campbell's death removed from the county one of its most valued residents; a Christian gentle man who seemingly never grew old and could be seen almost any Sunday leading a number of younger folks for a jaunt into the hills. He was a lover of the great out-doors and of the younger generation, never too busy to give urchins a lift and never too dignified to enjoy their companionship. In his death they miss a chum and their grief is equally as deep as that of other Ironton residents. But the bereaved family suffers most, for a beloved and faithful husband and a kind, indulgent father has been called from their midst. Mr. Campbell was born and raised in Ironton a son of Hiram Campbell, one of the founders of the city. He was in his 72nd year, being born on May 17, 1853. He attended the Ironton public schools and later was a student at Miami University. Returning to Ironton he was married on May 27, 1878 to Miss Elizabeth F. Bixby and to this union the following children were born: Mrs. R. E. Mitchell of Columbus, L. B. Campbell of Ironton, Henry Campbell of Toledo and Frank Campbell who is attending Wooster college. Two children aged 2 and 12 years respectively, preceeded their father to the grave.

During his business career in Ironton Mr. Campbell owned the Ironton Book Store, was president of the Ironton Wood Mantel Company and was connected with the latter company up until stricken ill. He served on the city council and city board of education, his terms with both bodies marked by painstaking efforts to do his best for the advantage of the city. He was also a trustee of Briggs Library and an elder in the Presbyterian church.

Funeral services will be held at the home on south Fifth street Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock with Rev. Mr. Weld, pastor of the Presbyterian church in charge. Burial will be in Woodland cemetery under direction of Bingaman and Jones.

They were attended at the marriage alter, by Misses Grace Cram and Lizzie Nigh, and Messrs. J. W. Sister and Ed. W. Bixby. The presents to the happy couple were useful as well as elegant, and were quite numerous, a very prominent item being a fully equipped cook-stove, of the latest pattern, presented by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Kerr. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Campbell start East, on their wedding tour, this (Wednesday) evening.

Richmond from the home on Second street at 4 o'clock on account of the early departure of her uncles, Walter, Hal and Howard Bixby for their homes.

Notes for Maria Elizabeth Campbell:
I.R. March, 1921 - DEATH CALLED MRS. MOULTON - Beloved Lady Died Sunday At Her Home - Mrs. Mariah Moulton, 75 years of age, widow of Col. John H. Moulton, passed away some time Saturday night or Sunday morning, at her home on north Fifth street. When Mrs. Moulton retired for the night Saturday evening she seemed to be enjoying her usual good health but Sunday morning when her son, Carl Moulton, who resides in the house with his mother, attempted to arouse her she failed to respond and upon opening the door of the room he discovered the body of his mother lifeless on the floor and it presumed she became suddently ill and started for aid when death occurred. The announcement of the sudden death of Mrs. Moulton occasioned much sorrow throughout the city as she was one of the city's most widely beloved ladies being ready at all times to alleviate suffering and sorrow wherever found. She was a life long member of the Presbyterian church and was at all times an interested Christian worker.

Mrs. Moulton was born July 30, 1845 at Mt. Vernon Furnace, this county but came to Ironton in her childhood where she has since resided. Her parents were Hiram and Sarah E. Campbell, pioneer residents of Lawrence county. Mrs. Moulton had three brothers and one sister, John W. Campbell of West Virginia, H. H. Campbell of this city and Jos. Campbell, deceased. The sister, Mrs. B. M. Caldwell, also preceded Mrs. Moulton in death. The following children survives: Wallace O. Moulton, J. Harry Moulton, Carl W. Moulton, Mrs. M. Richmond of Manila, P. I. and Donald A. Moulton. Col. Moulton died eleven years ago this March.

The funeral services will be held at two o'clock this afternoon at the home with Rev. Townsend of the Presbyterian church, in charge. Interment will be in Woodland cemetery.

I.R. Mon., March 14, 1921 - MRS. MARIAH MOULTON DIED SUNDAY MORNING - The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mariah Moulton, widow of the late Colonel John H. Moulton was quite shocking to a number of her more intimate friends and unwelcome indeed, to those residents of the city, outside of intimates. She had been in normal health up to and including the hour of her retirement Saturday evening and there was no previous intimation of any kind of impending visit of the Death Angel and for this reason the word of her death came like a bolt from a clear sky. When her son, Carl Moulton, who resides in the same house with her, sought to arouse her Sunday morning, he received no response and opening the door, found the lifeless body of his mother on the floor, with indications that she had been dead several hours. The fact that she had left her bed, would indicate that she was aware of her condition and was seeking help at the time of her demise. The news spread rapidly throughout the city Sunday morning and everywhere this splendid woman was known, it caused genuine sorrow and many expressions of sympathy for those bereft of her loving association.

Mrs. Moulton was born July 30, 1845, at Mt. Vernon Furnace, Lawrence county, Ohio, her parents being Hiram and Sarah E. Campbell, among the oldest and most esteemed of the pioneer stock of this locality. Her childhood was spent in the region in which she was born but later she came to Ironton and had lived her entire life in the home on the location in which she died. She had three brothers, John W. Campbell, now residing in West Virginia; H. H. Campbell of this city, and Joseph H. Campbell, who died some time ago in Cincinnati. One sister, Mrs. B. M. Caldwell, is dead.

On August 12, 1869, Miss Campbell was united in marriage to Colonel John H. Moulton, by the REv. J. H. Young, who at that time was the pastor of the Presbyterian church in this city. To this union was born eight children, of whom two died in infancy, and Fred S. Moulton in 1908. The children surviving are: Wallace C. Moulton, J. Harry Moulton, Carl W. Moulton, Mrs. Bessie M. Richmond, and Donald A. Moulton.

A very and incident in connection with the death of Mrs. Moulton was the frustration of an anticipated visit from her daughter, Mrs. Richmond, who was scheduled to sail from Manila, P.I. confidently expecting to pay an extended visit with her mother. A cablegram was sent yesterday to inform the daughter of her mother's death.

Mrs. Moulton was a life long member of the Presbyterian church and her life was a daily exemplication of Christian service. She lived well and truly, gave largely of her time and wealth to charitable purposes and was ever interested in the better things of this life. As the wife of Colonel Moulton, and the mother of this splendid family of children, her life, her life was simply ideal. She was domestically inclined and was never happier than when surrounded by the members of her own household, for whom she loved to plan and work. Her entire married life was spent in the beautiful hom in which she died.

Mr. Moulton died eleven years ago last March third., terminating a married relationship that was mutually ideal. Mrs. Moulton was a highly cultured lady, having been a student at a college in Cincinnati. She was a lovable companion and a true friend and many persons who had been the beneficiaries of her kindness, will be grieved to learn of her passing.

The funeral will be held at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon at her home, with Rev. Mr. Townsend of the Presbyterian church in charge. Burial will be in Woodland cemetery.

S.W.R. Wed., March 23, 1921 - MOULTON WILL IS FILED FOR PROBATE - J. Harry Moulton is named as executor in the will of the late Mariah E. Moulton, filed for probate Monday. All the household goods and eighteen shares of First National Bank stock are left to Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond, and the residue of the estate is divided between Mrs. Richmond, W. C. Moulton, J. Harry Moulton, Carl W. Moulton and Don A. Moulton.

Notes for John Harry/Henry Moulton:

Moulton proposes leaving Sheridan Coal Works and taking up his residence in Cincinnati - He does not intend, however, to disolve his connection with the Works, but will act as the Cincinnati agent of the company.

EARLY IRONMASTERS WERE FOUR CORNERSTONES ON WHICH CITY OF IRONTON WAS CONSTRUCTED. I.R. Oct. 9, 1949 . . . The third member of the ironmasters was Col. J. H. Moulton, who was born in Brunswick, Ohio January 23, 1843. He moved to Sheridan to operate coal works in 1867 and married Miss Maria Elizabeth Campbell August 12, 1869. She was the eldest daughter of Hiram Campbell of Ironton.

Col. Moulton died March 3, 1910 after leaving many notable advancements in the erection of the iron industries. He helped erect Sarah Furnace and to operate Mount Vernon Furnace. He was principal owner of the Vernon Iron Company which was later turned over to the care of his sons, J. Harry and Carl Moulton, both deceased. In addition to his two sons, other children were Wallace, Mrs. L. O. Richmond and Donald. (the other three ironmasters were: John Campbell, Hiram Campbell and William Naylor McGugin - see their sketches - smk)

S.W.I. March 4, 1910 - WITHOUT WARNING COL. MOULTON DIED THURSDAY MORNING - Consternation best expresses the feelings of the citizens of Ironton when the word was passed Thursday morning that Col. J. H. Moulton had passed away. This announcement was so unexpected and so unwelcome that those who heard it could scarcely give it credence. Yet twas true, this spendid citizen, respected, honored and esteemed, has passed from earth and his cordial, friendly salutation will be heard no more.

Col. Moulton's health has not been very good for some time, yet his condition was not considered serious. He was down town Wednesday and his friends and acquaintances noticed nothing unusual in his condition. His greetings were as cordial and his manner as friendly as ever. He made no complaints Wednesday evening and retired early. Upon arising Thursday morning he felt very well and and concluded to accompany Mrs. Moulton to the country to spend the day with mr. and Mrs. J. Harry Moulton. Shortly after six o'clock, however, he was seized with a sudden pain in the region of his heart and his condition grew alarming rapidly. His sons were awakened and Dr. Moxley summoned. Under treatment by the physician he seemed to improve, but the term of relief was brief. Another attack was more severe and at 10 o'clock he lapsed into unconsciousness. He remained in this condition until his death ensued at about 10:15 o'clock. Drs. Moxley and Moore labored incessantly to afford the stricken man relief, but to no avail. His eyes closed in everlasting sleep and there passed from earth the soul of a man beloved by his fellows, honored, revered and esteemed for his noble qualities.

Col. Moulton was born at Brunswick, O., January 22, 1843 and consequently was little past 67 years of age. He came to Lawrence county in 1867 and settled at Sheridan where he operated the Sheridan coal works. On August 12, 1869 he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Campbell of Ironton. To this union were born the following children: Wallace Campbell, of Gary, Ill; J. Harry of Moulton, Mrs. L. O. Richmond of Shelbyville, Ind.; Carl and Donald of this city. Also Frederick Stuart Moulton, who died in October 1908, and two other children that died in infancy.

After a stay of a few years at Sheridan, Col. Moulton moved to Cincinnati and operated with the firm of Barrett and Moulton. In 1875 he came to Ironton and since that time to the hour of his death he had been a continous resident of this city. He was one of the builders of Sarah furnace and operated it for a number of years. He was also the operator of Vernon furnace at Moulton, now under control of his son J. Harry Moulton.

Col. Moulton, in addition to his family is survived by one brother, D. A. Moulton, vice president of the Corn Exchange Bank of Chicago and one sister, Mrs. Wyman of Los Angeles, Cal.

Col. J. H. Moulton was connected with some of the most prominent families in Ohio. His brother, Chas. now dead, married a sister of the late Senator John Sherman. He also had a sister who married Hoyt Sherman, a brother of the Senator. Hon. Harry R. Probasco, and Mrs. Frank Wiborg, both of whom will be here to attend the last sad rites.

The funeral services over the remains, while not definitely arranged, will probably be held Saturday afternoon. The interment will be in Woodland cemetery. The members of the family, who are absent from the city are hastening home to attend the funeral.

I.R. March 10, 1910 - COL. J. H. MOULTON DEAD - The REGISTER's announcement Thursday of the sudden death of Col. J. H. Moulton brought sadness to the hearts of all our citizens for he was one of Irontons most-highly respected and influential citizens.

Col. Moulton while he had not been in the best of health for sometime, was able to get about the streets as usual and only Wednesday was down town, greeting his friends in his usual happy and cheerful manner. Wednesday evening, he sat up and read evening papers and talked with the family and seemed to be feeling even better than usual. He retired early and enjoyed a good night's rest, and as Mrs. Moulton had had planned to spend the day with her son, Harry and his wife at Moulton, he was up a little earlier than usual in the morning. After arising and feeling so well he decided he would accompany Mrs. Moulton to the country. Shortly after 6 o'clock while getting ready for the trip he was taken ill with a violent pain near his heart and Mrs. Moulton aroused the household and Dr. Moxley was called. The doctor gave him treatment that seemed to relieve him for a short time but soon the _arosysm of pain returned. This attack seemed to be worse than the first and at about ten o'clock he told his sons, Carl and Don that the pain was so great he could not stand it, that it was just like a dagger piercing his heart. Shortly after this he lapsed into unconsciousness and died at about 10:15 A.M., in spite of the efforts of Drs. Moxley and Moore, who were working with him. His death was evidently due to a diseased heart.

John Henry Moulton was born January 23, 1843 at Brunswick, O., and was hence a little over 67 years of age. He came to Sheridan about 1867 to operate the Coal Works there and on August 12, 1869 he was united in marriage to Miss Maria Elizabeth Campbell, eldest daughter of Mr. Hiram Campbell of this city. To this union were born the following children: Wallace Campbell, of Gary, Ill.; J. Harry of Moulton, Mrs. L. O. Richmond, of Shelbyville, Ind.; Carl and Donald of this city. Also Frederick Stuart Moulton who died in October, 1908, and two other children that died in infancy.

After operating the Sheridan Coal Works for a few years, Col. and Mrs. Moulton moved to Cincinnati, where he was connected with the firm of Barrett & Moulton. They came to Ironton in 1875 when Col. Moulton became connected with H. Campbell & Sons in the iron business and has ever since that time made Ironton his home. In 1877 in company with H. Campbell & Sons they erected Sarah Furnace and operated it for a long time. He also operated Mt. Vernon Furnace out at Moulton and in time became the principal owner of the Vernon Iron Company. The lands of this company are now being looked after by his son, J. Harry Moulton.

Col. Moulton has one brother, D. A. Moulton, Vice President of the Corn Exchange bank at Chicago and one sister, Mrs. Wyman who resides at Los Angeles, Cal.

Col. J. H. Moulton was connected with some of the most prominent families in Ohio. His brother, Chas. now dead, married a sister of the late Senator John Sherman. He also had a sister that married Hoyt Sherman, a brother of the Senator. Near relatives in Cincinnati are Hon. Harry R. Probasco, and Mrs. Frank Wiborg, both of whom were here to attend the last sad rites and funeral services.

I. R. March 17, 1910 - WILL WAS FILED - The last will and testament of John H. Moulton has been filed for probate and it is an interesting document in many ways. The will was drawn on February 5, 1889 and was witnessed by J. D. White, who was then the local agent of The Western Union Telegraph company, Thos. Salt, who was an operator in the Western Union office and Frank E. Holliday, who is now in new York. The will bears no codicils and was filed just as it was written twenty years ago. Mr. Moulton leaves everything, all his real estate and personal property to his wife and she is named as executrix. He requires that she give no bond and that no appraisement be made of his estate. The will says the property to remain with Mrs. Moulton until she dies or remarries when it is to go to his children, share and share alike. He asks that his children, who were all young at the time the will was written, be educated as far as the mother decides is possible with the income of the estate. He commits his children to the care of God and asks that they be correctly guided.

BIOGRAPHICAL CYCLOPEDIA AND PORTRAIT GALLERY - MOULTON, JOHN H., business man, Ironton, Ohio, was born in Medina county, Ohio, January 23d, 1843. He is descended, through many generations, from John Moulton, who emigrated from England to America in the year 1748, and settled in Vermont; and from whom have sprung a large progeny of that name in this country. The given name of this English progenitor has been perpetuated in that of our subject. The father of our subject, D. A. Moulton, came from Vermont to Ohio, some time in the decade that followed 1830. He was a bridge and house contractor and builder, and erected many of the early structures in the State. A staunch whig, he took an active part in the political campaigns of his party. He was one of the best informed men of his day, and possessed a memory of dates and events that was truly remarkable. He had six children, all honorably settled in life, and some of whom are connected by marriage with families of national note. The oldest son is Colonel Charles W. Moulton, of Cincinnati, whose wife is a daughter of the late Judge Sherman of Ohio, father of General and of Secretary Sherman. The third son, D. A. Moulton, married Alice E., daughter of George Willard, Esq., of Ironton, Ohio. The oldest daughter, Harriet M., is wife of General Martin Tuttle of Des Moines, Iowa. The second daughter, Sarah E., is wife of Hoyt Sherman, of the same city, youngest brother of General and Secretary Sherman. The third daughter, Bina M., is relict of Colonel S. H. Lunt, who died at at Mobile during our late war. Mrs. Lunt is a lady of fine literary culture, and is a frequent contributor to various leading journals of the country, and in 1879 she made the tour through Europe. John H., our subject, the second son, received his education at the Mansfield, Ohio, high school, making his home in the meantime with his oldest brother, who was at that time merchandising in that city. He then engaged in the dry-goods trade with Messrs. Sturges, Wood & Co., of Mansfield, where he remained until the breaking out of our late civil war, when he joined the army in Virginia and became connected with the quartermaster's department, having charge of the overland transportation.

I.R. Dec. 24, 1891 - Harry Moulton has taken John Lane's place in the First National Bank. Mr. Lane having accepted a nice position in a Huntington bank. John is an efficient and worthy young man. Harry Moulton is one of the finest boys in town, and we are glad he has the situation left vacant by Mr. Lane.

I.R. Jan. 14, 1892 - Thanks to Mr. J. H. Moulton for a copy of Buenos Ayres Standard, published in the South American republic. It is part English and part Spanish. The English reveals to us the fact that flat money is simply crushing out all commercial and national life down there. The more money fanatics are getting their dues. Distress pervades the entire country, and the nation will have to repudiate. They need a John Sherman down there badly.
