Campbell, of Los Angeles, a lawyer of splendid ability. He was born in 1871 at Red Sulphur Springs, W. Va. His early educational training was obtained in public schools of his native state, after which he attended Marshall College.

For about two years Mr. Campbell practiced at Ashland, Ky., and then moved to Huntington, W. Va., and entered into partnership with C. W. Campbell, Holt & Campbell. In 1901, Mr. Campbell withdrew and moved to Redlands, Calif. He practiced in that city in partnership with Henry B. Ely for about five years, then located at Los Angeles.
In 1908 Mr. Campbell became a member of the firm of Campbell & Moore and since the dissolution of this firm he has practiced individually.
