	S.S. CAMPBELL, County Commissioner of Clarke county, was born in the State
of Iowa, July 28, 1858, a son of William J. and Julia A. (Barcas) Campbell,
natives of Indiana and Ohio respectively. They were the parents of term
children, of whom our subject was the eldest child. He removed with his parents
to Multnomah county, Oregon, in 1864, where he attended the public schools, and
completed a collegiate course at Philomath College, in Benton county, in 1880.
Mr. Campbell was then engaged in teaching for many years. In 1883 he came to
Clarke county, Washington, and in 1888, in company with his father, embarked in
the drug business in La Centre, where they both still reside.
	January 6, 1885, our subject was united in marriage to Miss Sarah E.
Lawrence, a native of Canada. They have three children, Ada M., Alice B. and
Horace W. Mr. Campbell is a stanch and active Democrat, and was the choice of
his party from his district for County Commissioner in 1892. He is still a
member of that honorable board. Socially, he affiliates with the I.O.O.F., also
the Encampment degree of that order, and has passed all of the official chairs
in both branches of the order.
