History of Lawrence, ORANGE, and Washington Counties, Indiana
Goodspeed Bros. & Co., Publishers - Chicago, 1884

           [581-582]

           GEORGE W. CAMPBELL, a native of the county of which he is
        now Treasurer, was born at Lick Creek, August 12, 1843, a son
        of MAXWELL and SARAH (FIELD) CAMPBELL, who were natives respect-
        ively of North Carolina and Kentucky, and who were among the
        pioneers of Orange County, Indiana.  At twenty years of age
        GEORGE W. CAMPBELL began doing for himself, and shortly there-
        after engaged in merchandising at Orangeville, where he contin-
        ued until 1870, when he purchased a farm on Lost River and for
        three years was engaged in agricultural pursuits.  He  then
        opened a store at Lick Creek, and in 1881 established another
        at Newton Stewart.  In 1883 he purchased an interest in the
        West Baden Springs, and besides this and his extensive mercan-
        tile interests, MR. CAMPBELL owns 550 acres of land which are
        under his direct supervision.  In politics he has always labored
        in the best interests of the Republican party, and in 1882 was
        elected County Treasurer, and to his credit be it said that the
        finances of Orange County have never been entrusted to more com-
        petent or trustworthy hands.  MR. CAMPBELL was married in 1866
        to Miss ANNIE RHODES, and to them two children have been born,
        named FANNIE R. and NOBLE C.  The home of the family is at Lick
        Creek in French Lick Township
