Portrait and Biographical Album of Dewitt Co. under Preston Jones relates:
"...His elder brother, Campbell whose portrait is presented to our readers, is an honored resident of this township, where he is living in retirement from active farming operations. He is a gentleman of superior intelligence and culture. His early educational advantages were limited but by close appreciation to his books and a genuine fondness for good literature he has become exceptionally well informed and can talk with interest on any subject. Upon people with whom he comes in contact the impression is made that there is no reasonable excuse for man, woman or child, not to have a practical knowledge of things if any effort is made. He is a sincere Methodist in his religious views. In Early manhood he married Louvesta Upton, a lady of much intelligence, who was in every respect a true wife and devoted mother. She died leaving three children; John, Sarah and Ura."
