General Notes: Husband - Gen. Charles Thomas Campbell

---

He was born on the Campbell farm near St. Thomas, Franklin County, Pennsylvania; was educated at the Chambersburg Academy, the military school at Bedford, and lastly at Marshall College, Mercersburg. At the breaking out of the Mexican war he entered the service at Washington, D. C.; was appointed a lieutenant of infantry, United States Army, and assigned to the Eleventh Regiment; was ordered on recruiting service to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and went with the regiment to Mexico, first lieutenant Company B. In August, 1847, he was promoted captain of Company A, same regiment; this regiment was disbanded, after the war, at Fort Hamilton, New York. When news came to Chambersburg of the firing upon Fort Sumter, the first train to Harrisburg took with it Gen. Campbell and several other patriotic citizens to urge upon the governor of Pennsylvania the necessity of immediate organization of volunteer troops for protection. The governor authorized Gen. Campbell to organize and equip a battery of horse artillery, which was successfully done in about ten days. (This battery was the same commanded by Capt. H. Easton on so many bloody fields during the war.) The Legislature authorized the recruiting of a regiment of eight batteries which Gen. Campbell superintended at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, when complete, on the 4th day of August, 1861. The regiment was mustered into the United States service and ordered to join the Army of the Potomac at Washington, D. C. At about this time Gen. Campbell was commissioned colonel of the regiment. The batteries were scattered and only three out of the eight were together in McCall's division. Gen. Campbell served in this division as chief of artillery until March, 1862, when he was appointed colonel of the Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry\emdash a rifle regiment in the Third Corps, First Division, or better known as "Kearney' s Division," which had a character for never going back or getting out of ammunition. Campbell was severely wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks, left on the field for dead, and until brought into camp late at night, it was so reported. November 29, 1862, he was appointed brigadier-general, by special request of Gen. Hooker, Gen. Berry, Gen. Birney, and Gen. Sickels, the corps division officers of Hooker's grand division. He was severely wounded in the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, which unfitted him entirely for field service, having received during this campaign in the Peninsula seven severe wounds. After partially recovering from his wounds he was ordered by Gen. Halleck, commander-in-chief, to the department of the Northwest, where he remained on duty until the final muster out of the general officers in January, 1866. After the Civil War, he made his home at Scotland, in South Dakota. Late in life he became editor of a newspaper.
