ALBERT ROY CAMPBELL

Among the progressive and enterprising young farmers of Bloomfield township is numbered Albert Roy Campbell, who was born on the farm which he is now operating in Bloomfield township on the 16th of April, 1883, a son of Hamilton and Abbie Eliza (Angier) Campbell, of whom extended mention is made on another page in this work. He is one of a family of three children; the others being: John Walter, of Postville, Iowa; and Lula Jane, who lives at home.

Albert Roy Campbell was reared under the parental roof and in his childhood aided his father with the work of the farm, becoming at an early age thoroughly familiar with the best agricultural methods and with all the details connected with farm operation. He has now assumed management of the homestead, which comprises one hundred and sixty acres, and upon it he carries on general farming and stock-raising, meeting with that success which always follows earnest, well directed and persistent labor.

On the 12th of April, 1905, Mr. Campbell was united in marriage to Miss Janet Elizabeth Caldow, a daughter of Adam Caldow. Mr. Campbell is a republican in his political views and fraternally is connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is one of the progressive and enterprising farmers of his section of the county, and although he is still a young man, has already attained a gratifying degree of success, his record being a credit to a name that has long been an honored one in his community.
