James N. D. Campbell, justice of the peace, was born in Perry County, Tenn.,
October 13, 1837, and is a son of William
and Nancy (Dornell) Campbell,
natives of the same State. After his marriage the father lived in Tennessee
some years,
but in March, 1840, located in
Franklin County, Ark., and until his death farmed in Franklin County. He was
a good
sportsman, and shot many deer,
turkeys and wild game. His death occurred April 8, 1852. He was one of the
first settlers
of Mountain Township, moving here
from Mulberry Valley in 1845, and himself and one neighbor were the only
voters in the
township at one time during its
early history. Our subject has lived in Franklin County since two years of
age, his early
life being passed upon his father's
farm. In the spring of 1861 he enlisted in the State troops, and after these
were
disbanded joined the regular
Confederate army. He served as orderly-sergeant of the Fifteenth Arkansas
Infantry until the
surrender of Vicksburg, July 4,
1863, after which he returned home. He participated in the two engagements
at Corinth, the
siege of Vicksburg, and several
skirmishes. Since the war he has been engaged in farming with success. In
1874 he was
elected justice of the peace, which
office he filled six consecutive terms, and in 1882 was appointed postmaster
of Floury
Post-office, serving in that
capacity two years. He has often been a delegate to the County Democratic
Convention, and
wields considerable political power
in the county. December 26, 1861, he was married in Johnson County to Martha
Taylor,
who was born in Madison County,
Ark., and is a daughter of one of the early settlers of the State, who came
from Illinois.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell have lost
four children in infancy, but have eight now living: Pleasant L., married;
Alonzo, married;
Mary, wife of A. Short; Nancy A.,
wife of William Hughes; William W., Augustus D., Amanda L. and Catherine.
Mr. Campbell's
farm contains eighty acres,
sixty-five of which are cleared, and it is situated fifteen miles north of
Ozark. (SOURCE:
