Edward G. Campbell, an esteemed resident of Houston Village, to which place he came in June, 1909, after retiring from agricultural pursuits, was born near Portage, Wisconsin, August 22, 1850, son of John and Elizabeth (Hemstock) Campbell. He was but two years old when his parents settled in Houston County, Minesota, the father engaging in the milling business in Money Creek Township.
There he was reared to manhood and attended school. At the age of ten years he began working on his parents' farm, his father having given up the mill, and he subsequently continued on the home farm engaged in agriculture until his retirement in 1909.
He is now enjoying the fruits of his former industry, his sister, Lucy, residing with him. In 1908 he sold his real estate holdings. He has been a stockholder in the Security State Bank since its organization, and is a charter member of the Masonic lodge at Money Creek. In politics he is an independent Democrat.
