Wallace H. CAMPBELL, of Rochester [Windsor County, Vermont], was born 18 July 
1854 in Brockton [Plymouth County], Massachusetts, son of George M. and 
Philette (PEARSONS) CAMPBELL. George M. CAMPBELL was a native of Vermont, to 
which state he returned before his son was one year old. Wallace H. was 
educated at the common schools of Rochester and at Springfield Academy. 
Bereft of paternal guidance by the death of his father, he carried on the old 
homestead at the age of eighteen. [Therefore, by calculation, George M. 
CAMPBELL died before 18 July 1872.] He then emigrated to California and 
remained there three years as foreman in an establishment for reducing gold 
ore. In 1879 he returned to Rochester, where he engaged in the hardware 
business for ten years with great success.

On 10 September 1882 Mr. [Wallace H.] CAMPBELL married Eva, daughter of 
Orlando and Helen (STERLING) KENEDY [spelled with one "N" in the text] of 
Granville [Addison County, Vermont]. The fruits of this marriage are: (1) 
Leon; (2) Adolph, who died in infancy; (3) Helen Catherine; and (4) 
Jessie. Member of the Republican party; has been six years a member of the 
town committee and justice of the peace; was town representative in 
1892-1893, a school director, and sugar inspector of Rochester. Member of 
the Masonic order, belonging to Rural Lodge of Rochester, to Whitney Chapter 
Royal Arch Masons, and the Montpelier Commandery of Knights Templar.
