The senior member of the firm of Brown & Campbell was Samuel Edward Brown, who began his professional career as an attorney in Davenport in 1855.  In 1860 Mr. Brown was offered a partnership in the law firm of Corbin & Dow, which he accepted.  Mr. Corbin soon afterwards retired from the firm.  A year or two later Mr. Dow retired, leaving Mr. Brown alone.  He then took into partnership with him Alfred Sully, in 1864.  In June, 1870, James Campbell was admitted, the firm becoming Brown, Campbell & Sully.  Mr. Sully retired from the firm in March, 1874, and George E. Gould was taken as a partner into the firm, which continued until 1876, when the firm ceased to exist.  Finally Mr. Brown applied his energies mainly to railroad business, to federal courts, and had an extensive practice over a circuit that embraced Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, looking after foreclosure of mortgages, railroad matters and municipal bonds.
