I am interested in a Campbell family that moved to KS around 1868. I have now found evidence that they came to KS from Kane Co., IL. Elizabeth Campbell moved with her sons, John B., William Samuel, Silas, Isaac N. to Labette Co., KS and they were there on the 1870 census. They are in Howard (Elk Co., later that year) KS in the 1875 KS state census. I had hunted for a long time for this Campbell family but there are many Campbell families in the IL census index. I found this item in an old book at our library leading me to Kane Co., IL. This is Isaac Newton Campbell, brother of William Samuel, Silas and John B. Campbell. Grenola, KS History I. N. Campbell, farmer, P. O. Grenola, was born in Kane Co., Ill. in 1850 and was raised there. In 1868 emigrated to Kansas and located in Labette, Co. At the end of two and and one-half years, located in Howard County (my note: Howard Co., KS was made into Elk Co. and Chautaqua Co., KS in 1875, no more Howard Co., KS), and located a claim on Section 36, Town 31, Range 9, then about seventy miles from a railroad. He at once proceeded to make a farm, and has added to the original claim, and now has 720 acres of land, 340 of which is under cultivation. Has the whole place under fence, seven miles of hedge, fifteen acres of orchard, barn 32 x 36, three good houses and plenty of running water, besides several fine springs, timber and everything to be desired on a farm; is very extensively engaged in stock-raising, has 142 head of stock; also buys and ships condiderable stock, and handles a great many hogs. Is one of the best stock men in the county, and has been very successful. Was married in 1876, in Elk County, Kan to Miss E. A. Walworth. Mr. Campbell is a genial gentleman, and very popular in the county. END OF ARTICLE I have ordered the 1860 Kane Co., IL census to see if I can find Elizabeth and her family. I believe that there will be girls also that were probably married before the 1870 census. Marguerette Powell Coffeyville, KS
