George Robert Campbell in his youth. This photo did not scan very well it was one that was on some sort of tin so it is a cool photo just looks like his face is messed up. He did have wavy hair in all of the photos but that is long.

George Robert Campbell age 25.  I really like this one.

George Robert Campbell younger years

George Robert Campbell was married to Loula M. Huffaker October 24, 1895 in White County, Illinois. They did not stay together.  I do not know much about Loula .  He then married Florence E. Wesbecker December 10, 1923 in San Francisco, California.

They were blessed with a Boy Wiley M. Campbell Feb 6, 1925 he was born in Pocatello, Idaho

Then about a year later they were blessed with a baby girl Florence E. Campbell February 24, 1926 born in Pocatello, Idaho.

I found this in some things that Grandma Florence E. Campbell Matthews had.  I think he used it for his job on the Union Pacific Rail ways.

George Robert Campbell, Wiley Campbell, and Florence E. Wesbecker Campbell what a nice family.

Following George’s passing Florence W. Campbell moved to Salt Lake City where she lived until she could not live alone anymore. At that point she came to live in Cedar City, Utah. Where she lived with Florence C. Matthews and Darrell H. Matthews at 305 S. 1100 W. Cedar City, Utah.  She lived in the basement of their home.  It was really fun to have her at Grandma Matthews home when we would go visit all of them.
