George Robert Campbell was born in White County, Illinois to John Milton Campbell and Avarilla J. Richter April 7, 1876. He was the First born of three children to this marriage.  He was only 4 years old when his mother passed away. His father did remarry Elizabeth A. Moore October 25 1885. I do not have photo’s of his Mother and Father so here are the Head Stones.

A copy of his birth Certificate for George Robert Campbell  that was printed in 1942 that stated that John Milton Campbell Jr. was his brother and that he had actual knowledge of the facts as stated in this record.

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.

If you click on the obit you can read it I had put it with the other post of Great Grandma but I wanted all the info to be in the same place.

It has been fun getting to know more about family that has past on and I will be getting more as time goes by.
