Campbell practiced at Pentwater, Mich., and in October, 1897, came to Grand Rapids, and here he has ever since been in the active practice of his profession at the address already mentioned. He is also a graduate of the Scientific & Literary association of Detroit, his studies in that institution having greatly added to his mental training, and enlarged his intellectual grasp upon even the technicalities of his profession. Dr. Campbell was united in marriage at Strathroy, Ontario, October 6, 1896, with Miss Margaret Bradshaw, a native of the town named, and a graduate of its high school. Dr. Campbell has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1889, and has served one year as worshipful master of Prince of Wales lodge, No.171. He is also a member of the Maccabees order, the M. W. of A., the Knights & Ladies of Security, the New Era, and he and wife are members of the O. E. S. The doctor is examining physician for the M. W. of A., the K. & L. of Security and the New Era branch board, No. II. In politics he is a republican and in religion he is a Baptist, to which denomination his wife also belongs. The doctor has secured a very satisfactory share of practice since his year’s residence in Grand Rapids, and the social standing of himself and wife is all that could be desired. |
