Marcus Alphonso Campbell was the youngest son (there was a younger child, a daughter) of Rev. Zuriel and Amy Maxson Campbell. He was born December 15, 1849, at Milton, Wis., and died at his home, the home of his youngest son Victor, at Excelsior, Minn., November 26, 1929, being almost eighty years of age.
Other members of his parents' family were: Calista Jane, whose married name was Crumb and then Wilson; Eunice Adeline, whose married name was Crandall; Erford Andre Campbell; Zuriel Baxter Campbell; Julia Amanda, whose married name was Babcock; Abbie Elizabeth, whose married name was Burdick; Orson Alexander Campbell; Lucy Marcelia, whose married name was Green; and Amy Eveline, whose married name was Crosby.
When Marcus was fifteen years old he moved with his parents to New Auburn, Minn., where he lived fifty-five years, till 1919, when he made a new home in Excelsior, where he died.
April 12, 1873, he was married to Selina Jane Crosby, and shortly afterwards both of them made public profession of religion and were baptized at New Auburn, Minn., by Rev. J. E. N. Backus, and united with the Seventh Day Baptist church at New Auburn, from which their membership was never removed until the call came to join the church triumphant. He died on the fourth anniversary of his wife's death, and the farewell service also was held on the fourth anniversary of her farewell service, November 29, and the burial was made in the family lot by the side of the lake at New Auburn, Minn.
Two children died in infancy, while four sons and four daughters and a niece, who has always been a member of the family, her mother having passed away when the niece was a small child, survive. They are: Gertrude Amy, now Mrs. H. C. Stewart of Spencer, Wis.; Edith Eveline, widow of the late Rev. Jesse E. Hutchins, of Milton, Wis.; Zuriel Campbell of Welton, Iowa; Margaret C. Campbell of Milwaukee, Wis.; Mark Stanley Campbell of Condon, Ore.; Ray Campbell of Excelsior, Minn.; and Florence B., wife of Howard E. Gould, of Buffalo Lake, Minn.; and the niece, Mabel Crosby Wagner, widow of the late Dr. Frank J. Wagner, of Minneapolis, Minn.
All the members of the family except Stanley and Ray were present at the farewell service conducted by a cousin, Rev. Edwin Shaw, at the home in Excelsior, and all accompanied the body in automobiles forty-five miles to its last resting place in the cemetery at New Auburn, where a group of friends of former years had gathered in loving memory of the dead and sympathy for the living.
