Robert Fulton Campbell, b. 1836 TN d. El Paso 1905. Married to Phoebe Irene Wallace in 1861 at Bastrop Co, TX before moving to El Paso in 1881. Children: Lum (Columbus), Della, Bobbie (female), Stafford, Edgar, Minnie, and Grace who died in 1886 in El Paso. Robert F. Campbell was El Paso Co. Commissioner, Mayor (1895-1897), and Postmaster.
Mother: Nancy, born 1810, Viginia.
Eulogy
Robert Fulton Campbell was born at Summerville, Tennessee on the 16th day of May 1836, and was 69 years of age on the 16th day of the present month (May 1905). When he was 12 years of age his parents removed to Bastrop County, Texas, where he was reared and educated. On reaching man's estate he was honored by his fellow citizens with the several offices of County Clerk, District Clerk and County Treasurer all of which, he filled to the satisfaction of his constituents and with credit to himself.
In 1861 he was married to Miss Phoebe Irene Wallace, one of the Texas pioneers and son of a revolutionary sire. To this union five children were born namely:
L.M. Campbell of Denver, Colorado, Mrs. Parry L. Wright of Chicago; Mrs. Alfred Aloe now in Philippine Islands, Stafford Campbell and Logan Campbell both of this city. The widow and these five children survive him. In 1883 he removed from Bastrop to El Paso with his family and has been an honored and prominent citizen of this city from that time until his death. On April 30th last, he was stricken with Cerebral Apoplexy, which resulted in his death at 3 o'clock a.m. on Wednesday May 24th 1905.
During his residence in this city he has enjoyed the same marked respect of his fellow townsmen that distinguished his career in his former home in the eastern part of the state. Here he first engaged in the Real Estate business and afterwards in the Drug business, and was at the time of his death conducting with his son the Red Cross Pharmacy. He served a term as County Commissioner of El Paso County, was Mayor of this city from 1896 to 1898, and City Post Master for four years under the administration of President McKinley.
In his death, El Paso loses one of her most honored citizens. No man in the city has been more truly one of the people. Men of all shades of opinion respected him for this independence and rugged honesty. His memory will be cherished by the Pioneers who are now assembled to lay his body in its sepulcher and his stricken family will have our profoundest brotherly sympathy as long as they or we endure.
[Ed. note: This is probably the eulogy which was read at Pioneer Campbell's funeral, then entered into the Pioneer's Biographical sketchbook.]
