Maggie's husband did not serve in the Civil War, possibly due to poor health, but was arrested as a Confederate sympathizer, and her 60-year-old father served in the 1st Missouri (Confederate) Cavalry for a year, and her younger brother Jack served as an officer for most of the war, losing his left arm at Vicksburg. Two other brothers, Hugh and Billy, served as guerrilla partisans under George Todd.
Maggie's mother, Jane Archer, died in 1869 in Cass County, and her father moved to Texas within less than a year, joining two of her brothers. She and her husband returned to Kansas a few years later, this time to Wyandotte County. Nathaniel Campbell died in Kansas City, KS in 1883.
Maggie survived her husband 34 years, dying in Kansas City, Kansas in early 1918, following a fall that broke her hip. She survived all her siblings.
My thanks to Mark Archer for the wonderful photograph of Margaret (Archer) Campbell, from his collection.
