Wife of Henry Harrison Campbell.
________________________
He was married in 1871 to Miss Lizzie Bundy, who was born in Navarro County, October 25, 1852. She is the daughter of Williamson and E. Vance Bundy, the latter a daughter of James Hamilton, a descendant of Alexander Hamilton, of Revolutionary times. Mrs. Campbell left the comfortable surroundings of an Eastern home to join her husband in building up one of the most extensive ranching ventures that was ever attempted, and his success was largely due to her assistance and encouragement, and particularly to her influence on the ranch hands, who appreciated her care of them in sickness and were untiring in their efforts to repay the attentions received. When she first moved to the ranch there was but one other woman within seventy miles, but with remarkable nerve she persisted in remaining, sacrificing a natural desire for the comforts and society of civilized life for the privilege of aiding her husband in his work. Night or day she was ready and willing to care for the sick or wounded on the ranch, and Mr. Campbell is unstinting in his praise in reviewing the aid which she furnished in this, the most important undertaking of his life. Their eldest child, H. H., Jr., enjoys the honor of being the first white child born in Motley County. Their only other child, a daughter, Erin, died in 1878.
