spring and then have four left to do his work with. He says he can raise a colt for the same expense or less, than he
can raise a steer, and the former when put on the market, will bring him $125 and the latter barely $40, even after
feeding several months. It does not require many figures to tell which is the most profitable for a farmer to raise. He
is of the opinion also, a light horse is more profitable to raise, for market or service, on a farm than a heavy home.

Leo H. Campbell, the son of Henry and Vie Howard Campbell, was born on the farm on the Janesville road, where
practically his entire life was spent, December 1, 1869. He attended the Evansville Seminary and was graduated with
the class of 1891 on November 27, 1895, he was married to Miss Minnie Peterson bringing his wife to the old
homestead which his father had purchased many years before from Levi Leonard.
Here was born his four children, Lucille, a graduate of Northwestern University and a present a teacher of
mathematics in the Janesville high school; Donald a student in school of engineering at the Unviersity of Wisconsin,
little twelve year Ruth who has shown marked ability as an agriculturist and who has been an active and successful
member of the stock raising clubs for boys and girls; and Paul. Besides the immediate family he is survied by two
sisters, Mrs. Eva C. Leonard of Petersburg, Tenn., and Miss Pearl H. Campbell of Milwaukee.
His death, which was a shock to the entire community, came quite suddenly and painlessly early on the morning of
November 17th while he was attending to some duties on the farm. It was as though God's finger touched him and he
slept.
To few is it given to enjoy in so large a measure, the respect, the affection of an entire community. He had no
enemies. Men in all walks of life loved and respected him. No one ever came to him for help and went away empty
handed.
He learned early in life that to be truly happy is to serve and so he gave unstintedly of himself to his family and to the
wider circle stretching beyond the farmhouse doors, even though he knew that he was going beyond his strength.
Now in the harvest time of the year, in the golden glory of his manhood, he has gone home, leaving to the world the
example of a blameless life and to those who were closest to him the priceless heritage of a charger without
reproach.

can raise a steer, and the former when put on the market, will bring him $125 and the latter barely $40, even after
feeding several months. It does not require many figures to tell which is the most profitable for a farmer to raise. He
is of the opinion also, a light horse is more profitable to raise, for market or service, on a farm than a heavy home.

Leo H. Campbell, the son of Henry and Vie Howard Campbell, was born on the farm on the Janesville road, where
practically his entire life was spent, December 1, 1869. He attended the Evansville Seminary and was graduated with
the class of 1891 on November 27, 1895, he was married to Miss Minnie Peterson bringing his wife to the old
homestead which his father had purchased many years before from Levi Leonard.
Here was born his four children, Lucille, a graduate of Northwestern University and a present a teacher of
mathematics in the Janesville high school; Donald a student in school of engineering at the Unviersity of Wisconsin,
little twelve year Ruth who has shown marked ability as an agriculturist and who has been an active and successful
member of the stock raising clubs for boys and girls; and Paul. Besides the immediate family he is survied by two
sisters, Mrs. Eva C. Leonard of Petersburg, Tenn., and Miss Pearl H. Campbell of Milwaukee.
His death, which was a shock to the entire community, came quite suddenly and painlessly early on the morning of
November 17th while he was attending to some duties on the farm. It was as though God's finger touched him and he
slept.
To few is it given to enjoy in so large a measure, the respect, the affection of an entire community. He had no
enemies. Men in all walks of life loved and respected him. No one ever came to him for help and went away empty
handed.
He learned early in life that to be truly happy is to serve and so he gave unstintedly of himself to his family and to the
wider circle stretching beyond the farmhouse doors, even though he knew that he was going beyond his strength.
Now in the harvest time of the year, in the golden glory of his manhood, he has gone home, leaving to the world the
example of a blameless life and to those who were closest to him the priceless heritage of a charger without
reproach.
