      RALPH M. CAMPBELL,
  
  [p. 666] deputy prothonotary of Lawrence County, has probably had more
  years of experience in the prothonotary's office than any other man in
  the State of Pennsylvania. He was born in 1866, at New Castle, Pa., and
  is a son of David I. Campbell, a native of Turtle Creek, Allegheny
  County, who served six years in the office of prothonotary.
  
  Ralph M. Campbell was reared at New Castle and educated in her public
  schools. He made himself useful in clerical positions from boyhood, for
  a time being in the employ of the firm of G. M. Clark & Company, in the
  crockery line. In 1884 he became his father's deputy in the
  prothonotary's office and served through the latter's incumbency and
  served six more years in the same capacity under Capt. J. H. Gilliland
  and six under A. S. Love, when he was elected prothonotary himself. Mr.
  Campbell served six years or two terms, and since then has been deputy
  for the present prothonotary. He has ever taken a more or less interest
  in politics, being an ardent Republican. His father served in the Civil
  War, first as a musician in the noted Round Head Regiment, and later in
  the One Hundred and Ninety-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry.
  
  In 1894 Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Eva M. Robinson, who is a
  daughter of the late Joseph Robinson. They are members of the First
  Methodist Episcopal Church of New Castle, of which he is secretary. He
  has been a member of the Sons of Veterans ever since its organization,
  and is quartermaster of Troop F, N.G.P. He has also been for many years
  a member of the B.P.O.E.
