Few men and women in public service in Arkansas enjoy the deep respect and
unqualified confidence the people of St. Francis County have shown in her due to
her abilities as County Clerk, Miss Annie A. Campbell. In an office which is
charged with the responsibility of the county's tax record, Miss Annie has few
peers, if any. Miss Annie is the daughter of Silas Calvin and Jessie (Griggs)
Campbell. Griggs township was named for her great grandfather, J. M. Griggs,
Sr., who was one of the early county judges. Her grandfather, J. M. Griggs, Sr.,
also served as a county judge. Miss Annie was first elected in 1940-and has been
re-elected each succeeding term without opposition. Miss Annie can always be
found in her office attending to the tremendous amount of detailed bookkeeping.
The cherished reputation for competency, accuracy, and honorable public trust
Miss Annie has earned is deeply appreciated by the people of St. Francis County
and is recognized throughout the state. She is a member of the Methodist church,
County Clerk's Association, Business and Professional Women's Club, and Chamber
of Commerce. She was a member of the original Garden Club. She attended Forrest
City High School and Draughon's Business College in Little Rock. She is a sister
of Tom C. and William W. Campbell, other well known citizens of Forrest City.
