Biographical Sketch

The collection concerns William Lindsey Campbell, his wife Mary Florence Edwards Wise Campbell, and their respective families. Lindsey was born in 1895 to William A. and Mattie Lindsey Campbell. William and Mattie were pioneers in the Panhandle region of Texas and William served as a Commissioner of Potter County. The Campbells also had a daughter, Sadie Campbell Holden. Lindsey attended Texas A & M and Baylor University then returned to ranching in the Panhandle and in eastern New Mexico. Mary Florence Edwards was born to Charles W. and Viola Elam Edwards in 1900. The family moved from Illinois to Quay County New Mexico early in the 20th century. Viola died in 1910 leaving Florence and her five siblings to be raised by their father. Quay County ranchers and pioneers J. M. and C. Elizabeth Burnam Wise later adopted Florence. In 1946, Lindsey and Florence were married and continued ranching until his death in 1954. Florence married again to Marlin Gilbreath.
