Text Appearing Before Image:
Timothy J. Campbell was born of Scotch-Irish ancestry in the County of Cavan, Ireland, in January, 1840. His parents, who belonged to the small gentry of Ireland, but were in straitened circumstances, brought the boy to New York when he was five years old. He attended the public schools of the city for a few years, and then, ambitious to earn his own living, he became a fly boy in the pressroom of the New York Herald. From fly by he steadily advanced to general office manager, holding, at different times, positions on the Herald, Express, Times and Tribune. In the meantime young Campbell, not content with the slight education that he had received, attended night schools and took an active interest in debating. His interest in political questions and his innate ability to lead men naturally turned him into active participation in party politics. From the first he was a stalwart Democrat. His usefulness to the party brought him, in 1865, a position as Deputy in the County Clerks office.
