  PHEBE ANN CAMPBELL Compiled by Margaret S. Loosle, 2007 Phebe Ann Campbell was born June 17, 1820, the third child of John Campbell and Mercy Worden. The family lived in Ridgeberry Township, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania. Her mother died giving birth to twins when Phebe was 12 years old leaving her with a lot of responsibility with her father and siblings. The twins were given away leaving nine children in the home. She married Isaiah Campbell, her first cousin, sometime before 1840. Isaiah and Phebe Ann had both been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and gathered with the body of the Church in Nauvoo, Illinois. When the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo the couple eventually moved to Burlington, DesMoines Co., Iowa. Some of the other members of the Campbell family also lived there and they stayed for some time. It is assumed that they did not have the resources to move west but were finally able to cross the plains and settled in North Ogden, Utah. Isaiah married Sarah Susanna Garrard in 1854. When they begin having children and Phebe had not had any children, she became dissatisfied with the situation. Isaiah and Phebe had been married for nineteen years when they divorced. She lived in North Ogden, taking care of her sister Abigail’s children, for almost five years when she married her uncle, Jonathan Campbell, on October 13, 1860. Jonathan was a prominent citizen of the community for several reasons. First, he had served in the Mormon Battalion which gave him status among the members of the Church. Next, he was of the first contingent of pioneers to settle the land in North Ogden and held considerable property. Jonathan had been married to Charity Fuller in Pennsylvania. She died in Winter’s Quarters, Iowa, leaving three living children. After returning from the Mormon Battalion, Jonathan married Lucinda Shipman who had crossed the plains with two children. She and Jonathan had three living children when he married Phebe so there was a big family to take care of. Since Phebe’s first husband had given her a home it is not likely that they all lived in the same house, however. Phebe had two children when she was forty-two and forty-four years old. John Alvin was born first but was killed when he was kicked by a mule at the age of four. This left Nephi Lorin and by all accounts Phebe doted on him all her life. Phebe took up midwifery when she was quite young. Since she had no children of her own at that time and traveled long distances to take care of expectant mothers. Even after she had a child of her own she would take him along and go out in the middle of the night to care for the sick. Once she stayed six weeks with a cousin who had Typhoid Fever. The baby took to her so much she took the baby home and cared for her with the rest of the children in the household. She charged three dollars for delivering a baby and nursing the mother for ten days. Often she would take payment in food or dry goods or whatever the family had. Sometimes she would travel back and forth between two families to deliver the babies and then to dress them. She didn’t quit going until she was sixty-nine or seventy. At that time her husband was ill so she stayed home to take care of him until he died. She is described as a wonderful nurse and always went out when she was called in spite of very bad storms and terrible winds. Phebe was a Sunday-School teacher for many years of a class of boys, 10 or 12 years old. When she was young she was tall and thin but as she got older she is described as being a large, heavy woman. Her hair was dark brown, her eyes blue, and she had a medium complexion. When her husband died, he had deeded his property into plots for his children. Phebe retained the house she lived in which was the one that had been given to her by her first husband. She also was deeded some land along with her son, Nephi Lorin. Lorin and his wife, Jemima, moved into part of the house and Phebe lived in the other part. They farmed the land and sold produce off of it until Phebe’s death on October 30, 1895. Phebe was extremely clean in her house keeping. She was a hard worker and five days before her death she had made preserves. Just before she died she had done the washing outside and the house had become full of steam because of heating the water. She went to a political rally in the evening and upon returning home went to bed with a cold. It turned into pneumonia which caused her death. She is buried in the North Ogden Cemetery. Phebe left a bible to her son in which she recorded two pages of birth dates of her family and birth and death dates of other family members. We can all be grateful to her for her devotion to record keeping. Sources: Biography of Phebe Ann Campbell by Jemima Godfrey Campbell, daughter-in-law. Life sketches of Phebe by Myrtle C.

She was the third child in a family of eleven children.She was married in Pennsylvania to a cousin, Isaiah Campbell. They came across the plains in the early 1850\'s and settled in North Ogden, Utah, where other Campbell family members had settled.They lived together for nineteen years, but had no children. They separated when Isaiah became interested in a girl that had arrived from England, which he married. He gave Phoebe Ann the home in North Ogden.Phoebe married again Oct. 13, 1860 to her uncle, Jonathan Campbell, in Salt Lake City. She was 40 years of age but bore two children, John Alvin and Nephi Lorin. John Alvin was kicked by a mule when he was four years old and died. This left Lorin, the apple of her eye, which she raised with loving attention.Phoebe became a midwife and devoted many hours nursing the sick and delivering babies in North Ogden and Pleasant View. She stayed with many mothers for ten days upon a birth, unless she was called to another delivery. She asked $3.00 for her services and was often paid in food or dry goods or whatever the family had. One time, two babies were being born about the same time, one in North Ogden and one in Pleasant View. She traveled back and forth between the two homes and delivered and dress each new child.At home, her sister Abigail, was taking care of the housekeeping and cooking while raising her two girls and Phoebe\'s son.Phoebe taught Sunday School classes of boys, 10 or 12 years of age, for many years. As a young girl she was tall and slim. Her hair was dark brown, her eyes blue, and of medium complexion.Her husband, Jonathan, died November 24, 1886. Before his death he deeded property to Phoebe and Lorin jointly. They divided living quarters, each having their own rooms, and stayed on the property in North Ogden until Phoebe\'s death, October 30, 1895 at the age of 74 years, of pneumonia. She was buried at North Ogden, Utah. (Information for this bio was given to the authors by descendants of the subjects who lived in North Ogden.
