"Campbell, Jonathan, a member of the Mormon Battalion, Company E, was born in Massachusetts in 1812. He was married in the 22nd year of his life and became the father of five children. In 1839 or 1840 he was baptized by his brother, Benegar Campbell, gathered with the saints to Nauvoo early in 1844, was driven from Illinois across the Mississippi River and underwent many hardships during the general exodus. Having arrived on the Missouri River, he enlisted in the Mormon Battalion July 16, 1846, and in taking his departure for California, he left a loving wife and three small children and everything that was dear to him. He never saw his wife again, as she died at Council Bluffs, a victim to the many hardships to which she was exposed. Her three small children were brought to the "Valley" in the emigration of 1847, and after Bro. Campbell's discharge from the Battalion, he joined them in Utah in 1848. He located and helped to settle North Ogden, where he resided until the time of his death, which occurred there Nov. 24, 1886. Bro. Campbell died, as he had lived, a faithful Latter-day Saint."^[2]
