(August 9, 1811 — November 26, 1882) Lewis Davis Campbell was a printer, businessman, lawyer, and politician. Campbell was born in Franklin, Ohio in 1811. He worked as an apprentice to a printer from 1828 to 1831, and later published a newspaper in Hamilton, Ohio from 1831 to 1835. Campbell also worked in agriculture before starting his political career. He served in the United States House of Representatives multiple times throughout his career. He was first elected to the House in 1848 as a Whig and served as a Whig for the Thirty-First, Thirty-Second, and Thirty-Third Congresses. Campbell then changed his party allegiances and was elected to the Thirty-Fourth Congress as a candidate of the Opposition Party. At the beginning of the Thirty-Fifth Congress, he presented his credentials to Congress as a Republican but his election was contested by Clement Vallandigham, who succeeded him. During the Civil War, Campbell enlisted in the Union Army and served as a colonel. After the war, he was elected to the United States Senate but resigned before he took office, having been elected as a Democrat to the House of Representatives. Campbell served in the House for a final time from March 4, 1871 to March 3, 1873. After his service in Congress, he attended the third State constitutional convention in 1873 and continued to work in agriculture until his death in 1882.
