Lewis D. Campbell

Campbell Avenue is named after the then US Congressman from Hamilton and ardent opponent of the expansion of slavery to the new western territories. In the summer before the Civil War, future President Andrew Johnson, was the only southern senator to oppose secession. He stayed with Campbell in Hamilton for weeks during the summer/fall of 1861.
