Joel Campbell

'Joel Campbell is buried in an unmarked grave at Mt. Pisgah Cemetery. The book, "Sacred Places", pg 280, states "One of the converts to Mormonism in Ridgebury Township, Pennsylvania was Joel Campbell. Many of the Campbell family joined the Mormon faith. Mormon Lake was reportedly used for baptisms in the area." He died of cholera at Mt. Pisgah. There is an inscription on the South side of the monument listing his name. This monument was erected in 1888 in memory of those members of the LDS Church who died in 1846, 1847 and 1848 during their exodus to seek a home in the Rocky Mountains. It also shows his birthplace as Deer Park, Orange, New York.

Joel was the son of Jonathan Campbell and Phoebe Button. He was married to Mercy Miranda Hill. They lived in Nauvoo, ILL and left in the early spring when the Mormons were told to leave. He helped to build up the Iowa area for Saints that would come after. He had many children one of which was David William Campbell who survived and helped many pioneers along the way even his own mother Mercy. Joel Campbell is my very own great-great-great grandfather.
