Misc. Notes
Henry Fraser Campbell, of Augusta, Georgia, was born in Savannah, Georgia on 10 February 1824, and died on 15 December 1891. He was the son of James C. Campbell and was of Irish-American lineage. His mother, Mary R. [Eve] Campbell, a lady of fine intellectural endowments and high culture, was the only daughter of Joseph Eve, a name once familiar as connected with the early history of the cotton gin. This gentleman was the father of Professor Paul F. Eve, of Nashville, Tennessee, who were the preceptors and trainers in medicine and surgery of the subject of this sketch in the earlier periods of his life. He married on 17 June 1844 to Sarah Bosworth Sibley. In 1861, he was commissioned a surgeon in the Confederate States Army; he was assigned as the medical director of the Georgia Military Hospital at Richmond, Virginia, and in this capacity -- being at the same time a member of the Army Board of Medical Examiners-- served until the end of the War.
