Archibald H. Campbell, a highly respected and representative citizen of Contra 
Costa County, ably discharges the duties devolving upon him in the capacity of 
superintendent of the California Gas Company, at Stege. His birth occurred in 
Oakland, California, on November 20, 1882. He acquired his education in the 
Oakland public schools, after which he attended the California School of 
Mechanical Arts, graduating from the chemical department. He became identified 
with the sugar factory at Oxnard for a time, and later removed to Stege, where 
he became associated with the present concern, which he is representing as 
superintendent and chemist. His next promotion was to take charge of the plant 
as superintendent. In this connection he has proven a valuable and efficient 
representative of the corporation. On July 7, 1906, Mr. Campbell was joined in 
wedlock to Miss Mae Watrous, daughter of C. L. and Betty Watrous. To this union 
have been born two children - Archibald H., Jr., born August 11, 1907, and 
Cheryl Beth, born August 15, 1911. Fraternally, Mr. Campbell is identified with

of Richmond and the Royal Arch degrees. He also belongs to the Eastern Star, and
