Harold J. Campbell, son of Richard and Lena (Putman) Campbell, was born on November 24, 1923 on the family’s farmstead near Egeland. After graduating from the Egeland High School, he continued to farm with his father. On May 20, 1945 he married Ella Baerwald in Egeland. Shortly after, the couple moved to the farm where they would raise their five children.

Harold loved farming as it put to test his mechanical and handyman skills. However, it wasn’t until retirement that his talents became well known to others. Harold quickly became a local resource for anyone who had problems with small engines and magnetos. Word of his skills eventually spread, to the point that he was even shipped engines to repair from overseas. His humble and helpful nature will be missed by many. Harold was very active in the Trinity Lutheran Church until it’s closing at which time he became involved at Cando Lutheran.

Harold is survived by his wife: Ella; three daughters: Mary (Don) Schumacher of Tucson, AZ, Elaine (Don) Haugen of Langdon, ND and Irene (Ken) Adler of Sandpoint, ID; two sons: Ray (Paula) of Tucson, AZ and Robert (Marlene) of Yuma, AZ; ten grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

Harold is preceded in death by his parent and two brothers: Ted and Cecil Campbell.

Our sympathies on the loss of your father, grandfather, great-grandfather.... and to Ella- husband. We know you have many good Harold stories to share. Keep those in your hearts as you remember him in the next days and in the future.

So sorry to hear of the death of your father. We did not know him, but I would guess he was a great guy. Please know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Sorry we will not be there for the services as we will not be home until the 28th. We are thinking of you and praying that God will fill you with His Comfort and Peace now and in the lonely times ahead. Sending a special hug to you Elaine . . . we will get together later back in Langdon. Blessings!

We are sorry for your loss. We will not be able to be there with you all at this time, but I will never forget the good times I had with your children while I was growing up on the farm.Our prayers are with you and your family.

Just wanted you to know that our thoughts are with you and your extended family. Cherish this time with each other as you honor and remember your Dad.

A relative of mine in the Grand Forks area sent me the obituary of Harold Campbell. I checked our family tree to see the relation. My mother, Laura Baerwald Zimbrick, may be remembered by Ella. Laura was Ewald Baerwald's daughter; she died in 2000. If she were alive, she'd send condolences to you. Since she is now in her heavenly home, I will offer my condolences to you. May God give you the comfort of the heavenly home that awaits all believers in Christ. I have some memories of many years ago of a very nice Amunda Baerwald and wrote to her when she lived in Hazen; I was a young girl then.

Our Prayers and Thoughts are with you all. Sorry we could not be there for the services. We would have loved to see you all and to give you all a big hug!
