| Biography/History: | In 1887 a group of Youngstown, Ohio investors sent Amasa B. Campbell (1845-1912) and associate John A. Finch to investigate the tales of Idaho's fabulous Coeur d'Alene Mining District. The partners quickly determined that there were fortunes to be made. They invested $25,000 in the Gem mine, built a mill to work the ores, and soon were earning thousands of dollars a month. His fortune assured, Campbell returned to Ohio to marry schoolteacher Grace Fox (1859-1924), and they moved to Wallace, Idaho, a raucous mining town that was a far cry from the sedate life of Youngstown. The Campbell's daughter, Helen (1892-1964), was born in Spokane during the same year that labor/management conflicts erupted in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District. Financial panics and collapse of world silver prices accelerated these disputes, and Idaho governors twice placed the mining district under martial law. In 1898 Campbell and Finch moved their mining operations and their residency from Idaho to Spokane, which afforded greater security and more educational, social, and business opportunities. The Campbells built their home at 2316 West 1st Avenue in Browne's Addition. Like many wealthy women of the Progressive Era, Grace Campbell managed her household, gave time and money to charitable organizations, and played a social role, calling on acquaintances, hosting formal dinners, and traveling with friends and family to New York, California, Europe, and the Middle East. Daughter Helen enjoyed new opportunities for women in the 20th century. She was an active sportswoman, playing golf, tennis, and riding horses. She exercised her newly-gained right to vote, and learned to drive a car. Helen enjoyed current fashions, bobbing her hair and trying exciting new dances like the foxtrot, while following traditions such as paying calls and celebrating a formal debut. |
