Campbell, Frank Purnell, and William C. Reilly of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. In 1909, the Mahoning Golf Club purchased 131 acres in Liberty Township and began construction on a new golf course and clubhouse. In 1912 the completed golf course and clubhouse opened as the Youngstown Country Club. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: What is now Chillicothe in Ross County, Ohio, was once home to the Adena and Hopewell prehistoric American Indian cultures. This map shows an ancient earthwork located in Liberty Township, about 8 miles southeast of Chillicothe. The Adena culture (800 B.C. to 100 A.D.) built most of the earthworks and some of the circular enclosures in the Chillicothe area, including the Adena Mound. The Hopewell culture (100 B.C. to 400 A.D.) built monumental earthworks and burial mounds in geometric shapes, primarily in the Paint Creek Valley, a few miles from Chillicothe. Archaeologists E.G. Squier and E.H. Davis, with the help of surveyor and geologist Charles Whittlesey, systematically documented the Indian works and compiled them into an 1847 book called "Ancient monuments of the Mississippi Valley: Comprising the results of extensive original surveys and explorations."

Description: James A. Campbell at a birthday golf outing at the Youngstown Country Club, September 1929. Campbell enjoyed good health for most of his life and continued to play golf well into his seventies. It was not until the failed merger of Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Bethlehem Steel that Campbell's health began to decline. Many consider the failed merger between the two companies as the only blemish on Campbell's record as president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Shown in this image playing golf at his 75th birthday party, steel executive James A. Campbell remained in good health for most of his life. Three years prior to his death Campbell began to have a health problems, probably caused in part from the stress of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube-Bethlehem Steel merger trial. A heart attack claimed Campbell at his home on September 20, 1933. A daughter, Rebecca, preceded him in death by just a few months and Campbell's wife, Uretta, died just a couple of weeks later on October 2, 1933. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing excavated graves at Edwin Harness Mound, 1903. The Edwin Harness Mound was located south of Chillicothe in Liberty Township, Ross County, Ohio. It was the largest of the 14 mounds associated with the nearly 100-acre Liberty Earthworks, a complex dating to late in the Hopewell Period (post-A.D 300). In their 1840s survey, Squier and Davis described the mound as egg-shaped in plan (about 100 x 180 feet) with the larger end toward the north. It was measured at 20 feet high at the north end, sloping to 11 feet at the south end. Like many large Hopewell burial mounds in Ohio, the Harness Mound was repeatedly investigated throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, leading to the recovery of numerous burials and the a variety of related artifacts. The last fieldwork at the site took place in the 1970s in advance of the area being reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Archaeologists dug below the base level of the mound and discovered it had been constructed over the remains of two very large conjoined post structures, most likely ceremonial houses or perhaps a single great house. The houses each measured about 30 x 40 feet connected by a 10 x 10 foot passageway, reminiscent of how Hopewell earthworks in general were laid out. Additionally, numerous artifacts diagnostic of the Hopewell culture were recovered and radiocarbon dates ranging between A.D. 330 and A.D. 470 place the Edwin Harness Mound near the extreme end of the Hopewell sequence.
