Description

W. E. McCampbell and Bro. was a general merchandise business established in Refugio, Texas, in 1867; a branch store opened in St. Mary's five years later. The firm was owned and operated by Tennessee natives and brothers William Edwin (1827-1880) and Thomas Powell (1840-1903) McCampbell.
