Donald Campbell
The story of Campbell's last attempt at the water speed record on Coniston Water was told in the BBC television film "Across the Lake" in 1988, with Anthony Hopkins as Campbell. Nine years earlier, Robert Hardy had played Campbell's father, Sir Malcolm Campbell, in the "BBC2 Playhouse" television drama "Speed King"; both were written by Roger Milner and produced by Innes Lloyd. In 2003, the BBC showed a documentary reconstruction of Campbell's fateful water-speed record attempt in an episode of "Days That Shook the World". It featured a mixture of modern reconstruction and original film footage. All of the original colour clips were taken from a film capturing the event, "Campbell at Coniston" by John Lomax, a local amateur filmmaker from Wallasey, England. Lomax's film won awards worldwide in the late 1960s for recording the final weeks of Campbell's life.
Alexander Campbell (Illinois politician)
After his defeat, he never again held public office, although he issued pamphlets such as his 1878 "Address to the voters of the seventh congressional district of Illinois". 
He was proposed at the 1880 national convention of the Greenback Party as the Greenback nominee for President of the United States (the convention chose James B. Weaver instead, although the "beloved" Campbell received 21 delegate votes).
He died in LaSalle on August 8, 1898, and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
