Campbell Weir attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, but did not accept a commission upon his 1924 graduation. In the 1930's he became a stock broker, but after his marriage to Esther DuPont, he became independently wealthy, and lived the life of a country gentleman. Hunting with beagles and horse racing became his favorite activities. He even produced the Rockland Beagle breed.
In the 1940s, Weir established Dispensers, Inc., a company that manufactured and distributed soft drink vending machines. During World War 2, he volunteered and served as an Air Corps officer.
In 1946 Weir purchased the historic Humphry Marshall house, at Marshallton, Chester County, PA. He lived there for the rest of his life, and bequeathed the house, surrounding acreage, and his personal papers and possessions to the Chester County Historical Society.
In accordance with his wishes, his body was cremated and the ashes placed between the graves of his two favorite dogs in a small marked plot on the grounds behind his home.
