After a few terms of teaching, she was married at Burlington, Iowa, on October 17, 1866, to Thomas Hayes Campbell, son of William S. and Maria Campbell, of near Kossuth. They came to Chariton in 1870, locating on a farm, now the home of Ward Carpenter, in Benton township. Her home has been in and near Chariton since that time. Her busband preceded her in death June 27, 1902, since which time she has made her home with her children.
She was the mother of nine children, three of whom preceded her in death. They were Mrs. Nellie Long, Miss Leila Campbell and Win S. Campbell.
Surviving her are two daughters and four sons, Mrs. Maude Bonnett, Robert J. Campbell and Thomas B. Campbell, all of Chariton and vicinity; Bert R. Campbell, Laguna Beach, Calif.; Will S. Campbell, Los Angeles, Calif.; and Mrs. Gladys Cornell, of Lacona, with whom she made her home.
She also leaves fifteen grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, and one sister, Mrs. Sarah Palmer, and two nephews, of Elma, Wash., and two nieces, Mrs. Lena Gray Blair, of Lincoln, Nebr., and Miss Helen Gray, of Long Beach, Calif.
Coming of old pioneer stock, she knew many hardships, but her faith in God and her unfailing courage and ingenuity, carried her over many rough paths. She had been in failing health for several years and suffered a fall which had made her bedfast the past year.
