Nathan Campbell, Pioneer and First Mayor of Kearney at Rest.
The sturdy pioneer, bent with the accumulation of years come and gone has been in poor health for some time past which terminated last night in his death of heart disease.
Nathan Campbell was one of the earliest settlers of Kearney, coming here in 1872 from New York and built the house on First Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street, which is still standing and occupied by Albert F. Lewis. In 1874 he was elected the first mayor of Kearney, and it was his privilege to see a fine city grow where he first made his simple home. In later years he built a handsome home which he has since occupied at the head of Central Avenue and Thirty-first Street.
Nathan Campbell was born at Cato, Cayuga County, New York, on May 2, 1822, and was in his eighty-sixth year. He moved to Wayne County, New York when he was ten years old and went to school at Clyde. His father died when he was sixteen years o age and Nathan supported himself then and ever since. He was a sailor on the Great Lakes for many years, was in the boating and forwarding business on the Erie canal and farmed near Clyde, New York.
Deceased is survived by his wife Jane, now in feeble health, to whom he has been married fifty-five years.
He will be buried in the old burial lot at South Butler, New York, where his two children are buried. The funeral services were held from his late residence at four o'clock this afternoon, Rev. F. D. Hobson officiating.∼Nathan married Jane on March 16, 1855,Wayne County, New York. They had two children. His body was returned to NY for burial with other family members. This is a cenotaph.
