"John Campbell, a former resident of Wheeling and a brother of Mrs. John Cover of this city, was killed in Kansas City late Friday evening by a steam roller.

Mr. Campbell was an engineer on the roller, which was rolling a street alongside which was a deep ditch. The roller got too close to the edge and fell over in the ditch onto Campbell. He started to jump when his pant leg became entangled and he went down with the machine.

The remains were shipped to Wheeling Sunday and interred in the Wheeling Cemetery." The Chillicothe Constitution, September 24, 1906
