Splendid Woman Passes Away Early Today – Funeral Wednesday

Mrs. Campbell's husband died about forty-two years ago and she had since made her home with her son, Lon. The children surviving are Lon Campbell and Dr. J. L. Campbell of Franklin, Alex Campbell of Ripley county, Dan Campbell of Emporia, Kansas, Edward Campbell of Pensacola, Florida, and Mrs. Mary J. Myers of Franklin and Mrs. Olive A.

Mrs. Campbell was born in Ohio, September 29, 1836. She came to Indiana many years ago, and had lived the greater part of the time since then at Edinburg. She moved here with her son's family three years ago from Edinburg. She was a member of the Methodist church at Edinburg and was a woman of remarkable Christian character. She was a devoted mother, a lovable companion and a true Christian.

NOTE - Spouse Link: The James 'Dewitt' Campbell buried in Brown Co IN is believed to be James CLINTON Campbell. There is no record of a James 'Dewitt' Campbell. Clinton died sometime before the 1880 census (Minerva was a widow on the 1880), the age is right, the location of burial is right. We believe the stone is wrong in naming him Dewitt instead of Clinton.
