OBITUARY
MRS. D. CAMPBELL, DELL
DELL. Sept. 17. -- (Special) -- A gloom was cast over this district Sunday morning, when it was learned that Mrs. Donald Campbell had passed away at 5 p.m. Though she had been in poor health for the last eight years the end was somewhat unexpected.
She leaves to mourn their loss her husband, eight sons, the youngest about six years old; one sister, Mrs. M. J. N. Murray, and one brother, A. D. Nicholson, of Milan.
Mrs. Campbell was gifted over the ordinary in a loving, gentle manner, and though so poorly in health never complained, but had a smile and an encouraging word for everybody. She managed her home and family in such a say that they were all so devoted to her that their only aim was to comfort her in her days of trouble. One son, Dannie Allan is now overseas.
The funeral was held on Tuesday at 10 a.m., her pastor, Rev. M. McLeod, officiating, assisted by Rev. D. McLeod, Gould. Those attending the funeral from a distance were Mrs. J. Morrison, Stearns Morrison, Gould; Mrs. A. McLeod, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Morrison, Galson; Alex McIver, John McIver, J. J. McIver and Miss Katie McIver, Marsboro, relatives of deceased; Mr. Angus Morrison and Mrs. Stearns, Scotstown.
