Milton A Campbell, native born
and almost a lifelong resident of this
town, died on Monday last of long
and painful illness, aged IS years.
Mr.. Campbell was the son of the late
James Campbell, and the brother of
Nahum K. Campbell, who died a little
more than year ago. For over forty
years he has lived in the village, and
at the time of his death was the last
man living in the village who was a
resident there thirty years ago. He
married Adeline Blake in 1849, and
moved soon to the Stephen Blake
place, where he has resided ever since.
He was a very genial, kind hearted,
neighborly man. His home was al
ways open to the poor and to those in
sorrow. He had doubtless helped to
bury more of his townsmen than gath
cred at his funeral, though the num-
Der was large. He was a very intel
l1gent man, and was prompt, efficient
and honorable in all the places of trust
and responsibility which he held A
man of strong convictions, who never
gave his influence on the side of
wrong. No man, perhaps, in the
whole village would be missed more
