James V. Campbell, of Company q,
Third Battalion Of Delaware Regiment,
wss buried Monday at New Castle.
Mr.. Campbell is another victim of the
fever that imprpgnated Camp Mead.
! He has given his life for the negligence
of some Of his superior officers, and, in
other and palmer words, his relatives
say he was murdered by an Alger
Camp.
The soldier was taken with the fever
about three weeks ago, and came i,)ne
from Camp Meade in advance Of his bat
talon and went from bad to worse until
his life went ont to swell the already
large list who have been killed Tor want
Of proper sanitary conditions.around the
camp fires.
The saddest part of Mr.. Short having
to give up his life is tina, he is the only
support Of his aged mother. She is ~
years of age and has no other son to
look to.
Her lot has been lard one and she is
almost ready to give up the struggle, for
she has been faithful to her sick ,dier
boy and encouraged him to fight for life
while she nursed him as only mother
could. .,.i . a. RH~ .,,H
