Campbell, a resident of this city
for many years was borne to her
last resting place in the Protestant
Cemetery Her life had been one
of those open books read by every
body, n life full Of noble deeds Of
charity and self-sacrifice. Her love
of humanity and charitable dis
position was often taken advantage
of by unworthy people, yet she
never complained, and was ready
to be again deceived rather than
invoke the law for her benefit
For years her home was the resort
Of those who needed the comforts
of home, and to all she was the
careful, painstaking host, ever
studying the comfort Of her pa
irons, who regarded her more as
loving mother than proprietress.
Mrs. Campbell was nearly so years
Of age and leaves to mourn her
loss her son Beverly, and his fam
lily, also Beverly, Sophie, Mary
and Ethel billiard, children Of her
daughter Ida, deceased, wife of
Audubon billiard, deceased. The
funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, the Rev. Vaughan, at
the Methodist Church at this place,
who paid high tribute to this
noble mother in Israel. Sympa-
thising friends in large numbers
accompanied the remains to the
cemetery.
