that community until his death. He was married on November 4; 1886, to Miss 
Camilla Ray who died more than 20 years ago. Mr. Campbell was noted for his

and his God. His labors as farmer were constant and incessant, and crowned with 
success. He scorned fraud and dishonesty and was always found on the side of 
honesty and truth. His friends were many and to them, he was always loyal and 
considerate; and by them he was held in high esteem. He was always striving to 
better the condition of his country and was a loyal and constant friend of 
education and religion. He united with the Methodist church many years ago and 
was a consistent and faithful member of same until his death; was always found 
to be a constant and humble follower of his Savior, whom he served until the 
close of his earthly labors. He was a great lover of music and always enjoyed 
the singing of the songs in the Sacred Harp.  For many years he was justice of 
the peace, an office he filled with credit to himself and his county. He was a 
farmer but found time to do other work; for. several years just past, he was a 
director of the First National Bank of Ashland, in which position he did fine 
service for the bank and its patrons. In his home life he was kind and 
considerate, a loving husband, and devoted father; always devoted to his wife 
and his children he strove to give a cheerful. and comfortable home. Besides he 
endeavored to give each of his children a good education. He had six children 
all present at his funeral four boys: John, Ethridge, Hiram and Thurman; and two 
daughters, Cannie now married to Dr. Mayfield of Tuscaloosa, and Claudia, who 
devotedly and constantly ministered to her father's comfort during the last 
years of his life. Mr. Campbell died at his home on April 19, 1943, and was 
buried April 21, 1943, in the cemetery at Mineral Springs.  His body sleeps in 
the grave, but his spirit has gone to.  
"That sweet and blessed country 
The home of God's elect; That sweet and blessed country, 
That eager hearts expect."
