CAMPBELL PASSES PEACEFULLY AWAY It is indeed with sad regret that we chronicle the death of one of Heflin's oldest and most respected citizens, Rev. F.M. Campbell, which occurrence took place Monday evening last at 7 o'clock, after a lingering illness. The death of such a man as Mr. Campbell is always felt in the community. His daily walk through life was that of an honest, upright, Christian gengleman and his influence for good was felt by all with whom he came in contact. Kind, patient, forbearing, he bore his long seige of suffering with christian fortitude until god called him to his reward in Heaven. Rev. J.A. Scott conducted the funeral ceremonies at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning in the M.E. Church, south, of which the deceased was a member and his eulogy of him was indeed beautiful and carried with it a valuable lesson to the unsaved person. A large assemblage was present to pay their last sad respect to this man of god and every one present was visibly affected. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. Upon the casket lay a wreath of flowers, the work of loving hands, and in the center of the wreath were these words "in god we trust." The remains were interred in the Heflin cemetery to await the resurrection morn. The deceased was born July 10, 1834; was received into the church in 1865; was licensed to preach the gospel in 1867, which work he continued until about a year previous to his death when he was compelled to discontinue it, owing to failing health. The deceased was twice married, five children being the result of his first union, and three of his second, all of whom are living including his second wife. Peace to his ashes. The following gentlemen acted as pall bearers: W.G. Milligan, L.L.Herron, J.F.Morgan, M.D. Robison, J.B. Chambers. " Asleep in jesus, blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep; A calm and undistrubed respose, Unbroken by the last of foes." _________________________ Mrs. Nancy Turner of Edwardsville is visiting Mrs. W.R.
