Here are some more of the obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant
cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already.
Remember that the problem with these is that there are very few actual
dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names
written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in
on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you,
please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other
information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and
possibly a newspaper name, also.

Rites Held Tuesday For Steele Campbell

        A simple and touching service in tribute to Steele Campbell, a long time
respected citizen of Monett, who died Sunday evening, June 19, was held at
his home, 306 Seventh street, Tuesday afternoon.
        A large number of railroad men with whom he had worked and affiliated,
besides many other relatives and friends attended the services.
        Rev. J.H. Stidman, pastor of the Christian church, conducted the services.
 His scripture readings were from 1 Corinthians 15 and St. John 14.
        The minister commented upon the manly qualities of Mr. Campbell, who was
kindly, friendly and lovable in disposition.  During his last hours of
suffering he was thoughtful of those who waited upon him.
        Mr. Stidham took his text from Isaiah 61:1; "He hath sent me to bind up
the broken-hearted."  His sermon was one of consolation and hope.
        A quartet composed of Mrs. W. F. Landrum, Mrs. W. J. Mills, Howard Gulick
and Leslie Mason sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "Sweet Bye and Bye,"
"No Night There," and "God Will Take Care of You."  Mrs. M.C. Shipley was
pianist.
        Burial took place in the I.O.O.F. cemetery beside the grave of Mrs.
Campbell who died in 1918.  Pallbearers were E. E. Johnson, E.A. Everley,
R.C. Farrow, George Willhoite, Mark Tiernan and J.H. Gulick.
        The many beautiful floral pieces were carried by Mrs. R. C. Farrow, Mrs.
E. A. Everley, Mrs. F. L. Higgins, Mrs. Fred Bowen, Mrs. E. P. Bridwell,
Mrs. Phil Bounous, Mrs. Fred Shaffer, Mrs. E. S. Wilson, Mrs. H.M.
McIntosh, Miss Genevieve Martin, Mrs. Leo Harback, Mrs. C. O. Rauch, Dr.
Johnson-Parsons and Mrs. R.H. Kinser.
