TRAGIC DEATH OF MISS JANE CAMPBELL Brought Sorrow to the Hearts of Friends 
in Roanoke

The death of Miss Jane Campbell in a hospital in Atlanta on Sunday morning 
brought sorrow to many hearts in Roanoke as well as in Tuskegee, the home of 
the deceased and her parents. All the sadder was the case due to the tragic 
nature of the call of death that came to her in the bloom of health, in the 
early years of young womanhood. Last Friday, one week ago, while riding in 
an automobile with a young man in Tuskegee, the car was turned over due to a 
break of a radius rod, it is thought. Both occupants were injured. The right 
arm of Miss Campbell was badly bruised but it was not thought that the wound 
was dangerous until six days later when blood poison became evident. She was 
carried to Atlanta where the arm was amputated in a desperate effort to save 
her life, but to no avail.

A large party of relatives from Roanoke went Monday afternoon to the 
Campbell home in Tuskegee where lay the body of the one now freed from 
suffering, surrounded by sorrowing friends of both towns and a wealth of 
beautiful flowers. From the home to the Baptist church near by, the gray 
metallic casket was borne to rest again amid the blooming beauty of 
springtime's offering, while the soft notes of the organ stilled every 
heart. Then came the gentle voice of the pastor Dr. Bomar, reading the 
comforting words of the Scripture and speaking in tender appreciation of the 
sweet spirited girl who had gone out from the ranks of his active, devoted 
members. Then the call to prayer, another Bible lesson read by Dr. Ellisor 
of the Methodist church, two sweet songs and again the heavy hearted company 
moved with the beloved dead, to the family lot in the cemetery where all 
that was mortal was committed to the kindly embrace of Mother Earth, the 
common mother of us all.

Miss Campbell was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Campbell and was 
born in Roanoke, moving in early childhood with her parents to Tuskegee. The 
past two years the family has maintained a home in Roanoke, spending a 
portion of the time here, where all members have had a circle of 
appreciative friends. With a tender sympathy these hearts go out to those 
who have lost this dutiful daughter and devoted sister.
