Text: SHE DIED IN GEORGIA
A Sad Story of Elopement, Desertion
and Death of a Nebraska Lady

ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 23-[ Special to The Omaha Herald]- A woman known as Sarah 
Campbell died in the Houston County poorhouse today, leaving three children, 
the oldest but 3 years of age. She was only 26 years of age.

Mrs. Campbell came here two months ago with her husband and her sister. Later 
he deserted her and is now supposed to be in Kentucky, while the sister left 
for North Bend, Neb., three weeks ago.

The woman thus deserted took sick and pined away until death came to her relief.
During life she refused to speak of her antecedents, but after her death Supt. 
Reddup examined the papers found among her effects, and then it was found that 
her husband's real name was W. C. Stubbert instead of Campbell, and that she 
was the daughter of the Rev. George L. Brown, a Methodist minister of Dodge 
County, Nebraska, near Webster post office.

The children have been sent to the Orphan's home at Macon.

A lady who was made a confidante by the dead woman says that her marriage was 
an elopement, that Stubbert kept his wife on the road almost all the time, and 
that he assumed the name of Campbell in order that he might better throw off 
pursuit by the Rev. Mr. Brown.
