Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta , Ga, Saturday Morning June 26,  1875
Mrs. Frank Campbell, wife of Wm. Campbell, who lives about eight miles from 
this place, died on Wednesday, 16 inst.  We are informed that about twelve 
hours before she died, she went into what was supposed to be a trance.  When 
she recovered, she stated that she had been to heaven, and had seen many of her 
old acquaintances who have been dead for some time, among them her grand 
father, Joseph Morgan, who has been dead about two years.  She asked him if he 
wished to return to earth, when he replied that he did not.  He told her to 
tell his younger daughter, Mrs. Ella Parham, to repent and be baptized, take up 
her cross and come to him.  He also told her that she would be with him soon, 
and at the same time showed her a crown and harp, which was to be hers when she 
got there.  He pointed out her little sister, who died when about two years 
old.  She represented heaven as a very bright, pleasant place, and inhabited by 
millions of happy people, all wearing crowns as bright as the sun, with harps 
in their hands.  A great many children were there.  For several hours before 
she died she repeated many times the verse commencing.  “How sweet the sound of 
Jesus name.”  She talked a great deal in her last hours to her relatives and 
friends, giving them advice and asking them to meet her in heaven.--Cedartown 
Record. (Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta , Ga, Saturday Morning June 26,  1875)
