William CAMPBELL was born 03 Jul 1878 and was murdered 01 Sep 1920 in Songer 
Township, Clay Co., IL by his wife Amy Louiza DYER. The articles give details 
of the horrendous murder and the conviction of his wife. Amy had apparently 
become jealous of William CAMPBELL and the wife of her son William George 
Franklin KLAR (from a previous marriage) whose name was Sarah Evelyn KERBY, 
though the source of the jealousy was unfounded. From the article we also 
learn that William CAMPBELL served in the Spanish-American War.
