MRS. A. CAMPBELL, OLDEST RESIDENT OF WINN PARISH, DIES
    ______________________
  The death of Mrs. Ann Campbell, 98, ended the life of the oldest
resident of Winn parish.  She died suddenly Tuesday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock at the home of her son, J.W. Campbell, in Winnfield, where she
has resided for the past seven years.
   Mrs. Campbell is the last of the Smith brothers and sister trio,
whose birthdays were given much celebration each year because of the
lengthy spans of their lives.  Her brothers, Perce Smith, who died three
years ago, was 93 years of age, and John Smith, who died last year, was
99 years of age.
   Although Aunt Ann was blind and deaf the last two years of her life,
she was always cheerful.  Four wars took place during her lifetime, and
it was at the end of the Civil War, in 1864 that she married William
Huey Campbell a native of Jackson parish and who preceded her in
death many years ago.  For eighty years she was a member of the
Fellowship Baptist church of Winn parish. She was born in Mississippi.
   Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock and burial
was beside her husband at the Mineral Springs cemetery, near Sikes. Rev.
Calvin Robinson of Laurel Heights, Rev. Alwin Stokes and Judge Cas Moss,
all of Winnfield, conducted the services
under the direction of the Edmonds Funeral Home, Jonesboro.
   Mrs. Campbell is survived by three sons J.W. Campbell of Winnfield,
J.H. Campbell of  Epps, La., Adam campbell of Mangham, La; four
daughters, Mrs. George Walker, Mrs Sarah Jane Thompson, both of Sikes,
Mrs. Tom N. Burnett of Gaars Mill, and Mrs, Sam Pepper of Jonesboro; and
sixty-six grandchildren
