THOMAS CAMPBELL

In the passing from this life Thomas Campbell, another one of the old settlers of 
Vermontville has gone to his reward. A man of quiet and retiring disposition, he will be 
missed by those who knew him best. A good citizen has passed on and we shall know 
him no more. Thomas Campbell was born June 8, 1836 at Osgood, Canada. His early life 
was spent with the pioneers of that community. In 1859 he made his first visit to the 
states staying but a short time at Fittsburg, Mass. but later established citizenship here by 
making formal application for the naturalization papers in New York State. In 1865 he 
moved to Genoa, Ohio and a year later to Michigan where he has resided practically ever 
since. On March 8,1873 he was married to Anna Dikeman of Pittsfield, Ohio and 
together they established a home in Vermontville where with the exception of a few years 
absense they have lived ever since. There were born to them four children: Hollis 
W.,Frank M., Flossie I, and Burt N. He is survived by his wife, two children, five 
grandchildren, one great grand child, one brother, and one sister. He was laid at rest in 
Woodlawn on Thursday afternoon, Rev. Bredwater officiating, services being held from 
the Congregational church.
