Ionia Standard, 23 May 1913

William Campbell was born Oct. 3, 1835, in Glasgow, Scotland.  He came to this
country with his parents and settled in the state of New York in 1839.  They
removed to Keene, Ionia county, Michigan, in the spring of 1850.  William
Campbell bought a farm comprising 120 acres adjoining his father’s farm, where
he has since resided.

He was married to Miss Frances Green in 1860.  His wife died about three years
ago and since that time he has been in poor health and has never seemed to be
able to recover from the loss of his wife, always referring to the same as being
irreparable.

He has been in the hospital at Alma several times, and while visiting with his
friends near Greenville was taken suddenly very ill and at once became an inmate
of the Greenville hospital, where, after illness of several weeks, he passed
away at 1:30 a.m. May 10, 1918, aged 77 years, 7 months, and 7 days.

Mr. Campbell has always been a good citizen of industrious habits, peace loving
among his neighbors, kind hearted, accommodating and honest.

He leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Gibson of Belding, and one brother, John D.
Campbell, who resides on the old homestead in Keene, to mourn their loss,
besides his numerous friends and neighbors.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. H. Ellis of Ashley, were held at the church
in Smyrna on Monday afternoon.  Interment was in Smyrna cemetery.
