Campbell, a retired Lake Odessa merchant, died at his home here Sunday morning after two years of illness, at the age of 68 years. Born in Hillsdale, December 1, 1873, he came to Lake Odessa 27 years ago and entered the clothing business. After two years he was joined by L. T. Gilson and the firm was known as Campbell & Gilson. His health failing, he retired in February, 1940, and in May, 1940, sold his interest in the business to Morley C. Hough. He has been tenderly cared for during his illness by a loving wife that his days might be as bright as possible. He was a life member of the Masonic lodge, a life deacon in the Congregational church and until taken ill, an active member of the Lions club. He was a faithful and devoted husband. Even the long illness had prepared them for the separation. Surviving besides the widow, Mary, are two sisters, Miss Cora Campbell, Mrs. Clark Davies, both at Reading, Mich., one nephew, J. E. Davies and a niece, Miss Charlotte Davies, besides several cousins and many friends. The funeral was held at the Wortley & Baine chapel Tuesday afternoon with the Rev. L. W. Manning, of Charlotte, officiating. Interment was made in Lakeside cemetery amid many floral memorials. The pall bearers were R. C. Smith, C. E. Huntzinger, D. D. Skellenger, M. C. Hough, W. C. McCartney, and F. W. Bulling. File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/c/campbell19104nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
