Decatur [IL] Daily Review April 9, 1893
Terrible Deed of a Respected Farmer Near Bangor, Mich.

Bangor, April 8.-Andrew Campbell, a respected farmer, Friday shot his former 
wife and himself, both dying instantly. They were divorced about four months 
ago, but had lived together in a house on their farm about four miles west of 
Bangor until three weeks ago, when the house burned. After that they lived 
separately, Mrs. Campbell had sold the farm and had been to Bangor to see 
about beginning proceedings to keep Campbell off the place. When she returned 
he followed her to the house where she was stopping and after a brief 
altercation shot the unfortunate woman dead, and then turning the weapon upon 
himself took his own life. Their oldest child, a 16-year-old girl, was present 
when the tragedy was enacted. They leave five children.
