the last two years, Mr. Campbell suffered a severe heart attack Sunday

            A native of Alexander county, he was born in the Bethel Church

            Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Jessie Margaret Bentley on 
December 21, 1904, and the couple moved to Illinois, where he was a successful 
farmer until his health failed sixteen years ago. They made their home in 
Chesterville, Ill., for nineteen years and moved to Hickory about twelve years 
ago.

            Mr. Campbell was a member of the Masonic lodge at Taylorsville, 
and was affiliated with the Baptist church.

            The funeral services will be held at Walnut Grove Baptist church, 
between Taylorsville and North Wilkesboro, at two-thirty o'clock Wednesday 
afternoon.

            In addition to his widow, Mr. Campbell is survived by four sons 
and four daughters, as follows:

Mrs. Glayde Kerley of Suffolk, Va., who will arrive in Hickory tonight; LeRoy 
Campbell of Mooresville; Mrs. Edd Townsend, James F., Orville, and Charles 
Campbell, and Misses Elizabeth and Mary Ann Campbell, all of Hickory. There 
are five grandchildren.

            Mr. Campbell had eight brothers and sisters, five of whom survive, 
J.A. Campbell of Harmony, near Statesville; Ed Campbell of Taylorsville; Mrs. 
Jones Barnes, Kansas City, Mo.; Will Campbell, LaFlore, Okla., and Mrs. Myrtle 
Osborne, Charlotte.
