Daily Nevada State Journal July 20, 1888
J. B. Campbell Dead.—News was brought down to Truckee, says the Republican, from
Tahoe City Wednesday morning that J. B. Campbell, the pioneer resident at that
place, died suddenly that morning.  Tuesday he was as well as usual, and was
around.  In the night he was taken with no attack of asthma, of which disease he
had long been a sufferer.  During this attack he was taken with a severe fit of
coughing, and in coughing it is thought that he ruptured a blood-vessel, and
hemorrhage occurred, from which he choked to death before assistance could reach
him.  Mr. Campbell was a pioneer of California, and sometime in the ‘50s he kept
the American House on the Placerville road.  Later, when the railroad was being
built, he ran a hotel at Cisco.  In 1868 he removed to Tahoe, being one of the
first settlers at this end of the lake.  He has lived there ever since except
when absent during the Winter time.  He was a respected citizen, and his loss
will be felt in the community where he has lived so long.  He leaves a family of
sons and daughters, now grown to manhood and womanhood.
