DEATH OF MRS. CAMPBELL

Was Niece of First wife of Ex-President Harrison

Mrs. Colin Campbell died in this city yesterday, aged about 50 years. The
deceased was the niece of the first wife of ex-President Harrison. Her
husband, Colin Campbell, was a well known mining man and was killed on the
Snake river about 10 years ago, his assailant being now serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary for the murder.

Mrs. Campbell was born in Indianapolis, Ind., and was married in that state.
Soon after the couple married to Montana, where they resided several years.
They came to Oregon about 15 years and Mr. Campbell at once became interested
in mines in the Chicken creek district, and afterwards moved on the Snake
river where he met his death. Four of a family survive the deceased, all of
whom were adopted.
