Death of Mrs. Cornelia M. Campbell.

  At 7 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Cornelia M., wife of John M. 
Campbell, Esq., of this city, passed away from a life of intense 
suffering to a better one beyond the skies, aged 51 years, 6 months and 
9 days.  Mrs. Campbell had been afflicted with cancer, which spread 
itself all through her system, giving her untold suffering, all of 
which she bore with remarkable Christian patience and fortitude.  In 
fact it was a mystery to her friends how she lived through the past six 
months, so great was her bodily pain and the severity of the destroying 
disease.  She was born in Schellsburg, Bedford county, July 29, 1828, 
and was a sister of Rev. A. B. Clark, first pastor of the First 
Presbyterian church, of this city, now dead; of Rev. John H. Clark, who 
was formerly pastor of the Tyrone Presbyterian church, also dead; and 
Hon. Rush Clark, late member of Congress from the Fifth Iowa District, 
a eulogy of whom was printed in the TRIBUNE last week.  Mrs. Dr. Ely, 
of Schellsburg, the eldest of the family, who was with Mrs. Campbell in 
her last moments; Mrs. William Clark, of the same place; and Mr. George 
Clark, of Iowa City, are the only survivors of seven brothers and two 
sisters.  Her funeral will take place from the Second Presbyterian 
church on Tuesday afternoon, February 10.  Services to commence at 2 
o'clock, to be conducted by Rev. S. M. Duffield, assisted by Rev. 
William J. Chichester, former pastor.
