BELOVED WOMAN PASSES AWAY



Mrs. Jane Hess Campbell died at the family home of 17th Avenue Friday evening,

Jan 29, at 9:30 o'clock, after an illness of about three weeks.  Funeral

services were conducted by her pastor, rev. E. M. Bryant, at the Presbyterian

Church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, after wich the remains were laid to

rest in Rose Hill Cemetery beside those of her husband, who died five years ago.



Some three weeks ago Mrs. Campbell suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which

she never rallied.



At the time of her death Mrs. Campbell was in her 73rd year and she is survived

by three sons, L. R. (Levi Ross), J. E. (John Elbert), Jr. and Z. J. (Zachariah

Josephus) Campbell; three daughters, Mrs. Herman Lannon (Marion Lucinda), Mrs.

R. I. Long (Gabrilla Hess) of Slidell, La., Mrs. Lillian Johnson (Lillian

Janette) and four sisters, Mrs. M. M. Johnson of Austin, Texas, Mrs. Lyde Thomas

of Milan, and Mrs. W. M.(Willeta Hess) Dunlap and Mrs. Sue (Susan Hess) Dunlap

of this city; one brother Prof. W. S. Hess (Walter Scott) of Knoxville, and a

number of grandchildren. 



Mrs. Campbell was a member of the Presbyterian Church.  She was Christian woman

who went out of her way to administer to others.  Her life is an example of the

highest type of womanhood.



Mrs. Campbell was a member of the Hess family, one of the old and generally

respected and beloved families of Gibson County.  Maj. Hess, the father of Mrs.

Campbell was prominent in the affairs of the county in the earlier days of its

history and up until his death.  Maj. Hess lived a few miles northeast of

Humboldt in the old Shiloh neighborhood, and Mrs. Campbell was married in the

old home to her late husband, John E. Campbell, who had come down from East

Tennessee a few years before.



In the death of Mrs. Campbell, Humboldt loses one of its nobles women--one who

belonged to the old school and who stood as a kind of connecting link with the

cultured past. 



A number of beautiful floral designs were sent by loving friends and relatives

to cover the grave of this beloved woman who will be greatly missed.
