CAMPBELL, C. M.
C. M. CAMPBELL
After an illness of two weeks with malaria fever and complications of diseases, Mr. C. M. Campbell passed peacefully to his reward at his late Dry Hill home early Friday morning. Up until a few days before his demise there was great hope of his recovery but as he grew worse toward the middle of last week, all his children were summoned and were at his bedside when the end came.
Mr. Campbell was born in Chatam County, North Carolina on Nov. 4, 1848 and came to Tennessee when a boy; later removing to Texas where he resided several years. But, the desire for good old Tennessee was so strong that he moved back some 35 years ago and resided in Lauderdale County since. He was a good farmer, a splendid citizen, kind neighbor and loving husband and father. He married Mildred Saunders 55 years ago and to this union were born ten children, eight of whom survive. They are, Mrs. Julian Sutton, Mrs. E.C. Owen, Will Campbell, Mrs W. C. Deloch, Mrs. Will Hartman, E. C. Campbell, Mrs. W. T. Green and Miss Bruce Campbell. Mr. Campbell had 25 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He was a member of the Church of Christ of Curve and the funeral was held there Saturday by his pastor Dr. L. R. Harding of Henning. Internment was at Gates. Pallbearers were H. M. Suttton, Julian Sutton, Jr., C.W. Sutton, Richard Owen and William Campbell.
The photo was taken about 1925 when the Campbells last visited her sister, GeorgeAnna Moore, in Texas.
