Campbell, Margaret - 1895

Mrs. Margaret Campbell, of Leatherwood, widow of the late William Campbell who was killed during the war, died Christmas morning, aged about 63 years.

She leaves surviving her five sons and one daughter, all of whom have grown to the estate of men and woman [sic].  The funeral took place last Thursday from the Leatherwood Presbyterian church of which she had been a member for many years.

The deceased was a sister of Mrs. Miller Beatty and an aunt of Mrs. S. E. Burns, both of Clarion.  Mrs. Burns and her son Geo. H. Burns, attended the funeral.

With sorrow and regret we report the death of Mrs. Margaret Campbell, a highly respected old lady of Leatherwood, on last Wednesday.  Her remains were interred in the Leatherwood Presbyterian Cemetery the following Thursday.

Her loving and affectionate disposition while with us (despite the inclemency of the weather) drew forth a large crowd to view her remains and final resting place.
