Mr Campbell was united in marriage to Bernice Meusel at Charles City, Iowa on December 16, 1915 and to this union were born Barton, Bob and La Donna Jean, who with the wife deeply mourn his passing. Besides his immediate family he leaves to mourn their loss, his mother, Mrs. Lillie Campbell, and an only uncle, Claude E. Williams of Chesterton, Indiana, many other relatives and a host of friends.
