Young Marine Dies at Hampton Roads of Diptheria (Diphtheria) son of Ben Campbell
Ben Campbell received a telegram from the naval authorities at Hampton Roads, Virginia that his son Charles Campbell had died of diphtheria. The body is on the way to Winterset and the funeral will probably be held Friday.
The young marine is only eighteen years old. He left Winterset over a year ago and worked for a time in Kansas. He enlisted in the marines and was sent to Hampton Roads. He was sent to the hospital on account of blood poison resulting from a wound on the hand and was attacked by diphtheria and died.

The body of Carl H. Campbell arrived here on Friday morning from the naval base at Hampton Roads, W. Va., where death came suddenly from diphtheria on Nov. 28. He had an infection in one hand but his relatives here did not know of any other illness.
The burial services were held in the Winterset cemetery on Friday, conducted by Rev. N. C. Carpenter. An escort, pallbearers and firing squad from Green-Rogers post, American Legion, under Capt. C. W. Aikins, accorded the last military honors to this youth whose life ended in government service.
Carl Campbell was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Campbell at Winterset, and although but a little past his eighteenth birthday had made many friends who regret his death. The bereaved family have the deep sympathy of all in this community.
