HUGH CAMPBELL ANSWERS CALL
Well Known Citizen Here For Many Years

Hugh Campbell, 75, a resident of Plymouth county and LeMars since the early eighties, died Thursday morning at the residence of Will Henrich, Third avenue SE., where he made his home of late years. Mr. Campbell suffered a stroke some time ago and was enfeebled in health the past year or two.

Born in Ontario, Canada, April 18, 1867, he came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Campbell, to LeMars in 1882. The senior Campbell operated a large farm in Union township with the assistance of his sons for many years before retiring to LeMars. Hugh Campbell, after coming to LeMars, worked at various occupations as long as health permitted.

He was a member of a family of six sons and one daughter.

Surviving him are two brothers, Hector Campbell of Madison, S.D., and Allen Campbell, of Los Angeles.

Hugh Campbell was known to nearly everybody in LeMars and neighbors can testify to many kindly acts he performed.

The funeral will be at the Mauer Funeral Home Monday afternoon, Rev. Glen E. Morrow in charge.
