MRS. CAMPBELL CALLED AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
Died Suddenly Saturday Night; Funeral is Tomorrow

Mrs. Margaret Campbell died suddenly Saturday night at her home, 1126 Prince street. Although her health had been failing for some time her death was a decided shock. She had returned from town only a short time before the end came. A hemmorhage of the lungs brought death in a few minutes.

Services will be held at the home on Prince street Tuesday afternoon at 2:30.

Mrs. Campbell was one of the good women of this world whose true worth will perhaps never be known except by those who knew her intimately. Her life story contains many chapters of suffering, of hard work and sacrifices, and it has its chapters of gladness, of satisfaction in a life lived courageously.

She was born in Ireland 61 years ago. Her husband passed away before she came to Grinnell when she was still a young woman, to raise her three children, Mrs. ALice Lemke, David and Mrs. Margaret Norris. When the children were small she worked courageously to provide them with the comforts of life and a good home. No task appeared too great where the welfare of her children was involved and few women have worked harder or more successfully than she.
