Miss Allie C. Campbell Died Monday at Home in Collins

Special to the Journal:
Collins, Jan. 19--Funeral services for the late Allie C. Campbell, who passed away Monday evening at about six o'clock at her home in Collins were held in the Collins Church of Christ Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock.

The Rev. Chas. Neel, pastor of the church, was in charge of the service and spoke comforting words to the bereaved relatives. A quartet composed of Mrs K. W. Tomlinson, Mrs. Geo. Holmes, Supt. G. E. Holmes and Tom Huntrods with Mrs. Hugh Fertig at the piano sang, "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" and "It Is Well With My Soul". Mrs. Tomlinson sang, "Some Day I'll Understand" as a solo.

The floral offerings were very lovely and were arranged at the church and the cemetery by Mrs. Walter Holmes and Mrs. Geo. Graham. Interment was on the family lot in Evergreen cemetery at Collins, the pallbearers being Harve Southern, Amos Hanson, J. E. Hale, P. J. Wetrich, Chas. Waltz and Chas. Vasey all of whom were old friends of the family.

The following obituary was read in part at the services:

Miss Allie C. Campbell daughter of Ira and Emily Campbell was born in Summitville, Lee county, Iowa, March 29, 1862, and died at her home in Collins, Iowa, Jan. 16, 1939, at the age of 76 years, 9 months and 18 days. She lived in Lee county a few years, later moving to Jasper County, Iowa, living with her parents until she grew to womanhood.

After finishing high school at Newton, Iowa, she worked at the dressmaking trade at Maxwell, Iowa, and later moved to Collins where she continued her trade for several years.

She united with the Church of Christ at Collins and remained until the time of her death a devoted and active member.

Her health had been poor for several years but she bore her suffering with Christian fortitude and patient resignation. Death came as a great relief after several days illness with bronchial pneumonia.

She leaves to mourn her passing three brothers, Ellsworth, Curt and Frank Campbell all of Collins, one niece, Zela Ozmun of Des Moines, three nephews, Lloyd Campbell of Maxwell, Ralph and Ira Campbell of Collins.
