Mrs. George Campbell.

Clara Belle, daughter of Anthony and Anne Bradford, was born May 20, 1864, near Bonaparte, Van Buren Co.

She grew to womanhood in that vicinity and was married to Geo. Campbell Feb. 4, 1890, settling on a farm in Harrisburg township, and moving later to the farm where the late home has been made.

To this union were born three children, Lloyd G., Meryl H., and Grace E., all of whom survive her.

She departed this life June 27, 1912, aged 45 years 1 month and 7 days. Deceased was of a kind and loving disposition, just and benevolent in her deeds, and thus won to herself many friends, who with husband and children, three sisters, one brother and other immediate relatives are left to mourn her early demise.

The entire life has been spent here among us, and she will be sadly missed.
