Died on Sunday night, April 21, 1878, Mrs. Cynthia Campbell, in her 68th year. It is not known what her ailments were. She had been weakly all her life and lately sick most of her days. She had been a resident of Cass Township for nearly 25 years, having settled here in 1853. In the following year her husband died, and now she goes to join him in that promised heaven in which her hopes were placed. She had been a member of the new school Baptist Church for nearly 50 years and lived a Christian life worthy of emulation. She leaves 8 grown children, all of whom but two live in the vicinity. In her death the church loses an exemplary Christian, the community a revered member of society, and her children a ___fe (?) and wise counselor. Her demise is much mourned in her neighborhood. A large concourse of citizens followed her remains to her last resting place on this earth.
