Death of Isaiah Campbell

Isaiah Campbell died at the residence of his son, Mr. Dorr [Darwin] Campbell, at 3:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, the 12^th inst., three miles and a half west of Bedford.  His disease was also paralysis of the heart and he was in his 70^th year.  Prior to his death he was enjoying his usual health and on Saturday had eaten a hearty dinner, after which he had gone out to perform some light labor connected with the feeding of the stock on the farm.  He shortly afterwards came into the house complaining of a pain in the chest and sat down on a chair, from which he presently fell, dying almost immediately.  Dr. Weidner was sent for but upon his arrival found that death had taken place some time before.  In his capacity as coroner, Dr. Weidner made an examination of the history of the case and decided that a jury was unnecessary, the disease being manifestly paralysis of the heart.

The deceased leaves a wife [Catherine McLain] and four children surviving him, the children being, Mr. Dorr [Darwin] Campbell, at whose house the death occurred, Mrs. Stitt Brooks [Mary Ann], of Stanberry, Mo., Miss Maggie Campbell and Mr. Sen [Marsenna] Campbell.  Mr. John Campbell, an old and well-known citizen of the county, is a brother of the deceased.

The funeral took place on Monday from the residence of Mr. Dorr [Darwin] Campbell, and was largely attended.  The services were conducted by the Masonic brotherhood of this city, to which Order the deceased belonged.

We had hoped to present a brief biographical sketch covering the leading events in the life of the deceased, but Mr. John Campbell, the only person able to furnish the necessary data, is at Maloy, and although he has been written to, no reply has been received from him up to the time of going to press.  If the information is received the sketch will appear next week.
