Campbell, James Martin
Oak Grove Items A very sad accident befell Jim Cambell[sic] Sunday morning. While attending to a young horse it became angry and kicked Mr. Campbell in the abdomen, causing a severe hurt. The doctor was summoned at once, and Sunday evening he was resting easy and up til Monday morning, when he gradually grew worse until about 1:30 when the end came. It was indeed hard to give him up in this unexpected hour, but the good Lord giveth life and He also taketh life, and He willed that Mr. Campbell should join his band of angels above where there is no suffering , sorrow nor parting. Mr. Campbell had lived in and around this section for forty or fifty years, and a better hearted man could be found no where. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and was the best of husbands and fathers. His friends were as numerous as the sands of the seashore and it is with a sad heart they give him up. He leaves a widow and ten children to mourn his death, three having gone to that better home above. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in this sad hour. The funeral will take place this (Tuesday) eve in the Borden cemetery at 3 o’clock.
