A sad death was reported from the Osage community early Tuesday morning, that of Mrs. John Campbell, who died at 10 o'clock Monday night. Mrs. Campbell had been in ill health for five months, and while laboring under a temporary derangement due to her long suffering she took poison on that fatal morning, suffering intensely until death relieved her at 10 o'clock that night. She realized her awful mistake when too late, and begged those around her to save her. Everything possible was done to counteract the effects of the poison, but to no avail. She leaves a bereaved husband and two little children, to whom the heartfelt sympathy of all our people is extended. The funeral took place at Osage cemetery Wednesday afternoon.
