Hugh Wheatley Campbell, 47, died at the Emergency hospital Monday night at 7:40, death being due to internal hemorrhages caused by the terrific crash of the automobile in which he and Pearl Teter, 55, of North Conde street were riding, with one driven by Frank Kolde, 26, of Anderson, Saturday evening.

From the time he was taken to the hospital his condition had been critical but at times it appeared that he might survive the injuries and hopes were raised, but shortly after 6:00 Monday evening he started losing and his pulse became fainter and fainter.

The body was removed to the Young funeral home for preparation and to await funeral arrangements.

State Police announced Monday evening that in the event of the death of Hugh Campbell, Teter, who was driving the car, would be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Ter was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated, Monday evening and held on default of bond in the sum of $10,000, the bond having been fixed prior to the death of Hugh Campbell. Frank Kolde, driver of the Anderson car, who suffered a fractured vertebrae, is doing nicely, his condition not being serious.

Hugh Wheatley Campbell was born in Tipton, September 1 1891, and was the old child of Oliver P., and Susannah (Wheatley) Campbell, both deceased. His mother died at the family home on North Independence street a number of years ago and the father died several months ago at the Beechwood hospital, after a lengthy illness.

Hugh Campbell was educated in the Tipton schools and after graduation from the Tipton schools attended Indiana University. For several years he was associated with his father in the poultry business in Tipton and later went to New York City where he was employed in the city administration. While employed in New York he was united in marriage to Miss Betty Black, that city, and a former secretary of Madame Fiske, famous stage star. The widow survives.

Three weeks ago the deceased and his wife drove through from New York to assist in settling the estate of the father.

Hugh W. Campbell enlisted in the world war December 6, 1917 and was a sergeant in the Quartermaster Corps at Camp Taylor. He was a man who had many friends here to mourn his untimely death

Surviving with the widow and step-mother, are a number of cousins and an uncle T.D. Campbell, the latter residing in Kempton.

Funeral services will be held at the Young funeral home on West Jefferson street Wednesday morning. The Rev. True S. Haddock of the Kemp Memorial Methodist church will officiate. Members of the Charles Sturdevant Post No. 46 will serve as casket bearers, as the deceased was a World War veteran. Burial will be in Fairview cemetery.
