James M. Campbell was born In Adams County. Ohio. February 7, 1856, and passed
from this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ralph Williams in Winterset,
Iowa, March 22, 1938, at the age of 80 years, 1 month and 15 days.
When he was about 8 years of age his father passed from this life, about
two years later his mother was called into the great beyond leaving James and
one brother and three sisters to fight life's battles alone. When about 15 years
of age he decided to come to Iowa and be near his brother, who had come to this
state. He worked his way across the country by driving hogs to market for the
farmers along the trail. This proved to be a slow method of travel as they could
go only 8 miles a day. After arriving here, he worked on farms for several
years.
On February 20, 1884, he was united in marriage to Laura May Foy. To this union
nine children were born. One died in Infancy: Stanley died at
the age of 19; Guy passed from this life April 26, 1834, at the age of 46
years and 15 days. About 1894 Mr. and Mrs. Campbell moved to the farm south of
Prescott that they had purchased some years previous. Here they resided until
1918 when they moved into Prescott. His companion of more than 42 years preceded
him in death on March 8, 1926. When Mr. Campbell came to Iowa the country was in
the raw.
Prairie extended for miles in every direction. He helped to break much of the
virgin soil, and has seen the country developed from a few scattering farm
homes, and the old trails into well settled country with paved and graveled
roads to take place of the old trails.
Those who are left to mourn his very sudden passing are: One sister, Mrs. Mary
Caven of the state of Washington; six children, Ray of Prescott. Mrs. Edna
Shoemaker of Winterset, Mrs. Elma Williams of Winterset, Mrs. Lois Hardisty of
Carbon, Mrs. Gladys Cook of Prescott and Roy Campbell of Corning; 13 grand
children and one great grandchild, many other relatives and a large circle of
friends.
Mr. Campbell united with the Methodist church when a small child and
transferred his membership to Prescott in 1887, where he was a member at the
time of his death. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church
in Prescott, by the pastor, R. V. Felt. Interment was in the Prescott cemetery.
