The funeral services were held from the M. E. church, Monday at 2 o'clock, Rev. Crews delivering the sermon. The remains were laid at rest in the Willow Brook Cemetery.

On March 31, 1843, she was married to J C Campbell in Indiana. The same year she united with the Methodist church in Switzerland County, Indiana. In 1857 they moved near Dewey and for a good many years she was a member of the Bethel church and when she came to Fisher to live with her daughter, Mrs. Wm Waggoner, she brought her church membership here. Eight children were born to them - Howard and Eva deceased; Oliver living in Lee county, Illinois, James and Artemus, Omaha, Nebraska; Mary A Strouse, Bureau county, Illinois; John E, Rantoul; Elizabeth Waggoner, Fisher.
