Judge Jefferson Davis Campbell, 72, justice of the sixtieth district court here and church and civic leader, and possibly one of the most widely known jurists in this section of the state, died suddenly at his home, 390 Emile street, about 5 o'clock Friday morning. Death was apparently due to a heart attack. Miss Mary Campbell, daughter of the judge, said that she was awakened shortly before 5 o'clock when she heard her father breathing heavily and that she went to his bedside to awaken him. She shook him she said, and then turned on the light, when she saw that his face was flushed, and that his pulse beat was feeble. She said that she summoned the doctor and called Will Campbell, her brother, and that within a few seconds her father gasped once and was dead. Judge Campbell was apparently in his usual health Thursday, when he attended to his duties at the courthouse. Thursday evening he went to the Masonic temple where he was the principle speaker at the monthly birthday dinner. He returned to this home about 10 o'clock. Miss Campbell said that after he arrived home he spent some time reading, and that they both retired about 11 o'clock. Judge Campbell had long figured in judicial affairs of this state. Born in Chapel Hill, Texas, August 4, 1862, during the Civil war, the son of W.H. Campbell, a cabinet maker, and Mary Pleasants Campbell, the judge was named for the president of the Southern Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. He was reared in Chapel Hill, and attended the Old Soldiers university there, which was one of the first Methodist universities in the south. In this university Judge Campbell was close to the things that brought his father to Texas, where he and his mother were married. It was many years before that that W.H. Campbell, the cabinet maker, was summoned to Chapel Hill to attend to some of the exquisite furnishings in the Old Soldiers university. By hand he made the polished stair rails and the other finishings inside the structure. It was while he was there on that mission that he met and married Mary Bascom Pleasants. The Pleasants family were natives of Arkansas, and the father of Mary Bascom Pleasants was one of the first sheriffs in Arkansas, having served there just 100 years ago. Only last summer, Judge Campbell and Miss Mary Campbell took a trip to Arkansas where they looked over some of the old records that the judge's grandfather and Miss Mary's great-grandfather kept while in office. Following completion of his work at the Old Soldiers university Judge Campbell attended Sam Houston Normal college in Huntsville where he completed his early education. He then began in his career as a schoolteacher, instructing for one year each in the schools at Lockhart and Sealy, Texas. During the time he was serving as an instructor he studied law, and in about 1885 he was admitted to the bar and began his first law work in Brenham. Prior to that on May 25, 1887, Judge Campbell and Miss Cornelia Holland were married in Brenham. Mrs. Campbell died here, following a long illness on August 5, 1933. Judge and Mrs. Campbell made their home in Brenham, where the judge engaged in the private practice of law until 1902 when they moved to this city. During his residence in Brenham also, the judge served as a special court judge in Washington county.
For a number of years, Judge Campbell engaged in the private practice of law here. He was appointed judge of the city corporation court, a position he held for some time. He then was elected city attorney of Beaumont, being the last city attorney to serve under the old charter, and being the last to be elected. He served during the Diffenbacher administration here, and following that administration with the change of charter, the position of city attorney became an appointive position. After his work as city attorney, Judge Campbell returned to the position of corporation judge. It was in May, 1925, that Judge Campbell was appointed to the bench in the sixtieth district court to fill the unexpired term of the late Judge E.A. McDowell. This appointment was made by Pat Neff, then governor of Texas. In the July primary of that year Judge Campbell was elected to Sixtieth district court bench, and he was reelected in 1928 and again in 1932. Aside from the prominent position the judge held in the judiciary, he was also widely known for his church work. He organized here in 1906 the Campbell class, of the First Methodist church, and has continuously taught that class, having missed but few Sundays before the class in its now nearly 30 years of existence. Members of the judge's family said Friday morning that hundreds of persons had been members of this class since its organization, and the class now has representatives in practically every city in the United States. At the present the class has a membership of 100, with an average attendance of 75. It is a mixed Sunday school class, and is said to be one of the few classes of its kind in existence, and about the only one that has been organized for such a long period of time. He was also active in other affairs of the church, having been chairman of the board of stewards of the church, for many years. This is one of the highest offices in the church that a layman can hold. He resigned that position about three years ago because of the illness of his wife. Despite his advanced years, Judge Campbell was known for his keen and quick mind. Only recently when he decided that he was not remembering details as accurately as he should he set about to train his mind to retain the most minute information. As his first step he memorized the English kings with their dates from William the Conqueror until the present time. As the second step he memorized the names of all of the United States senators, the states from which they came, and the party they represented.
His hobby was Texas history, and he made an extensive study of that subject at all of his leisure time. He spoke before the Lions club at the club's regular weekly luncheon last week on Texas history subject. His address at the Masonic Temple Thursday night was also on Texas history. Judge Campbell had long been a member of the Masonic Lodge, and was pasts master of the lodge. Members of this family said that he became a member of that organization about 45 years ago. At the time of his death he was a member of the Blue Lodge and of the Casban Grotto. He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, having been affiliated with that organization for about the same number of years, as he had the Masonic order. He was a member of the Lions club, and regularly attended the luncheons there, and he also was a member of the State as well as of the Jefferson County Bar associations.
Early this week Judge Campbell received from Austin permission from the senate and the house of representatives to leave the state this summer. Obtaining this permission is necessary when a judge of the court leaves the state, it was pointed out, and the judge requested this permission in order that he might attend the National Lions Club convention which is to be held in Mexico City in June. Funeral for Judge Campbell will be held at the First Methodist church at 3 p.m. Sunday. The body will lie in state in the Campbell classroom of the church from 2 until 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, at which hour it will be moved into the auditorium for the final services. Rev. J.W. Mills, who was in Louisville, Ky., in attendance at a meeting of the board of church extension was informed of Judge Campbell's death by telegram Friday morning and left immediately for Beaumont. He with Rev. Mark Magers, presiding elder of the Methodist churches of this district, will officiate. Interment under the direction of Pipkin & Brulin will be in Magnolia cemetery. Active pallbearers, close friends of Judge Campbell, and members of the organizations in which he was most interested, will be Will E. Orgain, F.E. Carroll, L.H. Mabry, T.N. Whitehurst, S.W. Foster, R.E. Cowan, Judge Daniel Walker and Murray Thames. A special place will be reserved in the church auditorium for members of the Campbell class during the services. These class members with members of the Lions club, members of the Masonic lodge, members of the Knights of Pythias and all associates of the judge at the courthouse have been named honorary pallbearers.
Out of respect to the late judge, the fifty-eighth district court in session here Friday stopped proceedings, and by agreement with the attorneys in the case on trial recessed until Monday morning. All other district courts are in recess out of respect to the judge, and the ninth court of civil appeals, already in recess because of the death of Judge William Pierson of the state supreme court, continued the recess out of respect to Judge Campbell.
Surviving Judge Campbell are a daughter, Miss Mary Campbell, long a member of the faculty of the Beaumont high school, and now head of the mathematics department of Lamar college, a son, Will H. Campbell, court reporter in fiftieth district court; three grandchildren, Mildred Campbell, 15, Mary Bond Campbell, 10, and his namesake, Jefferson Davis Campbell, 4, all children of Will H. Campbell, a sister, Mrs. Aaron Smyth of Houston; a brother, L.P. Campbell of Lufkin; a sister-in-law, Mrs. W.R. Campbell, of Chapel Hill, wife of the judge's brother, who died about three years ago; and a niece, Miss Grace Stone, instructor in the Dick Dowling junior high school here; a nephew, Leonard R. Stone, manager of the South Texas Land & Lumber company here, and four nieces and two nephews who resided outside this city.
