MARY F CAMPBELL
On Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 11th, Mary F. Campbell passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John O'Donnell at the wonderful age of 78 years, 2 months and 26 days.
Mary Campbell was a native of the state of Vermont, born at Colchester on the banks of Lake Champlain, Nov. 15th, 1841. She was the only daughter of a family of three children and came with her parents and two brothers to Wisconsin in 1852 where they purchased a home near Kewaskum, Washington County. They endured all the trials and hardships of the early pioneers but blessed with that determination that characterized those early settlers, succeeded in clearing a fine tract of land and later converting it into one of the finest farms of Washington County.
She was married to the late Peter Campbell at St. Peter and Paul's church, Barton, in Nov. 1867. Seven children blessed this union, five of them, now residents of this town. They rented their farm to their son, Edward and in the fall of 1906 moved to Stockbridge, purchasing the Paul Nelson farm from John O'Donnell. Mr. Campbell's death occurred the following spring, in March 1907. Mrs. Campbell disposing of her farm to her son, John, moved into the village which place she has since made her home. Mrs. Campbell was a woman of splendid intellect. She was well posted on public affairs and capable of expressing her views on current events always adhering strongly to what she thought was right. She enjoyed a large acquaintance both here and in her old home in Washington County and all who knew her, testify to her strong influence for good morals and higher aims of manhood and womanhood.
Surviving her are her two sons, Edward of Kewaskum, and John of N. E. Stockbridge, five daughters, Mrs. John O'Donnell of this village, Mrs. Frank Finnigan of Eden, Fond du Lac County, Mrs. Aleck O'Donnell and Mrs. Nick Cordy of N. E. Stockbridge and Mrs. Jas. Carney of Harrison.
One of her brothers, the late Andrew Finnegan, was for a number of years county superintendent of Washington County, later meeting his death accidentally while on a cruise to Cape Nome, Alaska. Mrs. Campbell's funeral took place from St. Mary's Church of which she has been an ardent and devout member. The remains were laid to rest in the Campbell lot in St. Mary's cemetery.
