Granville Prather Campbell, son of Samuel and Chloe R. Campbell, was born on February 24, 1820. Died July 21, 1901, at 8:40 o'clock p.m., aged 81 years, 4 months 26 days. He had been sick for about one year and confined in the house for the past nine months. During his illness no one can imagine the suffering through which he passed without complaint; but when the supreme moment came for him to pass into his just reward he only said: "I am tired; I want to go to sleep."
He was born in Jennings county within three miles of his present home. He united with the Christian Church about 1852 and lived a consistent Christian life until his death. He was one of the founders of the Queensville Christian Church. In 1845 he married Jane S. Foster, who died September 15, 1875.
In 1876 he married Mrs. Martha Elliott, who died Aug. 19, 1892. Nov. 3, 1897, he married Mrs. Rebecca (Mills) Comer. His beloved wife and adopted daughter, Josie Eastman, still survives him. He also leaves three sisters to mourn his loss-Marinda Jones, aged 83, who lived with him; Jane Blacklidge, aged 73, of Cartersburg, and Emma Shreve, the youngest sister. There were eight children in the family. He had lived on the present farm since 1864, which was only a green woods at that time, but by constant toil, he had brought the farm up to a high standard of cultivation. No children blessed any of his marriages, but he had reared three orphan children. Referring to his church work will say that he was a great worker in the church, having filled all of the important officers. He was also a worker in the Sunday school. One by one the old landmarks are passing away and it is hard for us to imagine the changes in the country and people in the lifetime of a man who was born in 1820 and spent his entire life in the same county, and the influence of such a man must have had on the country and people in such a long lifetime. Rev. Martin, of the Christian Church of North Vernon, preached his funeral service. He was laid to rest by the side of his first wife by his last request. The community has lost a good and useful man.
