CAMPBELL--In this city on the morning of Sept. 24th, 1876, Goree Campbell, eldest son of Dr. Clark Campbell and Mrs. S. G. Campbell. The deceased was born in Perry county, Alabama, on the 31st of May, 1848, and came to Texas at a very early age. He was at school at Plantersville, in Grimes county, at the commencement of the war, and at the age of 16 years left school and joined Williamson's Cadet Company, Mann's Regiment, C. S. Volunteers. He served until the end of the war, and was one of those who volunteered to hold Galveston pending the negotiations of the Texas State Commissioners for a surrender. He was thus one of the last who bore arms in defense of the South. For one so young, he had acquired the confidence and respect of the community in which he lived in a marked degree. This was due to his native force of character, his integrity and firmness, and to a genial and kindly disposition. He was alike beloved and respected, and a host of warm personal friends attested his worth and mourn his loss. We tender our affectionate sympathy to his family in their great bereavement. W.
