Entered into rest in Franklin, West Virginia, on the 21st day of May, 1905, Mrs. Mary V. Campbell, beloved wife of William A. Campbell and daughter of William and Mary McCoy.
Her father was a ruling elder in the Pendleton Presbyterian Church, and for more than thirty years she was a consistent member of the Church of her parents.
Her husband, two children, two sisters and one brother mourn a loss that is irreparable. Death came suddenly, and we believe painlessly.
In the morning she was apparently in good health, other members of the family returning from the Sunday School on that beautiful sabbath morning, typical of the Heavenly rest she was about to enter, found her in a state of unconsciousness from which she never rallied. She only fell asleep on earth to awake in Heaven.
Mrs. Campbell was extremely modest and retiring in her disposition, but all who knew her, knew her only to love her. Her nature was one of great unselfishness and self sacrifice and deeply sympathetic.
The sick and sorrowing and the poor ever found in her a friend indeed. She always took a deep interest in all the work of the church and was an active faithful member of the Pastor's Aid and Missionary Societies.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T.B. Southall, of McDowell Church. His sermon based upon Rev. 14:13, was peculiarly appropriate to the life and character of our departed sister, and comforting in the highest degree to the bleeding hearts of her loved ones.
Let us all so live that works, which will surely follow us, may not condemn, and when the swift and silent messenger comes, may we be ready.
