Robert Campbell, Springfield, who was injured Sunday by a kick in the stomach by a horse, died at noon yesterday.
Campbell failed to rally after the injury. Accompanied by two others, he went for a drive Sunday night. All were in a single buggy and it was late when they started for home. At midnight they arrived a point within a block of the Campbell home. In turning a corner the buggy was upset and the three inmates were plunged forward upon the horse. The animal became frightened and began to rear wildly. The others were in positions which enabled them to get clear of the overturned rig. Campbell was thrown directly in front of the horse's hoofs. While kicking, the horse brought one hoof down squarely on his chest.
When the others had recovered from the shock they went to the assistance of Campbell. He was in great pain and it was with difficulty they conveyed him to his home, where it was found he was seriously injured. A physician who was summoned pronounced the injuries extremely serious. His death was not unexpected.
Campbell was 22 years old. He is the son of the late Alexander D. Campbell and had been employed in the woolen mills. Alexander Campbell was foreman of the Springfield Woolenmills and died suddenly in 1898.
He is survived by his mother and two sisters, Misses Elizabeth Stuart Campbell and Ella Campbell.
He was a bright young man, popular and respected.
