MAN DEAD AT GLADE CREEK
IDENTIFIED AS L. CAMPBELL
Death Is Attributed To Heart Attack After Autopsy
The elderly man who died Tuesday at Glade Creek dam was identified yesterday as Lacy Campbell, 74-year-old Beckleyan.
Death was the result of a heart attack, according to Dr. Ralph Mostoeller, who performed an autopsy yesterday.
Campbll collapsed on the bank about 4:30 p.m., fell into the water and according to Dr. Mostoeller, "died within seconds." Aparently he did not go under.
Members of his family identified his body at the Calfee Funeral home, where it was taken shortly after the tragedy. They had not known that he had gone to the dam, it was learned.
Campbell, six feet five inches, was seen standing on the bank by several witnesses. His body was pulled to shore by Jack Richmond of Beaver and E.S. Hatcher and W.P. Scott, both of Hinton, who plunged into the water after John Bright, West Raleigh Negro, tried unsuccessfully to retrieve it with a pole.
The body will lie in state at the Calfee Funeral Home. Funeral rites will be conducted at the Cafee chapel at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. The Rev. W. E. Harrah will officiate and burial will be made in the Mt. Tabor cemetery.
Members of the family yesterday reported that Campbell apparently lost his cane in or near the water. They asked that it be returned to C. D. Clark, of Beaver.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Cora Campbell, two sons, Bernard and Bayless, both of Beckley; four daughters, Mrs. Glenn Webb, Blue Jay, Mrs. O. C. Young, and Mrs. Keith Peters, both of Baltimore, and Miss Bethel Campbell, Beckley; a sister, Mrs. J. E. Murphy, Lakeland, Fla., and six grandchildren.
