PIONEER DIES, MARCHED AWAY UNDER CUSTER
Charles Campbell Succumbs at His Home in City Here – Funeral Tomorrow
In the death of Charles Campbell, who died at his home, 917 Front street, yesterday morning at five o'clock, there has passed one of the pioneers of North Dakota and the historic western frontier.
The deceased was born on February 3, 1850, in Illinois and came to the Slope country forty years ago.
Charles Campbell, who until a few years ago was employed as a guard at the State Penitentiary, spent his young manhood in the United States army and was one of the men who marched out of old Fort Lincoln in the historic command of General Custer as a member of the Seventh U. S. cavalry, in 1876. The Seventh cavalry was part of the Terry column that left Fort Lincoln for the Yellowstone country Mary 17, 1876. This was one of the three columns sent to round up the hostile Indians under Sitting Bull, who were supposed to be in the Little Big Horn Valley. The other commands were under Colonel Gibbon with 400 men from Fort Ellis, Montana. General Crook with 1,200 men from Fort Fetterman, Wyoming. That was the time when General Custer with his Seventh regiment of cavalry started from the mouth of the Rosebud River in Montana on June 22nd in pursuit of Sitting Bull's Indians. Coming in sight of the Indians on the morning of the 25th, he divided his regiment into three battalions; One of three companies and Indian scouts under Major Reno; one battalion of three companies under Captain Benteen, five companies remaining under the direct command of General Custer. A pack train, escorted by one company under Captain McDougal accompanied Reno's command. Custer's battalion was wiped out. Reno's and Benteen's command together with the pack train, combined after Custer's charge, holding out against the Indians in a siege of two days until relieved by Terry with the Gibbon command, on the 27th of June. The deceased Charles Campbell was a member of Company M. under Captain French. Two of the men detailed to guard the pack train in the famous siege were James Boyle, who died in Bismarck a short time ago, and Charles Campbell who died yesterday.
Funeral services for the deceased will be held at the Webb parlors tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. The pall bearers are: Anton Beer, Jack Lyons, K. Engen, Russ Bolton, Charles White and George Gandy. Rev. G. H. Quigley will conduct the service.
