The following resolutions were adopted by Albert Sidney Johnston Camp, Confederate veterans, on the death of George W. Campbell.
Death, the common enemy, has again invaded our ranks, and another loved comrade has fallen; another Confederate tried and true has answered the last roll call on earth, and is now at rest on the 'eternal camping ground' beyond the river; life's battle ended, the weary soldier sleeps in peace. He hears no more the growling funs nor bugle's thrilling blasts. He sees no more of cruel war, of comrades slain, of devastated homes, of burning towns and wasted lands, for he is dead--he is sleeping the sleep that knows no waking until the angel's bugle shall sound the great reveille to call him back to life.
This time it was our honored comrade, George W. Campbell, whom we all knew, for his life was not hidden--It was open to all. He was a good citizen, peaceable, quiet, and reliable in every sense of the term. We shall miss him sadly in this life in our ranks and councils.
George W. Campbell was born March 4, 1838, in Selma, Dallas county, AL.
He served throughout the civil war, made a gallant Confederate soldier as First Lieutenant, Company E, 10th Confederate Cavalry regiment, with Gen. Joe Wheeler's command. He was paroled May 3, 1865, at Greensboro, NC. He gave up life's battle Dec. 6, 1909, at Paris, TX, at the ripe age of 71 years. 8 months and 2 days--over the alloted time of this life. Rest, soldier, rest in an honorable grave.
Mr. G. W. Campbell, who for more than forty years has been one of Paris most prominent and useful citizens, died at his home in the northwestern part of the city at 6:40 o'clock yesterday evening at the age of 71 years.
The hour for the funeral has not yet been fixed, owing to the inability to hear from his eldest son, Lee Campbell, who lives in Wyoming.

THE PARIS MORNING NEWS, Tuesday, December 7, 1909
Geo. W. Campbell, an old and highly respected citizen of Paris, passed away yesterday evening at 6:40 o'clock at his home on North 14th street after an illness which was contracted several weeks ago.
At the hour of going to press no arrangements had been made for the funeral. The family was waiting to hear from one of the absent children. The hour for the funeral will probably be announced today.
The deceased was born near Taladega, Ala., and was seventy-one years old.
He came to Texas in 1866 and first located in the central portion of the state. A few years later he came to Paris and after getting settled in business he returned to Central Texas and married Miss Maggie Pearson.
His wife and three children, two sons and a daughter, survive him.
The eldest son, Lee J. Campbell, resides in Wyoming. The other son, Hugh L. Campbell, and the only daughter, Miss Georgia F. Campbell, live in this city.
The deceased served throughout the civil war as a gallant Confederate soldier, serving as a lieutenant in Gen. Joe Wheeler's famous cavalry, and at the close of the war he was paroled.
For many years after coming to Paris he was engaged in the brick business, and a part of the time he was engaged in the furniture business.
He was once a member of the Masonic order, and had been an Odd Fellow, but with advancing years he had ceased to be an active member.
He was not a member of any church, but few men ever led a more blameless and consistent life. The deceased served the city at one time as an alderman, and he was always found advocating measures that he believed to be for the best interests of the people. He was not an aspirant, however, for public office. He was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, but everybody who knew him thought a great deal of him and he enjoyed their unbounded confidence.
