The Paris News Wednesday, September 4, 1918
J.H. Campbell, an old resident and well known citizen of Lamar County, who was in his eighty-ninth year, died at 8:30 o'clock last night at his home at Sylvan. He had been in feeble health for some time and contracted malarial fever about a month ago, which was the immediate cause of his death. He was born in Tennessee in 1830 and moved in 1856 to Lamar County, which had been his home ever since. Nearly all of his life after coming here was spent at Sylvan, where he engaged in farming, and he was one of the most successful farmers in the county. He was well known in business and financial circles and leaves a large estate. He is survived by a son and three daughters, Dr. J.F. Campbell and Mrs. G.W. Smith of Paris, Mrs. R. Sansing of Blossom and Mrs. C.A. Day at Sylvan. He was making his home with the latter and his son-in-law, Mr. Day, on the old home place at the time of his death. He was a good, moral, upright citizen and a man of strong character, for whom everybody who knew him had the highest regard. He was a charter member of the First Baptist Church of Paris. The funeral will be held at 4 o'clock this afternoon at his late residence and will be conducted by Rev. W. B. Kendall of Paris and Rev. S.S. Crain of Blossom. The burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery.

He is listed as Private J.H. Campbell, Company C in Suffering To Silence, 29th Texas Cavalry, CSA Regimental History by Bradford K. Felmy and John C. Grady, Nortex Press, Quanah, Texas, 1975, page 202.
