At the residence of her son, Mr. Jesse M. Campbell, in Wolcott, N. Y., June 30, 1900, Clarinda McKee, wife of the late Rev. Alexander Campbell.
She was the daughter of Jabesh and Aseneth Hollister McKee, and was born in Lorraine, Jefferson Co., N. Y., and brought up in the careful, conscientious way of the best New England families. In early womanhood, she was married to Alexander Campbell, and was his life-long help-meet, and blessed companion. God made their home happy with six children, four of whom are still living. George A., of Buffalo; Frances C. - Mrs. D. C. Whitford, - Jesse M. and William P., all of Wolcott.
Eld. Campbell was the founder of DeRuyter Institute, the pastor of Seventh-day Baptist churches for half a century, and one of the most gifted evangelists of our denomination. During the more than sixty-five years of their married life, she was blest with good health and enjoyed most heartily the labors of the home, yet ever ready to accompany her husband in his long journeys to his distant mission fields. Since his death in 1889, she has lived with the children, and peacefully passed away the last Sabbath of June.
The funeral service was held at her daughter's. July 3, and the body laid to rest beside her beloved husband.
