Organized at Mansfield, Ohio, August 20 to September 7, 1861. Mustered out July 20, 1865.
Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, April 6, 1908, p. 1.
MR. CAMPBELL DEAD The thinning ranks of the Civil War veterans was depleted by one morecomrade Saturday night in the death of Samuel Campbell, a venerable old soldier, at his home on East 2nd Street. Mr. Campbell was 68 years old and death was due to a kidney trouble contracted during his four years in the army. He enlisted with an Ohio company and came to Indiana shortly after the war. For the past 15 years he has lived as a retired farmer in Bloomington. For the past year he has been in poor health, much of the time being spent in a Louisville hospital. A few weeks ago he was granted a pension of $72 per month for total disability-the largest pension given by the government.
Mr. Campbell is a brother of John Campbell and an uncle of County Clerk Joseph Campbell. He leaves a widow whom he married as Miss Mary McKee in Ohio before the war. The increase in pension came too late to be enjoyed by the venerable couple as the widow receives only the $12 granted by the government after the husband's decease. Funeral Tuesday at (illegible) at the residence in charge of Rev. Hanna. Burial services in charge of the G.A. R. post.
