JOHN K. CAMPBELL, OF GRANITEVILLE, VT.

Scotstown, July 23. -- Relatives and acquaintances in Milan and Scotstown were shocked and grieved to learn of the death of Mr. John K. Campbell, of Graniteville, Vt., who died very suddenly, on the afternoon of June 19, while sitting in his parked car, on Depot Square, in Barre, Vt.

Mr. Campbell had not been enjoying very good health for some time but had gone to work that morning feeling as well as usual. Shortly after lunch, he suffered a weak spell but after a few moments, rallied and drove his car to his doctor's office. After examining him, the doctor advised him to go to the hospital. Mr. Campbell decided that he would prefer entering the Veterans' Hospital, at White River Junction, Vt., and after leaving the doctor's office, he drove his car to Depot Square, parked it and sent word to his son-in-law, Mr. Gayland Sweet, who worked in the express office at the depot, that he would like him to drive him to the Veterans' Hospital. When the son-in-law got to the car, he found that Mr. Campbell had passed away.

He was born on March 22, 1891, in Dell, three miles from Milan, on the farm vacated by Mr. and Mrs. Murdo J. Graham, some three years ago. He was the eldest son of Kenneth N. and Isabell MacDonald Campbell and went to Graniteville in his early teens.

On July 18, 1917, he was united in marriage to Blanche M. Morrison, of Tolsta, who survives him together with eight children, Ethel, Mrs. Gayland Sweet; Verna, Mrs. Meyer Imperiale; Beverly, John Donald, Kenneth Morrison, Isabelle, Lois Anne, and Murdo Allan, all of Graniteville.

Among the other survivors are his aged father, Kenneth N. Campbell, of Durham, Conn.; two brothers, Alexander, of Elmwood, Conn., and Norman, of Windsor, Vt.; four sisters, Anne, Mrs. Webster Chapman, of Durham, Conn.; Dora, Mrs. Leslie Bennett, of Hartford, Conn.; Mabel, Mrs. Carl Norris, of Montpelier, Vt.; and Margaret, Mrs. William Curtis, of Niantic, Conn.; three grandchildren, Gayland and Donald Sweet, and Martha Leslie Impériale; one aunt, and one uncle, Mrs. Effie G. Murray, of Graniteville, Vt., and Mr. Angus N. Murray, of Peterboro, Ont.; and many other relatives.

His cousins in this community are Messrs. Norman, Alex, John and Kenneth MacDonald, and Murdo Murray, of Milan; Mr. Alex MacDonald and Mrs. John N. Mackenzie, of Scotstown.

Mr. Campbell was a veteran of World War I. He was an active and devoted member of Graniteville Presbyterian Church and a member of the Board of Trustees of that church. He had worked in the granite quarries the greater part of his life and was last employed at the Rioux Granite Company.

The funeral service was held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, in the Graniteville Presbyterian Church, which was filled to capacity. The pastor, Rev. Lawrence Thompson, gave comforting messages from the Scriptures, followed by a forceful and impressive address to the living on the text. "After death, what then?" The twenty-third psalm, a favourite of the deceased, was sung by Mrs. Leslie MacLeod.

There was a profusion of beautiful floral tributes, that together with the large assembly of friends and acquaintance at the church, was a testimony of the esteem in which the deceased was held by the residents of the community in which he had lived since he was a young man.

The committal service was held at Wilson Cemetery and was conducted by the pastor. Taps were sounded by Mr. Norman Pratt, of the American Legion, and the flag draping the casket was held and presented to Mrs. Campbell, by Mr. Sidney Newcombe, representing the American Legion, and by Mr. John Smith, representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The bearers were the three cousins of Mr. Campbell, Messrs. R. Alister Murray, Murdock A. Campbell and John N. Mackenzie; and three close friends, Messrs. Donald Morrison, Roderick MacIver and Gordon MacLeod. Among those in attendance from out of town were his father, Mr. Kenneth N. Campbell and his sister, Mrs. W. C. Chapman, of Durham, Conn.; his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Campbell, of Elmwood, Conn.; his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Campbell, and their daughter, Miss Virginia Campbell, of Windsor, Vt.; Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Bennett, brother-in-law and sister, of Montpelier, Vt.; Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Curtis, brother-in-law and sister, of Niantic Conn.; Miss Katherine Morrison, sister-in-law, of Tolsta, Que.; Murdock A. Campbell, of Northfield, Vt., and Mr. and Mrs. John N. Mackenzie, of Scotstown, Que., cousins, Mr. David MacLeod, of Corinth, Vt.; Mrs. Edith Hollis, of New Hampshire; Mrs. Elsie Couture, of White River Junction, Vt.; Mr. and Mrs. Donald MacAskill, of Chelsea, Vt.; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mosher, of Montpelier, Vt.; Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Mosher, of Claremont, N.H.; Mrs. Gertrude Jewitt, of Waterbury; as well as many from the outlying districts.

Mr. Campbell was of a humorous and jovial disposition and of a friendly nature, one who thought a great deal of his relatives and friend. He endeavoured to make an annual visit "back home," to Scotstown, Tolsta, and Milan. Some summers he disappointingly lost out but he had made the trip this year, on Memorial week-end, returning on June 2.

His mother and eldest sister predeceased him.

The heartfelt sympathy of many relatives, friends and acquaintances here is extended to the bereaved family.
