Sudden death visited Nicholas Kampen of Disco on Monday,
August 19, 1946, when his heart was stricken while carrying wood into the kitchen.

Funeral services were conducted on Thursday, August 22 at the home in Disco and the First Lutheran church in North Beaver Creek, with the Rev. Konrad Urberg officiating.

The Kampen boys are members of the Beaver Creek church, and the parents are members of a congregation of deaf-mutes who hold services in Black River Falls from time to time.

Nicholas Nelson Kampen was born March 6, 1866 in Gulbrandsdalen, Norway to Hans Kampen and his wife, Karen Nystuen.

At the age of 4, scarlet fever left him a deaf-mute. In 1873 the family came to America and settled on Rose Hill.

On May 4, 1912 he was united in marriage with Josephine Thea Thompson and they purchased a farm near Disco which was their home until his death. He was trained at the school for the deaf at Delavan, Wisconsin. His occupation was that of a farmer, and the family prospered well.
