from the Kansas City (Kansas) Weekly Press, 2 February 1900:
"Mrs. Nancy Campbell was born in Ray county, Mo., near the present town of Excelsior Springs, November 27th, 1832, and died at her home 515 Cheyenne avenue January 25th. She was married to James L. Cambell February 6th 1851. Twelve children were the result of this union, but only five of them, two sons and three daughters, survive her. She had been a resident of Kansas City for twenty-nine years.
"At her birthday a year ago, she had a family reunion at her home, saying she did not expect to see another, and was not in good health. During her last sickness, she was greatly comforted by the consolation of her faith, and sang hymns when her strength permitted. She was perfectly conscious to the last, and knew she was dying, said 'Farewell, vain world, I'm going home', and breathed her last.
"F. L. Streeter, who had been her pastor in two churches over the last 17 years, conducted her funeral services, with the Armourdale Baptist church choir singing 'Nearer My God to Thee', 'There'll be no Parting There', and "Shall We Gather at the River". Her remains were laid to rest in Oak Grove Cemetery."
