MRS. RUTH CAMPBELL
The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Ruth Campbell, died at her home near Circleville, last Sunday, Sept. 2, of abscess of the liver. Her sickness was quite lingering and painful: she having been confined to her bed about two months previous to her death.
Mrs. Campbell was born in Haywood county, North Carolina, March 11, 1803, and therefore was over seventy-four years old at her death. She was left a widow by the death of her husband about forty-two years ago. In the year 1856, with her family, she emigrated to Kansas, and settled in Nemaha county, on Elk creek. About nine years ago she moved to the home where she ended her days near Circleville. She joined the Methodist Church when quite young, and has ever since, through all the years of her long and somewhat eventful life, lived a consistent member of the church, and a zealous devoted Christian. Rev. Mr. Stanley, of Circleville, speaking of her in our presence, the other day, said: "I have known her for thirty years, in circumstances of adversity and of prosperity, and I have never known a brighter example of Christianity than that she has furnished to the world". She was buried at the Circleville cemetery, on Tuesday. The Rev. John Birkett preached her funeral sermon to a large audience, at the Academy hall, at 11 o'clock.
