Obituary of John CAMPBELL, St Clair County, Illinois Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives Copyright 2000 Nancy Giles The obit below is from the Daily Advocate, Belleville, St. Clair county, IL. I have on file a letter from the Belleville News Democrat (which the Advocate became a part of in later years) giving me permission to post any item that would be of help to genealogists. I have been reading the Advocate on microfilm through inter library loan for several years, having started with 1850. The name of the paper and the paper date are shown at the end of each article. Transcribed and submitted by Nancy Giles RETIRED RAILROAD TELEGRAPHER DIES AT SISTER'S HOME John Campbell, 81, Suffers Stroke of Apoplexy; Funeral Sunday John Campbell, 81, retired railroad telegraph operator, died at 8:15 a.m., following a stroke of apoplexy, at the home of his sister, Mrs. John Dahm, Ogle Station, where he lived. Campbell was in the yard and when he entered the house he complained of severe pains in his head. He then suffered the stroke and died within a half hour. Campbell was not under the care of a physician since a year ago, when he complained of high blood pressure. Campbell was born at St. Louis, Jan. 26, 1851, a son of the late Peter and Jane Campbell, nee Donnely. He was never married. Besides his sister, Mrs. Dahm, he is survived by three other sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Henry Goalby, of East St. Louis; Mrs. George Funderburk, of Belleville; Mrs. Frank Donburg, of East St. Louis; Thomas Cook, of Belleville; Benjamin Cook, of St. Louis and William Cook, of Belleville.
