Campbell, Charles Spencer

Charles Campbell, a private in the Twenty-sixth Separate company, went to Buffalo with his company, and while there he contracted a heavy old. Since the return of the troops Mr. Campbell has been far from well and on Friday, October 13, he became worse and was taken to the Arnot-Ogden hospital where typhoid fever developed. Not withstanding the best care that could be given him he grew worse, and on Tuesday breathed his last. (Oct 17th). The funeral was held from the family residence on West Washington avenue on Wed, at 3 p.m. the services being conducted by Rev. M. F. DeWitt. The officers and privates of the company, led by Hyatt''s band, marched to the grave to perform the last sad rites for their fellow comrade. he was buried with military honors. A beautiful shield of white blossoms, from the company, was among the floral offerings. Deceased was twenty-eight years of age, and was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Campbell. he was an employee of the Northern Central railroad. He leaves a wife, formerly Miss Olive Clark, a brother, DeWitt S., and one sister, Mrs Stanley Allen, of Willseyville, Tioga county. The family formerly resided in Horseheads. Mr. Campbell was well liked in the organization of which he was a member, as was demonstrated by the large number in attendance at his funeral, not withstanding the fact that the time was so brief that only a portion of the company could be notified. It is the general belief of the Twenty-sixth''s members that Mrs. Campbell is entitled to and will undoubtedly receive a pension from the state, for there is no doubt that the primary cause of her husband''s illness and death was the privation and exposure of the Buffalo campaign. Brother of Alice Campbell Allen, mother of Ruth Allen Ames.
