DAVID CAMPBELL
DEATH OF DAVID CAMPBELL OF MARSHVILLE
[Welland Tribune, 15 July 1898]
The township of Wainfleet and county of Welland has lost one of its best known and most highly respected residents in the death of David Campbell of Marshville, who departed this life yesterday, July 14th, in the 72d year of his age. Mr. Campbell was in his usual health up to May 21, when he caught a severe cold, terminating in lung disease and death.
He had been a resident of Marshville about 30 years, previous to that living in Thorold township. He leaves a widow, daughter of late Andrew Hansel of Thorold township, and two sons and six daughters, viz: Mrs. W.L. Felker of St. Anns, Mrs. J. Stewart of Thorold, Mrs. T. Phelps of Wainfleet, Mrs. M.W. Bridgman of Fort William and Mrs. W.C. Braun and Mrs. E.E. Misener of Wainfleet. The sons are B.A. and Angus of Wainfleet.
Deceased was a Conservative in politics and in religion a member of the Church of England. He held the highest esteem of all who knew him, and by his unvarying courtesy and hospitality enjoyed the warm friendship of a very wide circle, who will deeply regret their loss in his demise.
The funeral will be held on Saturday from his late residence at 2 o’clock p.m. Service at Christ church, Marshville, interment at Morgan’s Point cemetery.
