Contact from the requester reveals that witness Emma S. Campbell should be Emily S. Campbell, the sister of Mary A. Campbell. Robert Campbell, the other witness, was Mary's father. Mary A. Campbell Moddison's father, Robert Campbell, d. 15 Oct 1906 in Sacramento area (Broderick, we believe) and her mother was Martha Irwin Campbell d 28 Jan 1894 in Sacramento area. Her sister Emily S. Campbell died 11 Sept 1909. They are in Sacramento City cemetery so she got the information from there. Also another brother, John A. Campbell d 29 Sept 1931. I will be checking dc and obituary information on these people and report next week.
