John, once again I am indebted to you for your invaluable research help! Out here in the CO boonies it would take me a lifetime to look up all you have done in the few short months I have been a KCMO-KS list member. It is very much appreciated! Re mistakes in newspapers--and those on primary sources--it is a wonder we ever find out "who was who." And many times we do not. Thanks again. Joyce, Dolores CO rjl@fone.net

Joyce, I did not find an obituary for Ella May but I did find a death notice (see below). I also found her listed in the "DEATH" column. The death notice said she died December 4, 1902 but in the death column it said December 3. (The death column had her age as "2 years" which is obviously wrong! Sure seems like there are a lot of errors on the newspapers!) "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, December 5, 1902 DIED. CAMPBELL -- Mrs. Ella May, aged 23, wife of J. B.
