"The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Monday, August 23, 1897 Henry H. CAMPBELL, an employee of the Santa Fe road for twenty-eight years, a resident of Kansas City since 1872, died yesterday at his home, 1424 Cherry street. Mr. CAMPBELL came of a railroad family. All his wife's relatives came of a railroad family. All his wife's relatives and nearly all his own relatives and friends are railroad people. He began business life when 12 years old as newsboy on the Santa Fe road, and for many years he was known in almost every state in the East as far north as Canada, and throughout the entire West as one of the oldest and most popular railroad men in the United States. What is most remarkable in his career is that during the entire twenty-eighty years of his service he was never in a wreck and he never had an accident on the road. Mr. CAMPBELL was born in Weston, Mo., in 1864. He was the son of a lieutenant in the United States army who was stationed at Fort Riley. From a newsboy on the train he became a brakeman, then a baggageman, then a freight train conductor in 1885. For several years his run was between Kansas City and Dodge City, Kas., on the California limited express. He was married two years ago to Miss Lizzie WILLIAMS of Detroit, Mich., who survives him. They have no children. The body will be shipped to Topeka tomorrow afternoon at 2:20 o'clock, where funeral services will be held by the Knights Templare, of whom Mr. CAMPBELL was a member. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
