MARY RAMBO CAMPBELL Former Resident of South Byron Dies in Minneapolis, Minn., Aged 54 South Byron, May 7 - A telegram was received here yesterday afternoon by Elmer CAMPBELL, saying that his mother, Mrs. Frank C. CAMPBELL, died in Minneapolis, Minn., yesterday morning. Mrs. CAMPBELL'S maiden name was May RAMBO. She was born at South Byron and moved to Browns Valley, Minn., about 10 years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John RAMBO and was about 54 years of age. From her home in Browns Valley she had gone to Minneapolis for a surgical operation, which was performed a few days ago. The operation was for a tumor of a cancerous nature. She is survived by her husband, one son and her mother. It is not thought the remains will be brought here for interment, as nothing was said in the telegram about so doing. Mrs. CAMPBELL, when quite a young girl, joined the South Byron M.E. church and was an earnest Christian woman. The announcement of her unexpected death will be a sorrow to her many Byron friends. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department
