    3. Rock Fall Kills Eldersville Miner Owen B. CAMPBELL, aged 49 years, of Eldersville, was almost instantly killed Saturday while working in the mine at Shinntown. He was crushed under a rock fall and was dead when his body was taken out. It required the united efforts of eight men to raise the rock so that his body could be released.

He had only recently recovered, having returned to work on Friday, the fatal accident happening on his second day of work. He was a son of Bartley and Mary HENDRICKS CAMPBELL, both members of old families of the Hollidays Cove section, where he spent his early life. He was a member of the Christian church of New Cumberland, W. Va. He leaves his wife, who was Miss Ad LYON, of Hookstown, and the following children: Virginia, John, Edna, Laura Jane and Mary Lou CAMPBELL. He also leaves four brothers, Earl CAMPBELL of New Cumberland, W. Va.; Graham CAMPBELL, of Crafton; Carl CAMPBELL, of Smithfield, and Harry CAMPBELL< of Pasadena, Calif., and a sister, Mrs. Catherine KNOX, of Cadiz Junction, Ohio. Funeral services were held in the late home Monday afternoon at one o'clock, conducted by the Rev. R. L. CARAWAY, pastor of the Methodist Protestant church. Interment was in the New Cumberland cemetery.
