    3. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 109, No 5, p 158, Aug. 4, 1930. Harriet N. Campbell, daughter of Rebecca Ayars (Campbell) and Dennis Campbell, was born at Carlton, N. J., October 8, 1848. She made her home in the East until eighteen years of age when she moved to Walworth, Wis. She passed from this life at her home in Chicago, Ill., the morning of July 21, 1930, being 81 years, 9 months, and 13 days of age. On January 6, 1870, she was married to Ira Allen Butterfield, who preceded her in death just three years ago this month. She was a member of the Chicago Seventh Day Baptist Church during her forty-four years' residence in this city. She was a regular attendant upon its services until failing health necessitated her absence from services. Her Christian spirit was manifested in devoted service to her family and friends. No one could doubt her religious convictions. She was sure in her faith, and loyal to the principles of her denomination, a copy of its faith and practice being kept in her Bible. That her life was enriched through prayer was attested by the many clippings she kept in her Bible, all devoted to this subject. It was her daily practice to read God's Word as long as her strength held out, and then it was read to her. Even when helplessness overtook her she continued to give thanks for the blessings granted her. Truly she finished her course faithfully. She leaves to mourn her passing and to bless her memory, five children: Ralph W. and Mrs. Arlie Gates of Walworth, Wis.; Mrs. Edith Schwartz, Ethel M., and Mrs. Mary Davis of Chicago,; eight grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Farewell services were had at the home in Chicago, Ill., the evening of July 22, conducted by the pastor of her church, Rev. August E. Johansen, who had often visited her during her decline. Interment was made in the Walworth, Wis., cemetery the morning of July 23, where Rev. E. Adelbert Witter had charge of a brief service. E. A. W.
