J. Campbell died at Rogers, Bell county, after a very brief illness. The corpse was brought here for interment and was met at the depot by a large concourse of citizens, who escorted the remains to the new cemetery. Cameron attended en masse at the burial, besides many citizens from Rogers and the Elm creek community. Captain Campbell was an old and highly esteemed citizen of Milam county and had a host of war friends. He took prominent part in political and county matters and was a fearless and outspoken advocate for the enforcement of the laws of the State. Brave, generous, kind and energetic, his loss is sincerely deplored by all who knew him.
