Joseph
B. Campbell died at his home in West Salem township, near this
place [Greenville], November 30 [1894]. Mr. Campbell was
known well and favorably to the majority of our readers in this
vicinity where he spent all his life. He was born near this
place July 16, 1820, and ten years afterward moved into town with his
parents. From 1830 until four or five years ago he was a
resident of Greenville. He was one of the early merchants,
being in partnership with A. P. Waugh, and conducting a dry goods store
on the West Side which was then the main part of town. (It is
a coincidence that a grandson of his partner also died last week - -
John H. Waugh.) Afterward he became book keeper for William
Achre. Mr. Campbell served in the war in the 145th
regiment. He married Emeline, a daughter of Jesse Fell, of
which union two children were born: Joseph, of this place,
and Mrs. Hunter Patterson, of Fulton county. Both children
and Mrs. Campbell are living. The interment was at Fredonia,
Saturday.
