Dr. Campbell Passes to
Great Beyond.
Last Friday afternoon at 1
o’clock Dr. G. P. Campbell, who
for several years had been in very
feeble health, died at his home
here frjm paralysis. While all
realized that the hand of the Grim
Reaper was inevi table, in a
measure his hosts of friends were
prepared for the sad anncunce
ment, yet when the sad intelli
gence was known that he had
passed away a wave of keenest
grief swept over the town.
Dr. Campbell was about 74 years
old. He was a native of the coun
ty and spent nearly his entire life
here. He was, until the hand of
disease palsied his life, one of the
most active and influential men of
the county, and as a physician was
known and loved in almost every
home in,the county.
In all the relations of life he was
true, just and honest. He was a
true and loyal Mason and held
many offices in the local Lodges,
being W. M., of the F. & A. M„
and High Priest of the R. A M.,
for along time. Asa churchman,
a physician, a loyal citizen, a fra
ternal brother, as soldier and
Southern patriot, or wherever he
went, he lent a dignity and per
sonal force, and to such men the
world is indebted more than it ev
er knows until they have gone to
receive the reward of the faithful
in the courts above.
He is survived by his wife, three
sons, Rev. Sam H. Cam])bell, of
Troy, Ala. ; Mr. John H. Campbell
of Pine Bluff, Ark. ; and Mr. W.
A. Campbell, of McDonough : three
daughters. Mrs. C. F. Morris, of
Macon ; Mrs. T. J. S. Lewis, and
Miss Nettie Campbell, of this
place.
The funeral was conducted from
bis late residence at 3:30 o’clock
Sunday afternoon, Rev. E. S. At
ltinson officiating. The interment
•was in the citizens’ cemetery here,
a large escort of Masons bearing
the remains to his last resting
