T.D. CAMPBELL NO MORE
STRICKEN WITH PNEUMONIA WHILE ON VISIT TO DALLAS.
OVER 78 YEARS OF AGE, NATIVE OF S.C., LONG A RESIDENT OF TEXAS.
DALLAS, JANUARY 28--While on a visit to Dallas friends, T.D. Campbell, father of Governor Campbell, was stricken with a case of pneumonia. He was taken to St. Paul's sanitarium, where, despite the best of medical care, he passed away at 12:40 o'clock this morning.
Just a few minutes prior to his attack on Tuesday evening, as he sat and conversed with friends, Mr. Campbell appeared to be in the best of health and spirits. He had discussed the propositions of attending the evening performance at a local theater, and would have gone, but was taken suddenly ill.
Dr. C.M. Rosser, an intimate friend of the family, who was called, at once had the aged man removed to the sanitarium. His condition became steadily worse, so the governor and other relatives were notified. Dr. Rosser had remained constantly at his bedside. Mitchell Campbell, son of the governor, had come in from Ft. Worth and was in the room. James N. Campbell, brother of the governor, had arrived early in the evening from Longview. He too, was with his father to the last.
Wednesday morning Dr. Rosser telephoned Governor Campbell of the condition of his father. The Governor immediately began to arrange for the journey to Dallas. He was unable to make the morning trains, but departed at night for this city. He arrived early Thursday morning.
The body was taken to a local undertaker's and prepared for shipment to Longview where it was sent on the 11 o'clock eastbound Texas and Pacific train.
T.D. Campbell of Campbell, Tx. and James N. Campbell of Longview, sons, and J.A. Campbell of Jackson, a brother of the sick man, were also notified. James N. Campbell arrived at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night. Mitchell Campbell, the governor's son, was located at Ft. Worth, and also hastened to the bedside of his grandfather.
Thomas Duncan Campbell was born at Happyville, S.C., on May 2, 1832, and was the son of Enos Campbell, a well known South Carolinian. While Thomas Duncan Campbell was quite young the family moved to Walker county, Georgia, and there he was brought up. In 1851 he married Miss Rachael Moore at Ringgold, Ga., and 4 years later moved to Texas, settling at Rusk, Cherokee Co. He lived there until he enlisted in the confederate army and served with distinction in Captain Maple's Company. After the war Thomas Duncan Campbell merchandised at Jacksonville, Cherokee co., and in 1870 moved to Longview, Gregg co., where he engaged in the cotton and mercantile business. In the early 80's he served as sheriff of Gregg co., and about 10 years later moved to Greenville, Hunt co. where he has since continued to reside.
His only surviving child by his first wife is the present Governor of Texas. His first wife died at Jacksonville in May, 1864. His second wife was Miss Cynthia D. Carroll of Mansfield, La., to whom he was married in June, 1865, and from which union 3 children are now living, Judges James N. Campbell of Longview, John E. and Thomas Duncan Campbell of Campbell, Hunt co. Governor Campbell had 2 full brothers and a sister, but all three are now dead.
