Green Hill, Dec. 8—The county was shocked by the sudden death of Mr. William. W. Campbell Tuesday, Dec. 1st, who was found dead in a boiler room of Grace Cotton Mill at Ruth. He had been a watchman in the employ of the mills for some time and it is supposed that heart failure was the cause of his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the home of his son, Mr. Howard Campbell at Green Hill, Rev. E. P. White being in charge of the service.
His body was taken to Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Ind., for interment beside his wife, who preceded him to the grave 30 years ago. Mr. J. H. Campbell and daughter, Helen Campbell, accompanied the remains to Indianapolis. He is survived by two brothers, M. T. Campbell of Roachdale, Ind., and C. A. Campbell, Lebanon, Ind.; two sisters, Mrs. Henry Hardsty, Whitestown, Ind., and Miss Elizabeth Campbell of Green Hill, this county. Surviving are also nine grandchildren and one great grandson, the latter the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Long Jr. of West End, Forest City.
Although a native of Indiana, Mr. Campbell and his son came to Rutherford County about 30 years ago in interest of the gold mining industry and subsequently helped develop the Wolverine mine near Gilkey.
