CAMPBELL, Hannah BUCHANAN – Mrs. Hannah Campbell Died Today – Mrs. Hannah Buchanan Campbell died at the home of her son, Mr. Will Campbell two miles southwest of Prairie Grove at 8:15 o’clock this morning, March 6th, from infirmities of old age. Mrs. Campbell has been in feeble health for a number of years and had been confined to her bed for the past six weeks. She seemed to suffer either little or no pain, but gradually grew weaker and weaker until like a tired child, she closed her eyes in sleep that knows no waking.

Mrs. Campbell was a daughter of Leander Buchanan, one of the pioneer settlers of Arkansas and was born a short distance from the house where she died February 19, 1834 and with the exception of a few years spent in Texas has always lived in and around Prairie Grove.

During the winter of 1859 she was united in marriage with Mr. James B. Campbell and to this union were born six children, four of whom survive her. Mr. Campbell died 24 years ago this month. Mrs. Campbell’s ancestors were all members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and in this church she was raised and held her membership. She was a tender and loving wife and mother, a considerate friend and neighbor. She was ever ready to help those who needed a mothers counsel or advice or to help nurse the sick wherever she was. Her sweet Christian character was exemplified in her every day life.

Her surviving children are: Mr. Claud Campbell of Seattle, Washington; Mrs. Mollie Bruck of Auburn, Washington and Messrs. John L. and Will Campbell of Prairie Grove.

The funeral service will take place from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church Friday morning at 11 o’clock and the burial will be made in the Prairie Grove Cemetery. [Prairie Grove Herald 3/6/1919]
