The Death of S. A. Campbell
The Hamilton Herald-Record, July 11, 1930
Triumphant over trials, hardships, and suffering Samuel Alexander Campbell fell asleep on July 2, 1930, at 6:45 o'clock in the evening. For four years Mr. Campbell had been a sufferer. At times he would sufficiently recover to be about town and to engage in his work with flower and vegetable gardens. He was a wizard with flowers and plants of all kinds, and in memory of this the floral offerings for his casket and grave were more lovely than the most vivid imagination could have pictured and in mute language were eloquent of the love and appreciation of relatives and friends for this kind, tender man, who was under all circumstances a Christian gentleman.
Sam Campbell was a Mississippian by birth and on next September 13, had he lived, would have celebrated his fiftieth birthday. He was left an orphan by the death of his parents when he was a small boy. As a young man he came to Texas with his sisters. He was happily married to Miss Hattie Fergusson in 1903. Four children were born to them, two of whom survive the mother and the father, Roscoe Campbell and Miss Alice Campbell. His beloved companion died some eighteen years ago, and on February 1, 1914, he was united in marriage with Miss Lou Neal, with whom he lived happily until death claimed him. His widow survives to mourn the passing of one who was ever thoughtful, affectionate, and kind toward his wife and children. He leaves thee sisters and a number of nieces and nephews to suffer in his absence. His sisters are Mrs. Mary Harrison, Fort Worth; Mrs. Eva McAnelly, Putnam, Texas; and Mrs. Ella Warren,, of the state of Tennessee. Those who came to sustain the grief stricken wife and broken children were Mrs. Mary Harrison and her sons and daughter, Roy and Lester Harrison and Mrs. Alma Rigsby; Ocy Fergusson and family; and his mother, Mrs. Fergusson, of Fort Worth; Miss Ruth Mobley of Gorman; Miss Bettie Mobley and Mrs. Mabel Colwell of Putnam. He was converted and united with the Baptist church at the age of nineteen, and ever lived as an humble servant of God and reverenced the Lord in all things.
His body was born to the beautiful Live Oak cemetery in the southern part of the county, and in the tabernacle there a comforting funeral service was held at three o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, July 3. Rev. Ozro Newton, pastor of the Church of Christ in Hamilton, conducting the ceremonies. A long procession of friends followed the body to the last resting place and paid a tribute of respect to this good man who had gone out forever from amongst us.
Sam Campbell had laid down his burdens of an afflicted body and his soul is triumphant in the Lord, and those who loved him and who esteemed him as a friend will await with patience the day of the glad reunion in Heaven above.
The parents of Samuel Alexander "Sam" Campbell died when he was a small child. On his death certificate, Roscoe listed his grandfather as Elexander Campbell, and the maiden name of his paternal grandmother was Mobley.
While Sam's obituary indicated that he was the father of four children, only two--Roscoe and Alice survived him. He was also survived by three sisters--Mrs. Mary Harrison, Mrs. Eva McAnally, and Mrs. Ella Warren.
