Arthur Charles Campbell

Obituary taken from The Edna Sun April 3, 1931:

Arthur Charles Campbell, son of the late Dr. Charles W. Campbell, for many years a practicing physician at old Kingston, and at Edna, died at the home of his father-in-law in Coffeyville at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. He was born at Old Kingston, one and a half miles south of Edna, on August 11, 1879 and died April 20, 1931, aged 51 years, 8 months and 9 days. While yet in his teens he developed a talent for music and for twenty years was a band leader and traveled with various musical organizations. "Toot" as he was known to many of our readers, had been employed for the past several years as a drug clerk in Welch, Okla. The store is owned byhis brother-in-law, Jas. H. VanAnsdal.

He had been twice married and two sons were born to the first union. They are Jacob Campbell of Cordell, Okla. and Richard Campbell of San Antonio, Tex. He leaves an adopted daughter, Betty Lou Campbell at the home in Coffevyille. The wife, Mrs. Grace Campbell, has resided in Coffeyville for some time in order to care for her aged parents, Mr. & Mrs. Webster of E. 9th Street.

Mr. Campbell served in the World war from Sept. 1917 to Feb. 1919. Although not in the best of health for a number of years, his death was ascribed to acute dilation of the heart with pneumonia as contributory.

The funeral was held at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon in the Presbyterian church at Chetopa. Rev. Parks of Welch preached the funeral discourse. Burial beside the father, mother and brother, frank in the Oak Hill cemetery.
