• Notes

  ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. The old pioneers of Oregon, those who have by their energy and indomitable perseverance cleared the trackless forests and prepared a place for coming generations in so goodly a county as ours, are fast passing away. It is but a short time since that Father Waller was called from this earth. Father Stratton soon followed, and now it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of another good man. On Thursday night, July 31st, at 11 o’clock, at his residence in Salem, James Campbell died at the advanced age of 66 years. Mr. Campbell was born in Greenville, Kentucky, on the 6th day of April in the year of 1807. From this place at an early age he moved to Boone county, Missouri, where he lived until the year 1846. In that year he started across the plains for Oregon, which State he reached some time in 1847. He settled near Salem, where he remained until the year 1859 when he moved to Puget Sound. After a residence in Puget Sound of seven years he returned to Oregon, settled near Salem where he lived until the time of his death. The funeral will take place to-day at 11 o’clock from the Pleasant Grove Church on Mill creek. “Uncle Jimmy,” as he was affectionately called was respected and beloved by those who knew him best, and all feel that a good man has left us." source: "Another Pioneer Gone."
