"The Funeral of R. Campbell in the Pleasant Grove Cemetery.
Deceased came to Oregon among the earliest immigrants, and arrived a motherless and hungry boyRecuperated at the Famous Waldo Home.
Aumsville, Or., Feb. 23, 1904. Editor Statesman: The funeral of R. Campbell took place in the Pleasant Grove cemetery on the 17th of February, when his body was laid to rest beside that of his father, James Campbell, with whom he arrived in Oregon in 1846, a hungry and motherless boy, his mother having been buried on the plains, and on nearing their journeys end, their provisions giving out the family was left in the care of Mr. Bridges, while the father journeyed on to the valley and procured supplies that tickled the appetite till there was a halt at the door of the father of ex-Judge Waldo, around whose table the familys insatiate appetite was gratified to satisfaction by allowancing them meal after meal.
Notwithstanding a congregation had been disappointed the day before on account of high water which prevented the procession leaving Salem, twelve miles distant there were a goodly number present to greet the sorrowing ones and to appreciate the timely spoken and beneficial words of Rev. Goode of Salem.
The services took place, as did Senator Hannas, on the same day at the noon hour, in which is a coincidence worthy of mention in the words Nearer My God to Thee floating in sweet music on the air in each service as a closing tribute to the dead and a reminder to the living, while through the beautiful floral decorations appeared carnations and sweet scented violets in their pure and royal colors on an about each casket, emblems of friendship and esteem for the departed life.
His brother, F. Campbell, and family, who had faithfully administered to the patient sufferer in their home, and sister, Mrs. E.E. McKinney; two nephews, Byron and Ernest Denny, and niece, Jennie Keene, sorrowed with one and the other, while three sisters, Mrs. A. Bridges of Los Angeles, Mrs. J. Denny in feeble health, of Sublimity hills, Mrs. Wooden of Seattle, and remaining children of the deceased sister, Mrs. Keene, were enduring their sorrow in the distance."
