Howard Courant
March 16, 1916
Hugh P. Campbell was born in Green County, Kentucky, October 21, 1874, and departed this life February 28, 1916.
Early in life he was converted while in Kentucky where he spent his boyhood days. On December 23, 1896, he was married to Miss Maud E. Burress. To this union were born two children, Bertha A. Campbell and Herbert T. Campbell, the latter died June 19, 1902. A few years later he moved to Montgomery County, Illinois. On June 1, 1908, he was united in marriage to Miss Alma E. Lewis of Howard, Kansas. To this union two sons were born, Ivan Ernest and Roy Darrel.
In 1913, he united with the Nazarene Church of Howard and remained a faithful member. He was a faithful husband, a loving father, a man who walked with God until he was called home to glory. He leaves a dear companion, a daughter, two sons, father, mother, brother, sister and other relatives besides many friends to mourn his untimely death.
His funeral was preached in the M. E. church at Howard by Rev. S. D. Anderson, assisted by Rev. Myers, pastor of the M. E. church at Elk Falls, and the remains were laid to rest in Grace Lawn Cemetery.
He has gone from his dear ones, his children, his wife,
Whom he willingly toiled for, and loved as his life;
Oh God! how mysterious, how strange are thy ways,
To take from us this loved one in the best of his days.
