Oscar W. Campbell - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Madison Journal February 7, 1930

OSCAR W. CAMPBELL CALLED BY DEATH

Funeral services for Major Oscar W. Campbell were held in Natchez, Miss., Monday afternoon with many 
friends from Louisiana hi attendance.

Mr. Campbell who was sixty-four years old died here shortly after midnight last Sunday following a 
paralytic stroke.

For many years Major Campbell has been Secretary of the Fifth Louisiana Levee District and had always 
taken a very active part during time of flood. He was a valued member of the levee district and his 
absence will be keenly felt.

Prior to his residence in Tallulah, where he boasted a very wide circle of friends, Mr. Campbell lived 
at Vidalia, La,, in Concordia Parish, and held the high esteem and friendship of many citizens of that 
parish who regret to hear of his passing.

He is survived by his widow and a brother, Sheriff Eugene Campbell of Vidalia.

Funeral services were held at two-thirty o'clock with Rev. Jos. Kuehnle, Rector of Trinity Church, 
officiating.

A mountain of beautiful flowers testified to the high esteem in which Major Campbell was held throughout 
this section.
