FRANCIS CAMPBELL ESSEX . --In this place, April 22, 1882 of valvular derangement of the heart and comsumption, aged 66 years, 4 month, 3 days. Deceased was a native of Chillicothe , Ohio . He came to this state forty years ago and engaged in farming. Six years afterward he removed to Oquawka and resumed his trade--carpentering. The old settlers have always regarded Campbell as a peace loving and honost man. His family realize that a kind husband and indulgant father has been called from them. The community say a good citizen has gone from our midst. In the last weeks, dropsy having super--d on the old troubles of body, he sufffered much. Source: Oquawka Spectator 4 May 1882;
