CAMPBELL died Dec 4 1928 aged 76 years lacking 27 days would of bin the first day of January For the Nashville Christian Advocate. The subject of this melancholy notice, was the wife of Daniel ACKERMAN, and daughter of Thomas and Mary APPLING, died, of Pulmonary Consumption, on the 30th day of May, 1850, at her father’s residence in Simpson County, KY.; aged about 25 years. Sister ACKERMAN embraced religion and joined the Methodist E. Church in her 13th year. Her piety was not that impulsive kind which only manifests itself occasionally, but was a deep and constant stream. She was mild and sweet in her disposition, affable to her manners, kind and affectionate in her attachments, and dutiful to her husband and parents, which caused her to be esteemed and admired by those that knew her. The writer visited her often in her last confinement, which lasted about four months and always found her calm and resigned: for the last three months of her life she was not heard to speak above a loud whisper, and at times her sufferings were great; yet never a complaint or murmur was heard to fall from her lips. About one week before her death, she threw her arms around her father’s neck and said, you have one daughter in heaven and I shall soon be there too. Just before her exit she called her friends around her bed, bid them all farewell, saying, she was going home to heaven. Weep not for me. When her speech was almost entirely gone, seeming to say for the last time, all is well, and well forever, she raised her dying hands towards heaven, and clapped them again and again. She is gone, but thanks be to God, we believe she’s gone to a home in heaven, to bloom in a more congenial clime than this. May God bless her companion, who was only permitted to live with her 14 months and 1 day, together with her father, mother, brothers, and sisters, and save them all in heaven. Amen. S.L. MURREL Franklin cir., Lou. Couf, June 22d, 1850 Daniel ACKERMAN was born in Maryland in 1771; embraced religion in early life and joined the M.E. Church soon after its organization. He emigrated to Kentucky more than forty years ago, and settled in Logan County, where he remained during his long and eventful life. He brought up a large and reputable family, and lived to see his descendants to the third generation. His piety was uniform and without ostentation. Attentive to the duties of Christianity, public and private, his life was a practical comment upon the religion he professed. Some twelve or fourteen years ago he was attacked by a paralytic affection, which disabled him for the rest of his life. His speech failed him eleven days before his departure but his mind retained its vigor to the last, and by unmistakable signs gave evidence that all was well. A good and useful man, full of days--- having attained to the age of nearly 87 years---thus passed to his reward on the 3d of October 1857. Just two weeks after his daughter, Sarah J. ACKERMAN, long a subject of affliction, was also called away. She too had been for many years a member of the Methodist Church, and an humble follower of Christ. She died at the age of 56 years. A.C. DEWITT GRAVES-CAMPBELL Next Friday, at half past past five o’clock p.m., in the M.E. Church, Miss Lida D., daughter of Rev. D.S. CAMPBELL, of this city, and Mr. Palmer GRAVES, cashier of a bank in Hopkinsville, will be united in marriage. Miss Lida is one of Russellville’s loveliest daughters and her fortunate captor has indeed taken a prize. The sweet Christian influence which has made her so lovely will bless her own home. We hope no shadows will thicken or sorrows deepen along their flowery way, but sunshine, song and peace will be found till life on earth has ended. A Good Man Gone Charles Gilbert CAMPBELL was born in Russellville Dec 24th 1815. He was the son of Allen and Elizabeth Gilbert CAMPBELL and was named for his grandfather, Charles GILBERT, who moved from Virginia to Kentucky nearly a centuary [sic] ago. His father moved from Montgomery County, Md. to Russellville about the beginning of the century, was a millwright and did the carpenters work on the Court House in Russellville. He was for many years the jailor of Logan County under the old Constitution, and it was in the old stone jail that Charles was born. In 1833, his father moved to a point near to South Union. In early life he was converted and joined the Methodist Church and lived a consistent member until death, which occurred at his home in McCracken County on Friday last Feb 6th, 1891. He was married to Susan C. ACKERMAN April 23rd, 1838, who now mourns his death. He had disease of the heart, complicated by Dropsy, Kidney and other troubles ending in blood poison. His end was peaceful and quiet; without a groan or murmur he fell asleep. He was the last one of a large family. Rev. D.S. CAMPBELL, one of the five children left to mourn the departed, resides in this city and is presiding elder of the Princeton District. A Special Thanks to Charles F. Mills
