Calico Rock Progress - Oct 13, 1950 – "Uncle Bob" Campbell Dies at Age of 91
A long and useful life came to an end Friday, October 6, when one of this section's best known citizens, Robert Alexander Campbell, died at his home at Dolph, at the age of 91 years 8 months and 19 days. His death was not unexpected, as he suffered a stoke some two weeks preceding his passing.
Mr Campbell was born at Sereptia, Miss., and came with his parents to this section at the age of two years. The family settled in the Dolph community, the place where Mr Campbell lived at the time of his death. So, he was truly one of the early pioneers of this section, typifying the quality of citizenship that stood for the better things of life and carried on a continuous struggle for up building the churches, the schools and other worthy institutions.
He was married to Susie Perryman October 22, 1876, who preceded him in death by eight years. To this union 4 children were born, 3 surviving. One son, Herbert, departed this life in 1924.
"Uncle Bob" as he was known to every one, was converted at an early age and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Tremble's Campground, where he remained a faithful member until death. He served as ruling elder of this church for more than 60 years.
Surviving him are an aged sister, "Aunt Lizzie" Perryman; one daughter, Miss Emma Campbell of the home; two sons, A. G. Campbell of the home and W. R. Campbell of Mountain Home, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at Tremble Campground Sunday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock, by Rev. J. C. Williamson and Rev. Y. Whitfield of Pineville.
Burial was in Trimble Campground Cemetery.
And that of his wife,
