Individual Details

Dora May Campbell

(26 Nov 1867 - 2 Dec 1898)

Mrs. I. A. McNeal died yesterday morning of measles and pneumonia after an illness of a few days. The entire family took down with the measles a short time ago and Mrs. McNeal, fearing the children might not have the proper attention, in looking after them caught cold and the disease developed into pneumonia and she lived but a short time. The funeral was held today at one o'clock from the Grand View Church by the M. E. pastor of that place. It is a very sad death. The deceased leaves a husband and four small children. The family has lived here for several years and are well known by all our readers, while the bereaved husband and mother-less children have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
