John Campbell's Sister
Of Death At S. R Station j
Plans For Happy Reunion, After 20-Year I
Separation, Shattered by Grim Reap-
er; Mrs. Cook Met by Mayor
Fred R.Goddard
.
Happily confident that the smiling face of her brother,
whom she had not seen .for 20 years, would be at the
S. P. railroad station to greet her last njf?ht, Mrs. Amelia
Cook awaited impatiently the arrival of the train in
Klamath Falls.
But instead of her brother, two sober faced men, May-1
or Fred R. Goddard and Morris Crystal, approached her
and told the sad news of the sudden death of her bro -
ther John Campbell, in a local hospital Thursday after
noon. ,
When Mrs. Cook stalled for Klamath Falls, John
Campbell was in comparatively good health, and no
body realized or predicted an early end. But while on
her trip north, Campbell was fatally stricken in the nata
torium and died a short time afterward in a local hos
pital. Members of the family could not locate her to
inform her of the sad news.
It was 20 years ago when Mrs. Cook and Mr. Campbell
had last visited and each thought it was about time that
they get together once again and discuss old times. But
instead of visiting with her brother, Mrs. Cook will at
tend his funeral and interment in Klamath Falls.
Funeral arrangements are still pending the arrival of
a daughter of Mr. Campbell, Alice, who has been in
southern California. She is expected to return to Klam
ath Falls tomorrow night.
