After a lingering illness of more than two years, this venerable and Christian woman expired at the residence of ner niece, Mrs. Lewis Abbott, in Atlanta, at nine o'clock on the morning of the seventh instant, in the seventy-fourth year of her age. /P/ Her ancestors came from Scotland and settled in the colony of North Carolina, before the struggle for independence. Her Grandfather, Col. Campbell, espoused the cause of the colonies, and has left his name as a brave and daring officer in the history of the seven years' war as leading his columns in many battles, on the grounds of the Old Dominion down to the single line. He was severely wounded at the battle of Cowpens. /P/ The Campbells removed to Georgia about the year 1806, and settled in Wilkes and other neighboring counties. The deceased was a sister of the late Hons. Duncan G. and John W. Campbell, whose names are worthily enrolled on the scroll of Georgia's distinguished sons. As early as 1826 she, with a large number of the family, settled in this place. In 1837, under the ministrations of that eminently pious and godly man, the Rev. Joseph Stiles, she made a profession of religion, and became a member of the Presbyterian Church. Her long life was one of self-sacrifice, devoted acts of charity and the education of orphan children left to her charge. Three of them have passed from earth, and the remaining one was her solace and comfort during her expiring years. She was a woman of extraordinary intelligence and mental culture. She bore her protracted sickness with Christian resignation and fortitude. . . /P/ Her remains were brought by the Atlanta train to Macon yesterday morning, and interred where three of her sisters sleep in the quiet shades of Rose Hill Cemetery.
