W. F. CAMPBELL DIED AT HIS HOME FRIDAY NIGHT
William F. Campbell passed away about 10 o'clock Friday
night at his home about two miles south of Blooming Grove.
The deceased lacked a few days of being 84 years old and had
been in feeble health several months.
Mr. Campbell was a native of Tennessee. Came to Texas and
Navarro county 61 years ago, was married about 60 years ago,
to Miss Dora Howard, and he is survived by his aged wife and
the following children: Edgar Campbell, Mrs. Fred Cumpston,
Mrs. Elmos Cagle, Jim, Tom and Mike Campbell, and Mrs. Jno.
Cleveland. Mike is at Kerens and Mrs. Cleveland at
Hillsboro. In addition to these he is survived by a sister,
Mrs. Lewis, who is 90-odd years old.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church and a Mason of
long standing.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church and Rev. Ben
Tyree of Dawson conducted the funeral services assisted by
the local pastors. Burial took place at Rose Hil Cemetery
W. F. Campbell was one of this community's best citizens. He
was a man with original ideas, had his own standards by
which men are measured. He was tender hearted, yet no one
could work on his emotions and turn him from a conviction
arrived at after due consideration. He was one of the
original believers in political reforms and his name has
long been associated with movements to put liquor out of
business and out of existence. He was a great reader and
student and talked fluently upon subjects of national
importance. Mr. Campbell believed in the Golden Rule: "Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you." He was a
farmer and stock raiser, owned a good farm, was not a
"policy" man for gain or for popularity, but was just what
he was because he believed that way. And he never took sides
on issues to be on the popular side, but when he lined up he
got on the side he believed to be the right side.
In the passing of this good man the community has lost one
of its very best citizens, as clean as an inspired thought
and as straight as Bible doctrine.

RUFUS C.
LOYD SUCCOMB AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
Rufus C. Loyd passed away about 6 o'clock Monday morning
following a long siege of poor health. The end came as of a
babe going away into peaceful dreams-scarcely a movement of
the muscles, not a struggle. It was known for nearly a week
that the patient was giving down and every day found him
losing strength, but with all these evidences of approaching
end the news of his death came as a distinct shock to the
town, and friends about their business duties paused for a
moment as their grief over the loss of a dear friend filled
their souls.
Some eight years ago Rusus C. Loyd's health showed signs of
fatigue. experts pronounced him a victim of weak
kidneys. As the malady developed it became necessary to
remove a kidney, then a foot and part of the leg had to be
removed. He remained optimistic, courageous always with his
eyes turned toward a day somewhere in the future when his
health might come back to him. Next came an operation
through the left side to drain the lone kidney functioning
as two. For these many years, covering a period dating back
to 1924, he had a checkered career-some days he was up,
basking in the sunshine and laughing and joking with
friends; presently he would be back in bed observing rigid
rules as to
nourishment; and then this routine broken abruptly would
find him n his way to the hospital in Dallas with the hopes
of some sort of turn giving to him a new lease on life.
Truly his has been a checkered career, but through it all
faith buoyed him up. He managed to see the silver lining
behind every ominous cloud and gave ear to the singing of
birds around his vineclad windows. And, too, he never became
lonesome nor was he ever cut off from world activities - the
radio maintained an unbroken hook-up.
During the last few years the doctors permitted him to eat
anything and although most of the time confined to his room,
he enjoyed at meal time any and all kinds of foods. This
change in eating gave him strength. But the kidney trouble
never relinquished its tenacious grip upon his body and the
build-up he claimed proved temporary. Coming from the J. H.
Jones burial last November he went to bed. He has been an
avowed invalid ever since. However, he never lost interest
in public affairs, conversed fluently touching public
issues, and against his physical approval came to the polls
on July 22, this year, and voted (not against anybody) for
his friends.
In the passing of Rufus C. Loyd the community loses a
public-spirited man, the church and society lose one firmly
grounded in principles first set up by Jesus Christ when he
rebuked the sellers in the Temple.
Mr. Loyd was a Mason, a member of the Missionary Baptist
church, his membership being with the Central Baptist. He
was a deacon in the church; has served as a member of the
city council of Blooming Grove; has been identified with
different business enterprises here. In all these places of
responsibility he proved himself a wise councelor, shrewd
business man and at all times and under all circumstances
willing that every man have his rights.
Mr. Loyd was a big-yearted, sympathetic, always picking an
opportunity to give the other fellow the best end of the
deal. He was genial, loyal to a friend, patient toward
weaknesses with which others might be
affected. He had the heart of a lion as to matters of
conviction touching lofty standards of living and the hand
of a woman as to matters of forgiveness. "Rufe", as most of
us called him, towered among those
with whom he associated as a giant oak of the forest towers
above the underbrush. To know Rufe Loyd is to recognize in
him the superb qualities of mind and heart found only in
natures large of purpose and big in achievement.
Mr. Loyd's life was extended not alone because of a strong
constitution, but because of the unswerving fidelity of a
dear and sacrificial wife. Mrs. Loyd was Miss Minnie Jones
before marriage and during the long illness of her husband
she gave up everything for his comfort.
Mr. Loyd was born in Italy, in Ellis county, Nov. 11, 1876.
He came to Blooming Grove as a young man in the bloom of
life. To miss Minnie Jones, (who survives) he was married
Dec. 18, 1907. Was converted and joined the Baptist church
in June, 1912.
The funeral services were held at the Central Baptist church
Tuesday. The church was filled to overflowing with friends,
and the services were peculiarily fitting. The choir of
selected voices sang for the opening hymn, "Sweet Bye and
Bye." Rev. E. L. Jones of the First Baptist church read a
familiar scripture, led in prayer, and the pastor, Rev.
Forrest B. Williams, made a beautiful talk. The choir sand
"God Be With You Till We Meet Again:, and a very sweet duet,
"God's Tomorrow", by Mrs. D. W. George and Mrs. R. S. High
was listened to attentively by the vast audience.
There were many beautiful flowers, all attesting as only
flowers can the esteem held for him by friends in all walks
of life. Following the services at the church the remains
wer followed to Rose Hill cemetery.
The Masons took charge and the body was laid away and the
new mound was wrapped with flowers.
Frank Loyd, a brother, was here from Shreveport, La.,
Everett Loyd, another brother, was present from San Antonio;
a sister, Mrs. M. G. Young, from Dallas, was present; Will
Jones, Mrs. Loyd's brother, came from Breckenridge, and
there were friends present from different towns in Ellis,
Limestone and other counties.
Mr. Loyd had a wide acquaintance. He lived in the hearts of
everyone who knew him.
