Julia Furman Campbell " . . . Mrs. [Julia Furman] Campbell, widow of the late Dugald Campbell, well known to most of the old settlers of the county, was buried Tuesday, in the cemetery near Bangor - eight miles south from here. Mrs. Campbell arrived home on Friday last from Winona, where she had been staying with her daughter, Mrs. A. K. P. Crockett, for several weeks, and visited with her son Hubert until quite late that night and on Saturday morning rose early and built a fire before Hubert was up. She said she put some papers in the stove and soon after smelled something burning but supposed it was the papers, until the blaze from her clothing was around her face, and then she called to Hubert and ran out doors, probably thinking that by in doing he would get to her assistance sooner, as the stairs from the chamber where he slept came down outside of the house, but before he could get to her assistance and extinguish the fire she was so badly burned that she died on Saturday night at about 11 o'clock. As soon as Hubert got the fire out and got her into bed, he came for help as fast as the horse could come. I happened to be out of doors at that time and he called, "Mother has nearly burned herself up; get the folks there as soon as you can." In three minutes time Mrs. Nye was equipped with wraps, oil, etc., and in the street waiting for the team and Mrs. McLeod. The team was gotten ready as soon as three of us could do it, and Merritt Halgren drove them to the house and then went for the doctor, who came at once. Everything that skill and kindness could do was done to relieve her. Although she said that she felt no effects of the fire internally, yet after a while they found blisters on her tongue and her throat was swollen badly, and it is probable that it was more than the external burns which caused her death so suddenly. A telegram was sent to her daughter at Winona, who received it three hours before her husband - who came up with Mrs. Campbell got home. Mrs. Nye received a letter from Mr. Crockett Tuesday saying that he had found his wife entirely prostrated and not be able to come up here at present."
