St. Ninian's Cemetery Stone #15 Dan C. Campbell Dimensions: 47” x 20.5” x 2” Orientation: East Inscription: IN MEMORY OF DAN C. CAMPBELL DIED OCT. 18^TH 1896, AGED 49 YEARS. ONE PRECIOUS TO OUR HEARTS IS GONE THE VOICE WE LOVED IS STILLED THE PLACE MADE VACANT IN OUR HOME CAN NEVER BE FILLED. HIS WIFE MARY DIED APR. 29^TH 1961, AGE 96 YEARS. Material: Marble Condition: Lichen covers the back of the stone, and there is a break running diagonally completely through the stone, and it appears to have been cemented back together. Daniel Campbell, son of Charles and Mary Ann, is described in his Casket obituary as a resident of the “old Gulf Road”. He died “after a lingering illness.” There is little information on his life. In 1871, Dan was listed as 26 years old and living with his parents. This creates a discrepancy between his age given in the census and on the tombstone. The family’s assets included a barn, carriage, two cars/wagons/sleds, and a plow and cultivator. He left a widow and three children to mourn his loss.
