Lived An Hour Prank Campbell of this place met with an accident at Spencer at about 3:45 this afternoon and as a result died an hour later. It seems that Mr. Campbell went to Spencer this morning with the cement gang on the paving hoping to secure work with the cement gang on the paving of No. 18. The men were working about seven miles west of Spencer, and he remained there with them, through, as near as we can learn, he did not secure work. Late in the afternoon he got on a truck to ride back toward the depot. No. 18 passes about two miles north of Spencer, and he started from where they were laying cement. He fell from the truck upon which he was riding and the two hind wheels ran over his body. He was rushed to the hospital at Spencer and medical aid was summoned. He lived only about an hour and seemingly never gained consciousness. A message was sent to Mrs. Campbell here, but before she left another message came saying that her husband had passed away. E. J. Foy went to Spencer and brought the body here. An inquest was held at Spencer and it was pronounced accidental death. Mr. Campbell is survived by his wife, two daughters and two sons. Miss Fern, the eldest daughter, is employed in the John Deere office at Mason City, the other daughter, Mary Helen, and the two sons, Richard and Raymond are at home. He also has four sisters: Mrs. Frank M. Foley of West Bend, one at Milroy, Minn., one at Jefferson and one in Oklahoma. We are unable at this time to get further information before going to press. Another report comes that he fell while trying to get on the truck, The Tribune extends sincere symathy to the bereaved relatives, especially the wife and children. ------------------------------------- #2 [Spencer Reporter, Thursday, June 4, 1931] EMMETSBURG MAN FATALLY INJURED WED.
