The passing away of a personage so widely known and so well liked throughout Chenango County as Reed Campbell deserves more than ordinary notice. Mr. Campbell was editor of the Norwich Moring Sun, the only daily newspaper in Chenango County. He was also its founder which paper sprang into existence in 1891 and through his able management became a success and influential news medium. Mr. Campbell's death occurred last week Tuesday--It was the result of several years of failing health and when a career of over a quarter of a century in Norwich and Chenango County was ended, there was a spontaneous and universal expression of sympathy, and a deep manifestation of sorrow. Mr. Campbell was known to almost everyone over the large field where his paper circulated, and he was known to all alike; personally a gentleman, bright, active charitable, broad in mind, pleasing in address, courteous and winning, professionally an able editor, endowed with the particular faculty of knowing what news was and how to get it before his readers in proper form. He possessed literary genius, of no ordinary kind. His pen wrote articles that were contributed to the best periodicals and magazines. Mr. Campbell was an excellent conversationalist which was the result of wide reading and extensive travelling. He was much in the society and confidence of the prominent political leaders of the state, and the regard for Mr. Campbell was not merely local but reached out among men of state prominence, who attested their esteem by the many messages of condolence received by the bereaved family. before entering the active field of newspaper work, Mr. Campbell followed commercial pursuits for years and so well did he represent his house and treat his customers that he commanded a very large salary. Everyone who met Mr. Campbell liked him and became his friend. People of all stations of life who came into contact with him feel that death has caused a keen affliction. Mr. Campbell will continue to live in memory, for he possessed many good qualities which deserve it. And the country press in this section cannot help but feel that it has lost the leader of local journalism. [Bainbridge Republican, Apr. 12, 1899]
A tragic occurrence in connection with the burial of Mr. Campbell, was the sudden illness of his brother, Samuel I. Campbell, of Bar Ridge, L.I. who upon entering his carriage was stricken with apoplexy. He was taken immediately to the Eagle hotel where he expired at 7 o'clock that evening without regaining consciousness. The remains were sent to Bay Ridge Saturday afternoon. The deceased has left a wife and three children. He was forty-seven years of age. [Bainbridge Republican, Apr. 12 1899]
