Frank A. Campbell

The end came Friday night for Frank A. Campbell, whose condition 
had been precarious all the week.  He was a native of Michigan, 
aged 33 years.

His loss is another heavy blow dealt by this scourge 
[influenza epidemic].  He was an energetic citizen, a man whose 
work as well as words were for progressive things.  Frank 
Campbell was one of our most valued citizens, as sound in 
principles as he was in splendid physique.

He graduated from the Michigan College of Mines, in which 
institution he was a classmate and roommate of Roy N. Hill.  He 
came to Goldfield, and was there when a contract for work in 
connection with the Nevada-California power enterprise was taken 
by Mr. Hill, who had come here.  The deceased was a nephew of 
F. J. Campbell, at that time one of the leaders of the power 
companies.  His arrival here was in August, 1908.  A year later 
the two young men, whose partnership continued from the first 
contract until Mr. Campbell’s death, began an irrigation 
enterprise in Round Valley.  They and their associates located 
approximately 2000 acres of land forming a belt from the Sherwin 
place southwesterly around the west side of Round Valley.  
Storage work was begun on Pine Creek, and a large amount of work 
done.  The Sherwin property was bought and added to the 
partnership holdings, and the undertaking assumed large and 
promising magnitude, under Mr. Campbell’s personal direction.

The deceased is survived by his wife, who was Miss Verna 
Kitzmiller, of Michigan, and three children, Robert, Elizabeth, 
and Winifred.  Four brothers, Luther, George, Edward and Charles, 
all of whom are known here, and a sister are living.  Luther 
Campbell has been living in Pasadena, the others in Kalamazoo, 
Michigan.

The remains were shipped yesterday to his old home in Michigan.  
Mrs. Campbell and her little family accompanied them, and will 
remain in that State this winter.
