Old River Pilot Passes Away
"Uncle Davey" Campbell, the last
of the old river pilots living in this vi
cinity, died at his humble homo in
South Sioux City last Saturday, July
9th, after an illness lasting nearly a
year, daring which time he wa almost
helpless. He was io his 85th year.
Mrs Minnie Allan, an aged negress,
had taken the most devoted care of
Lira in the long, weary months of his
sickness. Dnring all the time she had
battled not alone with the ravages of
the disease, but against poverty and
hardship. Since his eoming to Sioux
City, "Uncle Davey" had been practic
ally forgotten by his children, who as
children of a former marriage objeoted
to his asRociaton with the colored wo
man and who had given little help.
William E Campbell, a aon, visited
here last winter and lei t a little money.
With this and the lit Liu which she had
been able to earn Mrs Allan kept the
wolf from the door.
David Campbell was one of the best
known of the old river men who thrived
in the early 60s aud 70s. His little
cottage has for years been the rendez
vous for the old timers and those who
gathered to hear the tales which the
old man never tired of repeating, and
which, iu their gripping interest of the
. old days when the Indian ruled the
land, never failed to hold the attention
of every listener.
As near as can be learned, "Uncle
Davy" came to Sioui City iu 1805,
taking up the vocation of captain on
one of the early steamboats. The last
boot on which he was actively engaged
was the old William Towle, which is
now being dismantled. On this boat
as captain three years ago he was en
gaged in making the trips to the sand
pits and return, eighteen miles np the
river. He is survived by four sons
and two daugters by his ilrst wife
Willium Campbell of Georgetown, Pa ;
Tom Campbell, who is living in West
Virginia; Noah and James Campbell,
whose residences are nnknown; Mrs
Elizabeth Jackson of Chester, W V
and Mrs Hattie Wright of Georgetown.
"Uncle Davy" was born in Beaver
county, Pa, near the Ohio river, March
2G, 182G, and at the oge of 11 years
took a position as cabin boy on the
steamer, Wellsville, plying between
Pittsburg, Pa, and Sunflsh, O, and
though his position was the lowest and
he received the least pay, his enjoy
ment probably was the greatest of all
the ofliuers and crew of the steamboat
of which he was so small a prt At
the age of 16 he became a full fledged
deck-baud, and at 21 was promoted to
' watchman on the Hondnries, after
whioh his advancement was rapid,
serving as second mate, then first
mate, and from that to pilot, in whioh
capacity he served on many steam
boats and navigated practically all the
river of the Mississippi valley from
New Orleans to the head of navigation
on the Missouri and Yellowstone, and
also the lower tributaries of the Mis
sissippi.
During the rebellion he served as
pilot on different boats of the union
navy in the Mississippi river until 18G5,
when on the steamer Oeneral Grant
lie made his first trip past Sioux City
on hi way from St Louis to Fort Ben
ton. After the railroads were built to
Sioux City he ran from here to Fort
Benton for reveral years, and was pilot
with Capt Grant Marsh on the "Far
West" during the summer of 1876, in
the employment of the government.
After the Custer massacre the
wonuded soldiers of Maj Iteno'a com
mand were brought on board the" Far
West" and Capt Marsh and Capt
Campbell taking regular shifts at the
wheel mado a record breaking run
from the Big Horn river down to Fort
Xiinooln, opposite Bismark.

Sioux City Jousnal, 11th: 0 A Cur
ry, a farmer on Walker's island, yes
terday afternoon made the interesting
discovery that there was on his farm a
petrified cedar tree in a perfect state
of preservation. Mr Curry was dig
ging a well and had gone four and a
half feet when Lis spade struck the
ohalcedonio mass, which he at first
thought was a rock. On digging to a
depth of eighteen feet he discovered
that the rock was nothing more; nor
less than a petrified tree, with roots
and trunk in their original form.
Where Walker's Island now lies it is
believed that the Missouri river once
flowed and that the tree was either a
snag which was floating down the
stream or a tree growing beside the
liver bank. Mr Curry has not decided
what he will do with his find. The
farm is the property of F W Lohr.

Weak Throat Weak Lungs
Cold after cold1; cough after cough! Troubled with this
taking-cold habit? Better break it up. We have great
confidence in Ayer's Cherry Pectoral for this work. No
medicine like it for weak throats and weak lungs. Ask
your doctor for his opinion. He knows all about it.
His approval is valuable. Follow his advice at all times.
No alcohol in this cough medicine. . C. A ytr Co., Lowell, Mass.
