Our brother, Rev. Zuriel Campbell, who died June last at the advanced age of 77 years, was a member of the Dodge Centre (Minn.) Church. His parents being Presbyterians, he was reared in the observance of the First-day as the Sabbath. His first church membership was with the Church at Truxton, N. Y., with which he united at the age of twenty-two years. He was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry at a session of the General Conference which was held with the DeRuyter Church, in 1834 or 1835. In 1839, he became pastor of the Friendship Church at Nile, N. Y. In 1846, he was called to the pastorate of the church at Milton, Wis., where he served with acceptability for four years. He was afterwards pastor of the Christiana (Wis.) Church for eight years. After that he was pastor of the church at West Genesee, N. Y. In 1871, he accepted a call to Dodge Centre, Minn. This was his last regular pastorate, failing health compelling him to resign after five years faithful service. Brother Campbell was truly an acceptable preacher, clear in his doctrinal views and statements, fervent in his devotions and expression of religious feeling, and able in exhortation. In his long service in the ministry, he was frequently called to preach to congregations of First-day people, before whom he manifested peculiar wisdom in the manner of presenting Sabbath truth. Truly a father in Israel has fallen. May we emulate his zeal and devotion to the truth.

Note: Second pastor of the Milton SDB church serving from 1846-1850.

Mrs. Amy Campbell was born at Lincklaen, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1810, and died at the home of her son in New Auburn, Minn., May 20, 1902, aged 91 years, 8 months and 10 days.
In early life she made a profession of Christianity and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church, and remained a true follower of Christ unto the end of life. Sept. 21, 1829, she was united in marriage with Rev. Zuriel Campbell, who preceded her to the grave many years ago. For many years she shared with her husband the joys and trials of pastoral labors, while he served as pastor the churches of Milton, Dodge's Creek, Utica, Dodge Centre and New Auburn.
She was the mother of ten children, of which number only three are now living and but one of whom could be present at the funeral. During the war of the Rebellion two of her sons entered the Union army and made noble records as true soldiers. For many years she had made her home with her son, Mr. Mark Campbell of New Auburn, where she received the best of care up to the time of her death. She lived to a ripe old age and spent her entire life in quietly serving her Saviour, and has gone to her reward fully prepared to meet him whom she served so well. E. H. S.
