Died
Suddenly on Wednesday morning, the 30th instant, Colin Campbell, Esquire, in the 60th year of his age [born 1783]. He was for many years one of the Representatives of the County of Charlotte, in the General Assembly of this Province, where he distinguished himself by his industry and talent—he was also a Judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, and retained that situation until he became High Sheriff of the County, and continued in that office a number of years. In addition to these he held several civil situations of trust and responsibility. Mr. Campbell was a man of strong natural powers, which had been cultivated by a good classical education. He was an affectionate Parent and an ardent Friend—and his death will be lamented by a large circle of Relatives and Friends. His funeral will take place this day at 4 o’clock from the residence of his daughter, when friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.
