Circumstances of death.

Can anyone provide details of how Campbell died? 29 is quite young. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LINKBook (talk • contribs) 20:01, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

More work needed

I did a little cleanup as my laptop charged, but don't have time for more. While I don't doubt that a picture of him exists somewhere, and is out of copyright since he died before 1923, I don't have time to find it and the link was dead.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by West Virginian (talk). Self-nominated at 13:05, 5 September 2020 (UTC).

• New GA status verified. QPQ done. Thoroughly sourced, within DYK rules. Earwig found only titles and quotes, no problematic copying. Interesting hook, (barely) short enough, properly sourced in the article sentences supporting the hook claims. Image ok at DYK size, with valid PD status. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:33, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
