Headline Campbell Autry Dead
Text Campbell A. Autry one of the prominent and substantial farmers of Corsicana, passes away at his home on Wednesday, Nov 17, of kidney trouble.

Mr. Autry had lived in this county for about 47 years, having come to Barry County from Greene County where he was born. A few years after coming to the county he was married to Miss Sarah Shaw and located on a farm near Corsicana and had reared his family and continued to spend his declining years where he had met and successfully overcome the hardships of building for himself and family a home in the early seventies.

He was the father of ten children, Mrs. Ida Nichols, Kansas City, Charles, Ft Worth, Tex., Will, Pierce City, George of Oklahoma, Mrs. Ora Thompson and Floyd Autry of Exeter, Thomas and Henry and Mrs. Henry Goetz of Corsicana and Mrs. Will Rice of Wheaton.

He had long been a faithful member of the Baptist church was a man of sterling integrity, firm in his confections of what was right and one of the county's good citizens. He was of that type of sturdy manhood, devoted to principle sincere and earnest in nature, which characterized many of the early settlers of this county i to whom we are deeply indebted. Such men of deep and honest convictions have been the very foundation of our government. In his passing the county has lost a valuable citizen.

Mr. Autry was a member of the Masonic fraternity and after the funeral sermon by Rev. C. M. Smith, his body was laid to rest with the honors of that order. The funeral services were conducted at Corsicana and interment made in the cemetery there.
