INFO. FROM LIVING CHILDREN.
Letter from Galen Campbell,(grandson of G. W.'s brother Moses Lee.) "M father was a motorman for the S. W. Missouri railroad. The street car line from Carthage to Webb City, passed your grt. grandfathers farm. The large two story white house was in plain view as one passed on the car. I have seen the house many, many times. The farm was located berween Carterville and Carthage. I think nearer Carthage. I also remember going to their house as a very small boy, seeing your grt. grandfather lying in bed,very sick. Later he died and I think I attended the funeral but am not certain. I vaguely remember his wife and some children but then most moved away from Jasper Co. because by the time I was grown they were all gone.
TOMBSTONE INSCRIP. Vasti was 40 yrs old when she died of typhoid fever contracted from her brother, Robert Berry Neil. She took care of him, he recovered, but she died. They had sold their farm on Shoal Creek around 1886/8 and George built a new home on the homestead at Carterville,but Vasti died before living in it.
