      Obituary:
      THE REV. HOMER CAMPBELL
      Thursday, November 26, 1992

      ADVANCE -- The Rev. Homer Campbell, 88, of Advance died Wednesday, Nov. 25, 1992 at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau.
      He was born April 2, 1904 to William and Lucinda Shiverdeck Campbell.

      He had been a General Baptist minister in Southeast Missouri for 51 years. He was a member of the Bright Prospect General Baptist Church near McGee, Mo.

      He first married Myrtle Effie Kinder on March 6, 1926 at Marble Hill. She preceded him in death on Feb. 12, 1977. He later married Alma Lemons Deckard on April 27, 1980 at Zalma. She preceded him in death on Nov. 4, 1985.

      SURVIVORS OMITTED.

      He was preceded in death by two sons, one brother, two sisters, two grandchildren, and one step grandchild.

      Friends may call between 4 and 9 p.m. Friday at the Morgan Funeral Home in Advance.

      Services are at 1 p.m. Saturday at the funeral chapel with the Rev. Eldo Eaker, the Rev. Marcus Ladd and the Rev. Bob Porter officiating. Burial will follow in Bollinger County Memorial Park.

      Anonymous Researcher #1:
      Alvin Green Bostick & Hattie Campbell were married on March 6, 1911 in Bollinger County, Missouri. Mrs. Lucinda (Shiverdecker Campbell) signed for Hattie because Hattie was too young to marry legally. Both Alvin and Hattie were from Buchanan, MO.
      Three of the starred items below are marriages of Lucinda Shiverdecker--(spelled Lucinda Schinerdecker in one database). For clarification, her progressive name changes are in parenthesis. Lucinda also used the name "Cinda" in censuses.

      *1896----Lucinda Shiverdecker was married to W. (?middle initial?) Campbell on December 25, 1896 in Bollinger County, MO. One researcher identified Lucinda's first husband's initials as W. E. while an Ancestry.com marriage database recorded his initials as W. R. It was impossible for me to tell what the second initial was and so far, I haven't found the man in a census. Mr. Campbell was from Coldwater, Wayne Co., MO. Lucinda (over 18) was from Buchanan, MO. The Missouri archives lists a W. E. Campbell, divorced, who died in Stoddard County in the late 1930s. Is it possible that Lucinda and W. Campbell divorced and then, Lucinda later married again? In records, people sometimes claimed to be widowed when they were actually divorced.

      *1919----Mrs. Lucinda (Shiverdecker, Campbell) married a T. B.Tate on March 18, 1919 in Bollinger County. Lucinda was from Zalma and T. B. was from Hahn.

      *1920----In the 1920 census, Lucinda Tate lived in a residence with Homer and Oscar Campbell near Alvin & Hattie Bostick while Thomas B. Tate lived in a different residence. Home and Oscar were two of three sons Lucinda had with her first husband, W. Campbell. In the census, Lucinda described herself as married; Thomas B. Tate described himself as a widower. They lived in Wayne Township, Bollinger County in 1920.

      *1927----Mrs. Lucenda (Shiverdecker, Campbell, Tate) married George Howell on April 30, 1927 at Bloomfield, Stoddard County, MO. Lucenda and George both were from Sturdivant in Bollinger County.

      *1939----Death certificate information: On Lucinda's death certificate (February, 1939), her name was entered as Lucinda Howell.
      Evidently, the children Lucinda had with W. Campbell were Hattie, Walter, Flora, Homer, and Oscar. I have found marriage records that I believe are for Hattie, Walter, Homer, and Oscar--but no marriage record that seems to be for Flora.

      Anonymous Researcher #1 also provided the following two site references, the first concerning the marriage of Alvin Bostick and Hattie Campbell and the second providing an additional reference for the names of William E. Campbell and Lucinda Angelina Shiverdecker Campbell's children.

      Surnames: Kinder
      Do any of these names mean anything to you? Hattie Mae, Flora, Oscar, Walter, or Homer. These are children of Wiliam E. Campbell b. Abt 1868 and Lucinda Angelina Shiverdecker b. Abt 1871. They lived in South East Mo.
