Columbia Veteran Who
Was in Andersonville Prison
uM M \
By Special Correspondence
Columbia, Pa., May 16.—Columbia
has a veteran of the Civil War who
enjoys an unusual distinction among
his comrades. While he has been a
resident of this place for many years,
his enlistment for service in the Re
bellion was with New York State
troops, with whom he fought in many
battles in the war, and was awarded a
special medal of honor by that State
for meritorious service.
Recently the veteran, William D.
Campbell, accompanied the survivors
of Andersonville prison from that
State on a tour over southern battle
fields. One point of special interest to
him was the Andersonville prison site.
Comrade Campbell was confined in
that prison ten months and on this
visit was able to locate with accuracy
the exact spot where he had his quar
ters on the "dead line." A very un
usual incident of the trip was the fact
that he met a companion of his boy
hood days who had been confined with
him in the same prison and whom he
had not seen since their experience to
gether in that famous prison pen.
