  Marriage	4 Jun 1839	San Augustine County, Texas
  	Harry Noble wrote that "Isaac Campbell, a flamboyent promoter and land developer, married Mrs. Elizabeth "Betty" Holman Dye (William W. Holman's widowed twenty-four-year-old sister). They were wed on June 4, 1839. Wanting to impress her with a grand wedding present, Campbell had earlier purchased four lots in the Sweet addition and contracted with Augustus Phelps, a San Augustine master carpenter, to build a fine two-story house (presently known as the Cartwright House) on the northeast corner of Ayish and Main Street. (Noble, page 117). Campbell suffered a series of financial reversals shortly after his marriage. In September on 1843 his house was sold at public auction. Two days later, Isaac Campbell, age thirty, was dead. Although records do not give details, some suggest that Campbell had gotten himself into such a financial tangle that his way out was suicide. (Noble, page 118). After his suicide the Masons, of which Isaac was a member, called a special meeting as a funeral service for Brother Campell and their members wore the Badge of Mourning for the usual length of time. (Noble, Harry ANTHONY B. PATTON "Justice of the Peace" San Augustine Tribune, Thursday, November 21, 2002) William W. Holman (Isaac's brother-in-law) would "sell the house, outhouses and lots to Reverend Francis Wilson and three Methodist Wesleyan College trustees: William D. Ratliff, John C. Brooke and James Perkins for $1200...for the next few years the former home of Isaac Campbell would be at the disposal of the College president and used a facility for the College's Female Department." (Noble, Harry WESLEYAN COLLEGE "Birth of the College" San Augustin Tribune, Thursday, March 27, 2003)
