Campbell, aged 60 years. 1898, Friday December 23, The Almonte Gazette front page The Late Donald M. Campbell For some months past Mr D.M. Campbell, one of our most respected townsmen, had been troubled with enlargement of the heart and dropsy. He was seriously ill some time ago, but his strong constitution enabled him to rally for a time, The end of last week he again became quite ill, and in spite of the ministrations of his family and the efforts of his physicians he rapidly grew weaker until Tuesday morning, when the golden bowl was broken and the spirit returned unto God who gave it. The late Mr Campbell was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he was born Dec 31, 1838. He was within a few days of finishing his threescore years when death intervened. He was the last ot the family of his own generation. (His brother Duncan, tailor, died here five years ago.) Mr Campbell spent twelve years as a gamekeeper at Breadalbane, in the Highlands of Scotland; then seven years in the same capacity in the Lowlands near Glasgow; and in 1883, after another year at his Highland home, he embarked with his family for Canada, coming direct to Almonte, where he resided continuously till his death. He married Christine McPherson in Scotland in 1871, and she and her unbroken family of ten children survive to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. Deceased was an ardent Scotchman, and in the closing days of his illness, when delirium at times had him in its power, he was frequently heard to speak affectionately of the "high and healthy hills" of the land he loved so well. Mr Campbell was a strong Presbyterian, and a elder of St John's Church. His faith was strong and sure to the end, He was on pronounced views – a rugged son of the heather – but possessed a warm heart, and had qualities that won for him the esteem and friendship of a large circle. He was for many years an employee of the Rosamond Woolen Co., but the inside work proved to great a change from what he was accustomed to in the old land, and his health suffered. He was an active member of Camp Bluebell No 62, Sons of Scotland, Almonte, whose members turned out in a body to attend the funeral, which took place this (Thursday) afternoon, to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended. Rev Mr Mitchell officiated at the house – a short service for the relatives – and at a public service afterward in St John's church. The pallbearers were Messrs Jas Forgie, Duncan Stewart, John McCarter, Wm Young, Geo Patterson, and P.C. McGregor. The widow and family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
