?b?Esteemed Citizen Called By Death
Mr Peter J. Campbell
?/b?Was Former Well known Manufacturer of Almonte. People of Almonte and the surrounding district were exceedingly sorry to learn of the death of Mr Peter J. Campbell which occurred at his home in Almonte on Sunday night. He had been in failing health for some time but was able to go about and meet his friends until two weeks before the end when he took a bad turn which confined him to bed. Born in the township of Beckwith, Mr Campbell was in his 67th year. He was married 35 years ago to Miss Flora McDonald who survives him. Mr Campbell was by disposition kindly and public spirited, and took a leading part in all the activities that led to the welfare of the town. He was a member of the Electric Light Commission for several terms and was for some years a director of the North Lanark Agricultural Society. Prominent in business affairs, he owned and successfully conducted a woollen mill at Blakeney, for a number of years and in 1918, moved his plant, known as the Campbell Woollen Company, to Almonte, where it became one of the important textile industries of the town. He was also a director in the Yorkshire Wool Stock Mills Ltd., of Almonte, and for some years its president and general manager. Owing to failing health during the past two years he retired from business activities. The deceased was a lover of music and for some years took part and was manager of the choir of Bethany United Church of which church he was a member. In addition to other kindly qualities Mr Campbell was possessed of a good sense of humour which, coupled with his knowledge of Almonte's history, made him and interesting conversationalist. In his declining years he was fond of a chat with his friends and was such a familiar figure in the town that he will be greatly missed by those who were accustomed to meet him daily. Besides his widow he is survived by one daughter, Agnes and one son, Donald M., both at home, and four sisters, Mrs John Carnochan, Ottawa; Mrs Robert Forgie, Ottawa; Mrs Adam Curry, Winnipeg, and Mrs Andrew Cochrane, Edmonton, Alta., and one brother, John of Windsor, Ontario. Attended by a large and representative gathering of citizens and many from surrounding town and district, the funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from the family residence, Elgin Street to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev J.R. MacCrimmon of Bethany United Church, assisted by Rev Wm Aird of the Baptist Church. Testimony to the esteem in which the late Mr Campbell was held was seen in the many beautiful floral tributes as well as the large number of sorrowing friends, who gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased. The pallbearers were ? W.H. Stafford, K.C., W.C. Pollock, Dr. J.K. Kelly, A.C. Wylie, D.B. Taylor and Dr. E.F. McGregor. Relatives in attendance from out of town were ? Mrs John Carnochan, Mrs Robert Forgie, Mr and Mrs Gilbert Forgie, Campbell Carnochan, Gordon Carnochan, Fred Griffith, Mr and Mrs Alfred Bassett, Mrs John Campbell, Erymal Campbell, M.J.

Notes:

From Biog of his grandson Dr. William Simpson, Lacombe Alberta

The paternal grandfather, William Simpson, was born in the north of Ireland and located in Ontario at an early day, making the trip across the ocean in an old sailing vessel, and coming to Ontario by way of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers. He was active in the building of the Rideau canal locks at Ottawa. When he came to Canada the present prosperous community of Ottawa consisted of but a few log houses, known as Bytown. He was a true pioneer of the country and he homesteaded land which was nothing but woods. To him fell the laborious task of clearing it and in due time he had one of the finest farms in the district, and resided thereon until his demise.
