?b?"DEATH OF ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, ESQ.?/b?

At midnight on Sunday passed away to his post the soul of Archibald Campbell, Esq. Cut off in the bloom of manhood and the meridian of a successful life, he has rendered up his life to the onset of his terrible malady. For several days the fever which rioted rampant in his system seemed somewhat in abeyance, and serious fears were not entertained for his recovery; but the danger was hovering near, and when least expected the silent messenger came. It is not too much to say that our dead friend was universally regretted, and a deep sorrow for the event, and sympathy for the bereaved, is expressed by the community generally.
The subject of this obituary notice was born in the Township of Drummond in the early days of its settlement, and was one of a numerous family of brothers, some of whom have attained marked positions in their native country. The parents were of Highland nativity, and emigrated to this country among the first settlers, enduring the hardships and privations peculiar to the experience of the early pioneers. Mr. Campbell has resided in Perth for several years past, and held at the time of his death the offices of Division Court Clerk and Official Assignee, besides several minor offices. He was also Secretary of the South Riding of the Lanark Agricultural Society. In his official capacity he made many warm friends, constantly adding acquisitions to his list by his kindliness of manner and obliging cordiality; and we venture to say few will deny that his death has added few to his garner in this vicinity who will be more sincerely regretted, or more sacredly treasured in memory.
On Wednesday at 2 o'clock the mournful cortege bearing the remains proceeded to Elmwood Cemetery followed by many friends and acquaintances, and brethren of the Masonic fraternity, on reaching which all that was mortal was consigned to their last resting place with Masonic ceremonial, many participating in this last sad office of a long farewell until the day breaks and the night shadow flee away. In conclusion, we earnestly offer our sympathies and condolence to the bereaved assuring them in their affliction that 'there is One who doeth well what seemeth best in His might.'
The remains of our deceased citizen were deposited in their last resting place with Masonic honors, Mr. Campbell being a prominent member of the Order, and secretary of the Lodge in Perth. Large numbers of the brethren from Almonte, Arnprior, Pakenham, Carleton-Place, Lanark, Newboro', and Merrickville, joined with their fellow Masons in Perth in paying the last earthly tribute of respect to their deceased brother. The funeral took place to Elmwood Cemetery, on Wednesday last, and comprised one of the largest assemblages of all classes and creeds we have ever seen in Perth."

_______

Peter Campbell, was born at Rein-a-Chullaig, Loch Tayside, Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland, and belonged to the Lochnell branch of the Campbell clan. One of his ancestors having taken part in the Jacobite rising in 1715, and thus having incurred the displeasure of Argyll, who was at the head of the Hanoverian forces, did not return to his native district, but placed himself under the protection of his other great kinsman, Breadalbane, who was neutral in that contest, and who assigned him the property called Rein-a-Chullaig. Peter Campbell was a man of high character and intelligence. He had for a time been a teacher in Scotland, and this gave him much influence with his Highland countrymen who accompanied him to Canada in 1817, and settled in the Bathurst district. He brought some money with him to Canada, and owned the first yoke of oxen in the settlement; although during the first season he had to carry a bag of flour on his back through the woods from Brockville, a distance of about fifty miles, having no road to follow but guided only by the blazes on the trees. He was chosen an elder of the first Presbyterian church, which was under the ministry of Rev. William Bell, shortly after his arrival in the country. But as he was born and bred in the Church of Scotland, he united with that branch of the Presbyterian communion as soon as it was established in Perth under the ministry of the late Rev. T. C. Wilson, of Dunkeld, Scotland, and was installed an elder in it too, which office he retained till his death in 1848.

Margaret Campbell, Rev. Dr. Campbell's mother, was of the Gleno [Glencoe] and Inverliver branch of the clan Campbell. She was born in Glenlyon, Scotland, her mother being a MacDiarmid, one of the oldest families in Scotland. Mrs. Campbell ably seconded her husband in all his aims and efforts; and one of the results of their joint influence and instruction was that three of their sons became ministers of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland, and a fourth studied for the ministry of the Baptist church, but his health broke down before he was able to complete his course of preparation.
