?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.

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 ?

Robert Houston
One of the largest funerals Almonte has ever seen marked the passing of Mr. Robert Houston, a well known citizen. Mr Houston died on Friday and his remains were interred in St Paul's cemetery on Sunday afternoon. It was an impressive sight as the long cortege wended its way from the family home to his last resting place. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Rural Dean J.J. Lowe. Mr Houston was born in Almonte 74 years ago, the son of Robert Houston and Isabell Harrison. In Almonte he learned the trade of brick laying, which business he followed throughout his life. Forty years ago he was married at Pembroke to Miss Annie Prince and to them were born six sons and four daughters. His sons are Alex, Jack, Harry, Robert, George and Charles, all of Almonte. His daughters are Isabell, Mrs Hiram Hudson, of Arnprior; Jean, Mrs Fred Armstrong, of Almonte; and Annie, Mrs Chris Johnston, of Arnprior. One daughter Mary, died nineteen years ago. There are sixteen grandchildren. He had four brothers: Alexander, who has passed away, Thomas Houston, of Arnprior, Edward and William, of Almonte. In his youthful days the late Mr. Houston was a fine athlete, and his sons have taken after their father in this respect. An athletic team in Almonte would hardly seem to be complete without a Houston in it. His six sons were the pallbearers at the funeral of their father. The floral tributes were very many and the scene was a memorable one.

Robert married Annie Prince in 1886. Annie was born in May 1861 in Ontario, Canada; died on 2 Oct 1926 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in St. Paul's Anglican Church Cemetery, Almonte, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
