In 1918, the family returned to Almonte where Mr Campbell had established a textile mill in a building formerly occupied by the Ker-Ben foundry. In 1928 this plant was destroyed by fire and Mr Campbell retired, continuing to reside until his death in the residence on Elgin Street still occupied by his son, Reeve D.M. Campbell and Mrs Campbell of this town. As long as she was able, Mrs Campbell took an active interest in Bethany, now Almonte United Church and at the time of her death she was the oldest member.
