MR. ANGUS CAMPBELL, BURY.

BURY, Sept. 10. -- The death occurred of Mr. Angus Campbell on August 14th., at the age of eighty-six years. He was born in the year 1834 on the Island of Lewis, (Parish of Ness), Scotland. His wife, Catharine McFarlane, born also on the Island of Lewis, in the year 1840, died July 20th., 1900, aged sixty years.

He was one or the old pioneers. He lived in Galson, Que., since coming to this country until he was compelled to break up the home through losing his life's companion, when he made his home with his daughter and son, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon McLeay, and he highly complimented his son for his care and goodness to him during the seven years he had lived with him and spoke of him in the highest terms.

He leaves to mourn his loss, one sister, Mrs. Morrison, of Scotstown, who is eighty-three years of age, also five daughters, Mrs. Gordon McLeay, with whom he had lived; Mrs. Sherwood, of Butte, Montana; Mrs. Townsend, of Seattle, Wash.; Mrs. Morrison, of Graniteville, Vt.; Mrs. Gingras, of Lowell, Mass. The last two named were all who were able to be present from a distance. His oldest son was killed at Butte, Montana, twenty-five years ago. Kenneth and Malcolm who live in Wisconsin, were not able to be present. Dannie, of Butte, Montana, was injured on an electric car and died from the effects. Roderick was killed in a snow slide in British Columbia.

Deceased had been ailing more or less for the past few years, but only confined to bed about ten days.

He had been an Elder in the Presbyterian Church of Lingwick for years, until his home was broken up through death, when circumstances compelled him to move further away and was not able to attend regularly, but never did his faith waver and he was present in the House of the Lord at all times when privileged to do so.

He was a faithful Christian and a better neighbor or a kinder friend in sickness or trouble was hard to find. Willing and anxious to expound the Scripture to any one inquiring.

He was of a quiet disposition, well educated and a well balanced man, and only those who shared his personal confidence knew the depth and richness of his religious experience. Those who knew him best held him in the highest esteem, faithful and true to the last, he ceased to work and live, passing from the activities of life to the blessedness, of the unseen world so close at hand.

The funeral services were held at Lingwick by the Rev. K. McLennan, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends, when the remains were laid to rest beside his beloved wife. Sympathy is extended the bereaved ones far and near in their loss.
