    Mr Campbell had been in indifferent health for some time and passed away on Thursday at the age of 58 years and one month.

He was born in Lanark County, Ont., on 28 February, 1885 and on coming west he lived with his parents in the Reston district, later settling nort of Tilston.

    He married Elizabeth Cameron in December 1915, who survives him. Also four sons, Alex, Albert, William and Kenneth and two daughters, Jean of Winnipeg and Mrs mac Cairns of Tilson. He also has one brother, Peter, and a sister, Tena, both of Tilston.

    Notes:

    Moved west to homestead in 1891. Took rail to Melita, MB (end of rail). Traveled north to Tilston, MB, 10-6-29 Rural Municipality of Albert, where closest neighbour was 9-10 miles south. Bob McInally and Jimmy Brown homesteads just east of homestead. Other neighbours were primarily from Iceland - Olsens, Abrahamsens, Fredricksons, Thordarsons.
    These settlers left during the 1930's. They built a sod hut on SW quarter and gathered buffalo chips for fuel because there were no trees or shrubs. Nearest supplies were from Melita or Reston. Lumber was hauled from Moose Mountain near Carlyle and a two room shack was built.

    Alexander died three years after homesteading and was buried just north of homestead buildings. Susan and children moved to Reston where children could attend school. She and children moved to homestead in the summers in order to keep her rights. Susan, Peter and Christina moved back to the farm when Peter was old enough to run the farm.

    Susan died on the farm in 1930 at 80 years of age. She divided her land among her three children and Peter bought Fraser's and Christina's shares. Fraser and Christina never married and remained on the farm until their deaths.

    Land & Property:
    Sgt. John Ashley (Ashby) received an initial location ticket for all of Lot 24 in Concession 2, Front of Yonge Township, Leeds County. This property is slightly to the north west of the village of Mallorytown. An investigation of this property reveals that it was all swamp land draining into Jones Creek which flows through the southern end of the property. Early maps indicate much more open water on the creek than visible on today's GIS maps suggesting that the water table has changed, but today this area remains undeveloped. Farmland in the township begins in concession 3.
    A second location ticket was granted for Lot 19 SW in Concession 10 of Bathurst township of Lanark County, then part of the Bathurst District. This remote property was located on the shores of the Bolton Creek as it flows out of Bennett Lake. It is also directly west of the village of Fallbrook

    John Ashby relinquished this property and it was regranted 11 Dec 1821 to Simon Grey.
