49204 World War I Victoria Cross Recipient. Born in , he served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the 12th Battalion, Highland Light Infantry, British Army. On March 25, 1918, when the enemy attacked on the right of the battalion frontage and succeeded in penetrating the woods held by his men, Lieutenant Colonel made his way across the open in full view of the enemy. Reaching the men, he succeeded in gathering the remainder of the two right companies. He personally led the counter attack, drove the enemy from the wood, capturing twelve machine guns, seventy German prisoners and restored the original line of defense. Later that same day, when the enemy had penetrated the line near a village, he reorganized his men and brought them forward to a position of readiness for a counter attack. He led the attack in person with the utmost disregard for his own safety and drove the enemy from his position, which resulted himself losing his life. For most conspicuous bravery, determination and gallantry leading his command, he was posthumously awared the Victoria Cross on May 3, 1918.

Died: 16 May 2000; Born: 1 July 1917;
Parents: Alva and Minnie Wyman, Vesta
Survived by: Wife: Gladys.
Children: Garth, Janet, Richard, Ellen, Mary, Francis, Alice, Fred. Numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

My father was an extraordinary man. Born to a rural mail carrier and a former seamstress, he was an outstanding student, advancing two grades and finishing secondary school in the same class as his two years older brother. He attended the University of Minnesota, earned a degree in Electrical Engineering, graduated summa cum laude and was awarded membership in the
Phi Beta Kappa honors society. While at university in Minneapolis, he joined the brethren fellowship, where he met his future wife, Gladys Symington of Neche, North Dakota. After graduation, he was employed by Westinghouse Electric. During World War II he was classified 4F (needed in industry) so was not drafted.
Westinghouse assigned him first to Pittsburgh and then to Cleveland, where he spent the rest of his career. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Harold and Kenneth, all buried in the cemetery at Echo, Minnesota. None of them were ever in fellowship, although his mother attended the gospel preaching regularly in her later years and was buried by the brethren. It seemed there was nothing he couldn't do. He could ride a bicycle while facing backwards. He learned sign language so he could interpret for the deaf. He could take an automobile engine apart, repair it, and make it run again. He had a marvelous sense of humor and wrote memorable doggerel. He was a tall man, standing six feet two and one half inches and powerfully built, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He taught me to obey my conscience. He wouldn't tell me I could or couldn't do something. He wanted me to be "exercised" about it. I have tried to follow that advice. For many years my father carried a bible that had been a gift from his brother Harold. The inscription cited II Timothy 2: 15. Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth.
Rest in peace, Father.

49228 Yesterday morning there came over the telephone the shocking news that Mrs. James W. Campbell had died suddenly in Kingston. It appears that she went to bed in her usual state of health on Monday night and was found dead in her bed on Tuesday morning. She lived with her daughter Lila, Mrs. Wm. Drysdale, in the city but kept up an active correspondence with friends, and retained a constant interest in her old home in Lanark. In the summer season she spent a number of weeks with her daughter and friends in Lanark and at Dalhousie Lake, and nothing was noted in her appearance to indicate the presence of any serious organic trouble.

Elizabeth McKerracher, for that was her maiden name, was born at the village of Brooke, in the Township of Bathurst, in the year 1860. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McKerracher. When twenty years old she became the wife of Mr. James Campbell of Lanark Village. They settled down in a comfortable home in Lanark, where for a number of years to follow, Mr. Campbell was a successful and enterprising man of business. In 1899 Mr. Campbell died, and the wife and four children were left to face the world. In the family were John, Maynard. Wilmer, and Lila. Although very young in years the eldest sons managed to carry on the business, which has been continued down to this day under the ownership and personal management of Mr. John Campbell. Maynard accepted a position in Sudbury, Ont., with a successful business firm. Wilmer held a position with Messrs. Boyd Caldwell and Co. at Appleton until the war broke out when he enlisted and went overseas with the 21st Battalion. He distinguished himself over there, and at the present time occupies a position in the service in Canada. Miss Lila became the wife of Mr. William Drysdale, of Lanark, but moved to Kingston a few years ago as a point more convenient for Mr. Drysdale in his work as a commercial traveller. Her brother and sisters surviving are Daniel, at Fallbrook, Mrs. Wm. Hossie of Glentay, Mrs. James Munro of Scotch Line, Mrs. Robt. Burris of Perth, Mrs. And. Palmer of Regina, and Mrs. Jno. McGee, Seattle, Wash.

Leaving her old Lanark home, where she had spent so many happy years, was a reluctant step, and nothing pleased her so much in her new home in Kingston, as when some Lanark friend of the old days would drop in. Mrs. Campbell was the soul of kindness. Hers was a helping hand. She had sympathy for sorrow, cheer for sadness, and encouragement for despondency. And her home reflected the character of her personality, where no person could enter and come away unprofitted by her gentle and kind companionship. Tomorrow the body will be laid away in the village cemetery.
