OBITUARY
DONALD M. CAMPBELL OF SCOTSTOWN.
Scotstown Jan. 13 -- Funeral services for Donald M. Campbell were held in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Scotstown, on Sunday, December 13, by his pastor, Rev. J. W. Smith.
By the request of the deceased's son, Rev. Alex M. Campbell, of Morro Bay, Calif., 1st Peter, chapter I, was read, Verses 23 and 24 of the 73rd Psalm were sung in Gaelic, led by Mr. Angus A. MacIver, while the hymns, "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," wore sung by an augmented male choir from the Presbyterian, United and Anglican Churches. The organist was Mrs. A. A. Mackenzie.
The bearers were Messrs. Murdo J. Graham, Angus A. MacIver, Donald K. MacLeod, Angus J. MacIver, Laurence Macdonald and Alex M. Morrison, all of whom were once, like the decease, residents of the Hampden congregation.
Interment was made in the family lot in Dell Cemetery. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers from relatives and friends.
Mr. Campbell was one of a family of eight children born to the later Murdo K. Campbell and his wife, Mary Martin, natives of Lewis Island, Scotland. He was born on July 15, 1865, in Dell, where practically his whole lifetime was spent. The other members of his family were Dora, Mrs. Alex G. Morrison, who died in March, 1922, Mary, who passed away in young womanhood, Kenneth who died in February, 1926, and Katharine, Mrs. William Forbes, who passed away in August, 1916; three other children died in infancy.
Mr. Campbell, who passed away at 7 p.m. on December 10, died on the eighteenth anniversary of the death of his sister Doris' son, Donald MacRae Morrison, who died on December 10, 1924, and was buried on December 13.
Mr. Campbell was married to Katharine Nicholson, also of Dell, in April 1896, in St. Luke's Church, at Hampden, which was destroyed by the cyclone of July 30, 1917. Of this union eight sons were born, all of whom survive, Dannie Allen, of Scotstown, John and Kenneth, of Detroit, Mich., Murdo, of Springfield, Mass., William Forbes, of Rock Island, Merrill, of Baltimore, Md., Rev. Alexander M., of Morro Bay, Calif., and Norman, who is on active service in Scotland.
Mrs. Nicholson passed away in September, 1918. The eldest son, Dannie, received the news of his mother's death while on active service in England in the First World War, while the youngest son, Norman, received the news of his father's death while actively engaged overseas in World War II.
Mr. Campbell was in ill health for many years but through it all had a cheery word and smiling face for everyone. His faith and trust in his Crestor carried him uncomplainingly through many a weary month of pain and suffering. Possessed of an extraordinary good memory and keen wit, he was good company for old and young. He had an accurate history of Dell since the first pioneers settled there to the time he died and it is regrettable that he had never had it published, for it would be of interest to many one-time residents of Dell who are now scattered far and wife.
Seven daughters-in-law and ten grandchildren also survive as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
His eldest son, at whose home he died in Scotstown, had always resided with his father. When the farm in Dell was sold in 1941, he moved his family to his present home in Scotstown, his father accompanying him, where he was confined to his room most of the time.
Sincere sympathy is extended to the family in their sorrow.

MY GREAT GRANDFATHER
Donald Murdo Campbell, known as "Melavi," was born to Murdo Kenneth Campbell and his wife, Mary D. Martin, the fifth of seven children. He was born on July 15, 1865 in North Dell, Hampden Township, Compton County, Quebec, Canada. He married Catherine "Katie" Donelda Nicholson, daughter of Donald Nicholson and his wife, Isabella Murray. Together, they had eight sons, including Dannie Allan, John Donald, Kenneth, Murdo D., William Forbes, Merrill Angus, Alexander Murdo, and Norman Nicholson Campbell. They then adopted an orphan, Etta Gota, who all adored.
They all lived on a rocky farm, where life was tough. Melavi was a farmer and had a special talent of finding water through a divining rod - a hazel stick. The family members were all Presbyterians. Life on the rocky farm was hard and several of the brothers left the area for greener pastures.
Melavi died on December 10, 1942 and was buried in the Dell Cemetery.
The family lived in the Scotstown area. The Dell Cemetery, where Melavi and his wife are buried, is a place where many Scottish settlers and their descendants are interred. Many of the ancestors arrived in Scotstown from the Isle of Lewis, in the Hebrides of Scotland.
