Lot 16 United Church and its People:
Archibald Campbell was a resident of Lot 16 for eighty-five years. He died at the age of ninety-two. His obituary
states that he left behind numerous family and friends.
While his wife's name is unknown, it is recorded there were at least five children from their union. The following excerpt
is taken from the September 23, 1869 Pioneer newspaper.
Deceased was a man gready beloved - a humble follower of Christ and for forty-seven years an elder of
the Presbyterian Church. His last sufferings were not severe and without a groan or struggle he calmly
entered his redeeming rest.
The dedicated churchman from Lot 16 was remembered beyond the boundaries of his community. An excerpt from
the obituaries carried in February 1870 edition of the Home and Foreign Record, The Presbyterian Church of the Lower Provinces
stated, "Mr. Campbell in his last year, imagined every day was the Sabbath and reproved the family from working."
A son, Andrew N. Campbell auctioned Archibald's farm Tuesday, July 27, 1869, two months prior to Archibald's death.
