A venerable and much esteemed figure has been removed by the death at Edinburgh of Mrs Campbell of Barriemore, Appin. Mrs Campbell, who was in her 95th year, was a daughter of the late William Macfie of Langhouse, on the Clyde, and a sister of the late well-known Robert Macfie of Airds and Oban. Early in life she was married to the late Duncan Alexander Campbell, the lineal representative of the Glenfeochan branch of the Campbells, who died in 1861, leaving the young widow in charge of three sons and three daughters to whom she acted as father and mother. The eldest son, singularly handsome, died while still a young man; but Dr. Campbell and Colonel Campbell, and the three daughters still survive. The three daughters married and Mrs Campbell lived to see her great-grandchildren.

For more than half a century she lived in her beautiful home in Barriemore, exercising a wide hospitality, and not only esteemed but revered for her unostentatious beneficence. She was characterised by great humility, and was notable for her great reverence for everything sacred. Till well beyond her ninetieth year she was able to attend church, and no more regular or devout worshipper soulc be found in any sanctuary. She was widely read, and very musical.
