Campbell, 10th concession of Blenheim, on Friday afternoon this community loses a well-known and much-esteemed resident. Mr. Riddell, who was in his 77th year, had been in indifferent health for the greater part of a year. After being ill in the west for a number of months, where he was residing with his sons, he recovered sufficiently in September to make the trip back home. Here he was able to be about as usual for a time, but a week or so previous to his demise he was again taken seriously ill and gradually lost strength until the end came. Born near Edinburgh, Scotland, he came to Canada at, the age of 18 and secured work in the Sprague's road section. Upon his marriage to Margaret Sudden, who predeceased him 17 years ago, he took up farming on the farm now occupied by John T. Taylor. Fifteen years later, the family removed to the farm now occupied by Bruce Dawson on the Ayr - Wrigley's Corners road. Here they resided for a further 15 years.
