  • Notes 
    • Robert Campbell.

      On an elevation that overlooks a vast stretch of rural landscape with the village of Crosshill nestling amidst it: groves of tall poplars, is located the old Campbell homstead where the subject of this sketch now resides. He has lived on this farm all his life, which extends over a period of forty-nine years. It was taken up by his father nearly sixty years ago and contains 136 acres. It is a fertile and well improved tract of land. Mr. Campbell is among the most successful of Wellesley Township's farmers, being a man of systematic ideas as regards farming in this age of advancement. His favorite breed of cattle is the Ayrshire, and in the breeding of which he has had good success, there being some very fine animals in his present herd. He is also quite a fruit producer, having disposed of over fifty barrels of choice fall and winter apples this season. He is a staunch Reformer, an influential member of the Presbyterian church and a warm friend of the CHRONICLE, of which he has been a subscriber for the past seven or eight years.
