The following notice of the death of Archibald Campbell was found without a date but may be of interest for the story it tells of his arrival in Nova Scotia in 1816. The Casket, 1898 An Old Landmark Gone: Mr. Archibald Campbell, one of the oldest residents of this town, and a man who lived longer within it than any other now remaining, passed away on Sunday morning in the ninetieth year of his age. He was born in Lochaber, Scotland, in May, 1808, and emigrated to America in 1816, landing at Pictou from the ship Nymph, of Aberdeen. The Nymph and the Good Intent had left Aberdeen together for Pictou, and in some cases the members of the same family were divided between them. Parted by a storm they lost sight of each other, and when the Nymph reached port and found no tidings of her consort, there was sore distress, which, however, lasted only for a day, for then the Good Intent was descried coming in. Many of the immigrants, among them the parents of the boy Campbell were destined for what is now Antigonish County, and all of these were taken aboard a small shallop to be landed at Arisaig. A storm came on and the small craft was driven ashore where the Arisaig wharf now is, and wrecked. As each wave went out the men would wade ashore with the women and children on their backs. Young Campbell, then 8 years old, was placed upon the beach, it was thought in safety; but a succeeding wave carried him away. The next one washed him in again, however, and he clung to a small bush and was rescued. In 1821 he came to live in the then small hamlet of Antigonish and during the 77 years since that time, Archibald Campbell, in boyhood, manhood, and old age, was an honored and respected resident of this place. The number of men who learned the blacksmith's trade from him must be very large. For the last few years of his life he was blind - an affliction which he bore with the patient Christian fortitude which characterized his whole life. He died consoled by the last rites of Holy Church of which he was always a devout member. He leaves three sons, five daughters and a number of grandchildren to cherish his memory.
