CHOSE HIS OWN GRAVE. Campbell of Aocbendarroch Laid to Rest.
The funeral took place on Wednesday of Mr Alastair Magnus Campbell of Auchendarroch, who died at his residence, near Ardrishaig, on Sunday. The deceased, who was 61 years of age, was the eldest son of the late Mr Archibald Campbell of Auchendarroch, and succeeded to the estate as heir of entail on the death of his grandfather, Alexander Campbell of Auchendarroch, in 1902. Some years ago Auchendarroch was purchased by the present proprietors, and Mrs James Kenneth, and is now known as Oakfield estate.
At the service in Christ Church. Lochgilphead, conducted by the rector, Rev. F. b. Strother, there was a congregation drawn from all parts of the county. The mourners motored as far Oakfield House, from where the coffin, draped in deceased’s plaid, and bearing his balmoral, was carried up a winding arboreal path to the old nursery, while Pipe-Sergeant Crawford, of the 8th A. and S.H., played laments.
Here among the pines and firs, in a spot selected by himself, Auchendarroch was laid to rest.
