Campbell, Neil, Farmer, Roxburgh Farm, Springburn. Mr. Campbell was born in 1845, in the Island of Coll, Argyleshire, Scotland. In 1859 he came to New Zealand with his parents in the ship “Alpine,” which landed at Dunedin. Shortly after his arrival he entered the employment of Mr. Donald Reid, auctioneer, of Dunedin, for a short time, while his father was looking about for a suitable farm, very little land being open at the time for selection. When the rush to Gabriel's Gully took place he went there in quest of gold as one of a party of twelve, but was not very successful. After that he went to work on his father's farm at Moeraki, where he remained for eleven years, when he left the farm and started a general store and bakery at Hampden. Mr. Campbell carried on that business successfully for nineteen years and a half. Owing to ill-health he then sold his store and took a trip to Sydney and Melbourne, Auckland, and the baths at Rotorua. On returning from his tour he bought the Roxburgh Farm of 1,180 acres, which he uses principally for raising and fattening stock. The farm grows good crops of all kinds. While he was in North Otago Mr. Campbell was for many years a member of the Hampden Borough Council, the church committee, school committee, Hampden Cemetery Trustees, Moeraki Harbour Board, and of the North Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Association, at the shows of which he often acted in the capacity of judge. In 1878 he married Miss Herbert, who is a native of Currie, Scotland, and came to New Zealand with her parents. Five sons and three daughters have been born of the marriage.
