Mr. Stewart Campbell , Manager of the Colac Bay Flax Mill, was born, in 1871, at Brighton, on the Taieri, and educated at Outram. After leaving school he took to engine-driving, and now holds a first-class certificate as a driver of stationary engines, as well as certificates for locomotives and portable engines. Mr Campbell was for three years manager of a dairy factory, at West Taieri, and for three years engineer on the Empire Company's dredge at Waipori, and afterwards bought a threshing plant, which he ran only for one season. He was then appointed engineer at the Colac Bay flax mill, and, later, manager. Mr Campbell served as a member of the Tuapeka Mounted Rifles for about eighteen months.
