D. Campbell was an employee of Bridge & Penn, a Montreal firm that arranged auctions of estates and merchandise.

Duncan Campbell was born on April 3, 1818, in Oban, Scotland.

He was a journalist and historian. He began his career in journalism as editor of the Glasgow Argus and editorial writer for the Daily Bulletin, the first penny daily established in Scotland. In 1862, on a commission of the Glasgow Road Reform Association, he lectured throughout Scotland on the-abolition of the archaic toll system. In 1866, shortly before the confederation of Nova Scotia, Campbell conducted a large group of Scottish emigrants to Halifax and he was commissioned to survey Nova Scotia as a potential home for immigrants. The survey aroused in him a profound interest in Nova Scotia history and he wrote two books "Nova Scotia, in its Historical, Mercantile and Industrial Relations" (1873) and "History of Nova Scotia, for Schools" (1877). In 1875, he published "History of Prince Edward Island". During the two decades in which he resided in Nova Scotia, he was engaged in a variety of occupations. He worked as a reporter on the Halifax Morning Chronicle (1869-1870) and as secretary of the Halifax Industrial Commission. He also worked as a bookkeeper but eventually devoted himself to historical writing. He was also a frequent contributor to the local press of articles and letters dealing with topics of public interest. He was the author of a prize essay which was published in the Nova Scotian Journal of Agriculture.

He married Mary Stewart. He died on August 26, 1886, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Edith Campbell was born on December 12, 1871, in Montreal, Quebec.

She was a Canadian nurse. Her father and uncle were both physicians, and her grandfather, Francis Wayland Campbell, was dean of the Medical Faculty of Bishop's College. In 1907, she graduated from the School of Nursing at New York's Presbyterian Hospital and subsequently worked in Manhattan and Montreal. In September 1914, she enlisted in the Canadian Army Medical Corps. She was one of the first Canadian nurses to arrive in England to assist in the establishment of the Duchess of Connaught Canadian Red Cross Hospital, a field hospital in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, where Sir William Osler was the head physician. In April 1915, she was appointed its inaugural matron. Campbell served during World War I in both England and France, earning several medals, including the 1914 Star, the Royal Red Cross, first class (1915), the Military Medal (1918), the British War Medal, the Victory Medal and the 1935 Jubilee Medal. She was also twice mentioned in dispatches. After the war, Campbell served as superintendent of the Toronto Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses, retiring in 1934. Her medals and several of her personal items are held by the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario.

She died on February 22, 1951, in Montreal, Quebec.

George William Campbell was born on October 16, 1810, in Rosneath, Scotland.

He was a physician, educator, and businessman. He was educated by a tutor at his home before studying medicine for one year in Dublin. He completed medical school in Glasgow, graduating MD in 1833. The same year he immigrated to Montreal, where he practised medicine for the remainder of his life. In 1835, Campbell became Professor of Surgery at McGill College, an appointment he retained until 1875 (when he received an honorary LL.D. from the college), and Professor of Midwifery (a chair he relinquished in 1842). In 1835, he was also elected attending physician and surgeon to the Montreal General Hospital. In 1860, he became the Dean of the McGill medical faculty. His strengths in his medical career were surgical skill and administrative ability. From 1869 until his death, he was a Director of the Bank of Montreal, and its Vice-President from 1876 to 1882. He also held directorships in the Montreal Telegraph Company and the Montreal Gas Company and was associated as an active stockholder in many local and national business ventures.
