Wilfred Campbell

Died in 1918

William Wilfred Campbell (1860-1918), born in Upper Canada, the son of an Anglican clergyman, grew up in Wiarton, on Georgian Bay. He first followed his father's path: he studied in Toronto and then in Massachusetts, was ordained in 1885, and served parishes in New Hampshire, New Brunswick and then Ontario, until religious doubts and material setbacks made him leave the ministry in 1891. He then entered the civil service in Ottawa, where, with Archibald Lampman and Duncan Campbell Scott, he wrote a column for the Toronto Globe. A fervent imperialist, he died there of pneumonia.
