Memorial Service Held In Honor Of Serg. - Pilot Andrew Campbell (1942)
- Grace - St. Andrew's United church was crowded to capacity on Sunday
evening when people from White Lake and district, Pakenham and Arnprior
assembled in a memorial service in honor of Sergeant Pilot William Andrew
Campbell, who was killed on active service overseas on Friday, February 6th.
The congregation of White Lake United joined with Grace - St. Andrew's for this
impressive service. Rev. D. H. Woodhouse was assisted by Rev. D. Gault of
White
Lake

Training School

in a body, accompanied by the Arnprior Boy Scouts and occupied the front seats
of the church.
Flowers were placed on the altar by the Young People's Society of Grace -
St. Andrews

Rev. D. Gault read the scripture lessons from Psalm 46 and 7th chapter of
Revelations. He also lead in prayer. The choir under the direction of Miss Jane
Boyle sang an anthem.
Rev. Mr. Woodhouse, in his remarks, stated that, this was a tragic moment in
our history. Being overseas himself in the last war, he stated he knew it would
be only a matter of time till tragedy would be brought home and he would be
called upon to perform the sad duty. When great forces are locked in conflict,
he stated, it was something to be proud to be able to give to that great cause
- one who was dearest. Andrew Campbell was a model of good conduct - a type of
boy we can scarcely afford to lose, clean and of fine moral character. He knew
life was serious and lived it so. He had two homes - his parental home at
White
Lake
and with his grandmother, Mrs. Wm.
Watchorn in Arnprior, while attending school. His passing is undoubtedly a
tragic blow, yet he leaves a challenge to us to live nobly. What a pleasure to
his bereaved ones to know the life he lived. Even though sad, it was a glorious
victory, as Andrew Campbell died in the harness doing something worth while. He
responded to a good cause and has made the supreme sacrifice.

his call he was holding a position in the office of Mines and Resources in
