“This collection is made up of the correspondence of the Montgomery-Campbell family, dating from 1850 to 1964. It is divided according to family member. The bulk of the material (64/1) covers the career of Colonel Henry Montgomery-Campbell (1859-1933) O.B.E., V.D., of Apohaqui, Kings County, and Fredericton. He commanded the 8th Princess Louise Hussars, 12th Infantry Brigade; organized the 64th Battalion, C.E.F., and commanded an Imperial labor brigade overseas in World War I. His papers include his military commissions, certificates, and correspondence; official military records; personal and business correspondence; some biographical information, clippings; and photographs. Information on his wife, Laura (Winslow) Montgomery-Campbell (1864-1953) is also included.
The papers of Henry’s brother, Brigadier-General Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (1861-1937) are found in 64/2. He attended the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, and was commissioned with the Royal Artillery in the Imperial Army. He served in Africa during the Boer War; in India; and commanded the 46th Divisional Artillery in the Great War. He was wounded in 1918, and at the close of his military career lived at Kelston Park, Bath, England. Included in this section are his military papers, biographical information; clippings, and photographs.
Other family members represented in the collection are Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (son of Henry) who was killed in World War I; Constance Montgomery-Campbell (daughter of Henry); and Sophia Storie (Saunders) Montgomery-Campbell (mother of Henry and Herbert). Additional items, which relate to the family in general are clippings; photographs; papers relating to “Fox Hill” at Apohaqui; and the sale of lands in Fredericton. Herbert and Henry Montgomery-Campbell were great-grandsons of Captain John Saunders, Loyalist and Chief Justice of New Brunswick–hence the frequent reference to the “Saunders” name in this collection.
The Montgomery-Campbell photographs are described in this series and have been transferred to the Photograph Section.
