From the time of his graduation Dr. Campbell was on the teaching
staff of Bishop’s College, first as demonstrator of anatomy,
to which he was appointed in 1897, and later as professor of
surgery. For many years he was on the consulting staff of the
Montreal Dispensary and was one of the assistant surgeons of the
Western Hospital, in which institution he was greatly interested.
He was likewise an examiner for the New York Life Insurance
Company.
A feature in his professional connections was his service as
surgeon for seventeen years of the Fifth Royal Scots of Canada,
in which regiment he was very popular. At one time he was
president of Bishop’s Medical College Graduates’ Society and he
was physician to several fraternal societies. He also belonged to
the Montreal Medico-Chirurgical Society and along more strictly
social lines he was connected with the Metropolitan Club, the
Montreal Military Institute and the Montreal Amateur Athletic
Association. Of the latter he was a life member and was captain
of the Bicycle Club of that organization.
Dr. Campbell was married in Montreal in 1892 in St. Paul’s
Presbyterian church to Miss Marion May Fletcher, a daughter of
Henry Fletcher, who for thirty years was tide surveyor of the
port of Montreal, and his wife, whose maiden name was Margaret
Ann McInnes. Dr. and Mrs. Campbell became parents of two
children: Gladys Agnes and Edith Margaret. The family circle
was broken by the hand of death when on the 31st of May, 1904,
Dr. Campbell passed away. Speaking of him at this time a fellow
graduate of Bishop’s College said: “He was a fine fellow. I
think I can safely say that I never heard anyone speak ill of
him. He was kind and thoughtful and devoted himself to his work.
In fact, I fear that he worked too hard on account of that
conscientiousness which would not allow of his neglecting any
seeming duty. He will be greatly missed, not only by his fellow
practitioners, but by all who knew him and respected him.”
ROBERT KURCZYN LOVELL.
While Robert Kurczyn Lovell entered upon a business already
established, he has displayed the enterprise and determination
which are among his salient characteristics in the methods which
he has followed in conducting his business affairs. Montreal
numbers him among her native sons, but he comes of Irish and
German ancestry. He is the eldest son of the late John Lovell,
who was a prominent publisher of Montreal from 1835 until his
death in 1893. His mother is Mrs. Sarah Lovell, a daughter of N.
P. M. Kurczyn, who was a German merchant of Montreal.
