Campbell, Albert Charles
Campbell, Albert Charles , Butcher and Farmer, Palmerston Street, Riverton. Mr Campbell's butchery business was established in 1886 by his father, the late Mr Charles Campbell. On the latter's death, in 1892, Mr Campbell managed the business till June, 1903, when he took it over on his own account. The building is of wood and iron, and contains a shop and office, and a small-goods room. The slaughter-house is on the Riverton-Thornbury road, on a section of about thirty acres ot leasehold land. Mr Campbell was born, in 1879, and was educated in the Riverton district. His father and mother died when he and his four sisters were young, so that considerable responsibility devolved upon him early in life. Mr Campbell served for five years as a volunteer in the Southland Mounted Rifles.
