Events of the Week
The Late Mr Douglas Campbell
Heir-Presumptive to the Dukedom of Argyll
We regret to announce the death of Mr. Douglas Walter Campbell, cousin and heir presumptive of the Duke of Argyll, which occurred at Montana, Switzerland, on Tuesday of last week. Mr Campbell, who was in his forty-nineth year, was born on 6th March. 1877. He was the only son of the late Lord Walter Campbell, who was the third son of the eighth Duke, the Victorian statesman and author of "The Reign of Law," and a younger brother of the ninth Duke, the husband of H.R.H. Princess Louise. Mr Campbell's mother, who died in 1892, was Olivia Rowlandson, only daughter of Mr John Clarkson Milns, of Asory House, Bute. He was sent to Charterhouse, and his father died when he was 12. He afterwards went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, and then studied in Germany.
When the Great War broke out he served with the 30th Lancers (Indian Cavalry) in the Indian Expeditionary Force, and was later Intelligence Officer, Indian Cavalry Corps, and then in the Intelligence Department of the British Expeditionary Force. He was fond of sport, particularly racing, yachting, cricket, and golf.
Mr Campbell married, first, in 1899, Aimée Marie Susanne, daughter of the late Mr John Lawrence, of New York; she died in 1920, leaving one son, Ian Douglas, born in 1903, who now becomes heir-presumptive to the dukedom. Mr Campbell married secondly, Leilah Elizabeth Lutley, widow of Judge Harington Morgan, Civil Judge in the Sudan, and only daughter of Dr. Philip Lutley Sclater, F.R.S., of Odiham Priory, Hants., Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and brother of the first Lord Basing.
Mr Campbell had a residence at Upper Sonachan, Dalmally.
It is an interesting fact that although the eighth Duke of Argyll left five married sons, there are now only two male descendants living, the present Duke and the new heir-presumptive. The present Duke is the son of Lord Archibald Campbell, second son of the eigth Duke. [1]
