History
Dr. Archibald Daniel Campbell, or "A.D.", as he was called, was born on a Mosa, Middlesex County farm on November 12, 1886, and there he spent all his early life. After attending a rural public school and Glencoe High School he went on to study medicine at McGill University. He graduated in 1911. After 2 years of interning at the Royal Victoria Hospital he went west to Alberta to practice. As World War I began, he returned east to join the Canadian Medical Service and served overseas until the end of the war. On returning home he set up a practice in Montreal and went on to become an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University and Gynecologist and Obstetrician-in-Chief at the Montreal General Hospital. He died on September 29, 1970. (From the introductory note to his autobiography, written by William Munro Campbell in March, 1989.)
