"The Journal
GRAHAMSTOWN (CAPE OF GOOD HOPE), MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1884.

DR. A.G. CAMPBELL. – On Friday last (12th December) at the residence of Mr. Spindler, North-End, Dr. Ambrose George Campbell breathed his last while seated in his chair. The deceased had attained the ripe old age of 85 years, but retained his faculties to the last. He was out walking a few hours before his death. In his last moments he was attended by his old friend Dr. Thom, who saw him peacefully expire. At one time no one was better known in the Colony than Dr. Campbell, who for many years, when a successful practitioner in Grahamstown, took an active part in public life. He was a man of considerable ability, but his zeal was not tempered with knowledge. He had occasionally dabbled (says the E.P. Herald) in newspaper work, and when he did so was apt to get both himself and his friends into trouble. Of late years however he troubled himself little with politics or public affairs, and lived a retired life, his vigorous constitution and healthy frame retaining all their faculties to the last moment."
