11. Margaret Nathella Sophia Campbell was born on 5 Nov 1894 in Thornbury, Ontario, Canada (daughter of Nathaniel Campbell and Margaret Jane Armstrong); died on 21 Apr 1988 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Edmonton Cemetery, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Notes:
She was referred to as 'Nathella' from birth - apparently never used
'Margaret'. The name 'Sophia' was pronounced with a long 'i' - "Sof-eye-a" -
but she did not like the name and dropped it in adulthood.
