Built by John McKeough in 1878, the estate property at 245 Wellington Street West in Chatham, was known as "Summerlands". Following the death of Mr. McKeough in 1899, his nephew W.E. McKeough resided here until 1925. It was in that year, over 80 years ago that the property was first used as a funeral home. W.G. Burrows one of the first funeral home operators in Chatham, and also one of Chatham's oldest businesses purchased it and turned this magnificent property into a very distinguished funeral home. In 1928, after a short partnership with Mr. Burrows and his son, Mr. Oscar Campbell took over the business and it became known as the Campbell Funeral Home.
