OBITUARY: James Cameron, c1833-1895
Death of James Cameron
It was known for several weeks that Mr. James Cameron of Rock township was quite seriously ill but hopes were entertained of his recovery. Such hopes were all in vain, however, as he passed away Tuesday afternoon.
Although 62 years of age he had been an active man until a few months ago when he complained of not being well. Progressive paralysis set in finally and resulted in his death. Mr. Cameron came to this county last year and settled on a farm in Rock township which he purchased from Ole Skutle. His former home was in Winneshiek county.
He leaves a widow and two children, his son Grant being at home and his daughter is the wife of Pro. F. E. Clark, a teacher in the public schools of this city. The funeral services will be held at the house on Saturday at 10:30 conducted by Rev. Lockwood and the burial will take place in the Osage cemetery about 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
