Donald & Clara (Mainprize) Cameron

I don't really know much about my great-uncle, Donald Cameron, except that he married Clara Mainprize and they adopted a son. Donald was the son of Donald & Anna (Cameron) Cameron.

Clara was the daughter of Robert & Martha (Wallace) Mainprize. Robert was the son of William & Sarah (Vermilyea) Mainprize of Hastings, Ontario, Canada. Robert married Martha Wallace in Midland County, Michigan, in 1916.
