Harrison Cameron of this city passed. away at Mercy Hospital Thursday evening of last week at 5 o'clock after having been ill for over a year and most of that time a patient at Mercy Hospital. Following an operation performed over a year age he seemed to gradually improve until a week preceding his death, when he began to fail. Mr. Cameron was a patient sufferer, being rarely heard to complain. During his stay at the hospital he was converted to the catholic faith and his funeral was held at St Mary's church Saturday morning, Rev. Fr. A. O. Bosler singing the high mass of requiem. The remains were taken on the noon train to Standish and were laid to rest in St. John's cemetery beside the remains of a son who died in infancy. Harrison Albert Cameron was born Feb. 26, 1859 in Province of Ontario, Canada, and in 1893 was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Lynch at Cleveland, Ohio. To the union was born seven children, six of whom survive. On coming to Michigan the family made their home in Standish for a number of yeas, and before coming to Grayling ten years ago they resided in Frederic for a brief time. Mr. Cameron, owing to his ill health had been forced to give up his work at the du Pont plant, for which company he had been employed since its
establishment in Grayling. He was said to be a faithful and conscientious worker, at all times. Those surviving the deceased are his wife and his children, Mrs. Joseph Corrigan of Bay City Miss Oral Cameron training for nurse at Harper Hospital training school, Detroit, Clare, teacher of the Sigsbee school and Meredith, Ivan and Leola at home,many Also three brothers survive, James of this city, Jess of Standish and Donald of Northland, Mich. Besides the above named Mr, Joseph Corrigan of Bay City came to be in attendance at the funeral.
Mr. Cameron had a large circle of friends in Grayling and also his former home of Standish, all of whom sympathize with the bereaved family in their loss of a devoted husband and father.

Some Arenac County Probate Files (Index)
*Realized as I was composing this blog that even though I have copies of Richard Cameron's probate file from Arenac County, Michigan (see link above), I'm not sure that Folio 88 is the correct number because I don't have the file/folio number written down...Geez... . [Believe it's the only file for Richard Cameron, but will have to verify it]
viii. Ewen (Hugh) CAMERON was born on 19 Jun 1860. He died on 23 Feb 1929. Was a batchelor, died of acute indigestion. Probate records included distribution of oil well rights to family membersNote: My grandmother [Beatrice (Cameron) Powers; her father Donald was Ewen's brother] was an heir; when she died her portion of Ewen (Hugh) Cameron's estate was inherited by me and my siblings (Dad pre-deceased his mother by a couple of months, so what would have been his share passed to us). The shares are basically worthless in terms of money, but the documentation determining Ewen (Hugh) Cameron's heirs is valuable to a genealogist.

Photo From Nancy Cameron's 86th Birthday Celebration In 1908
Laurel K. sent the group photo taken at Grandma Cameron's 86th birthday celebration to me. Also sent was a photocopy of the picture that identified (or tentatively identified) persons in the photograph. Aunt Barb assisted by identifying some of the birthday party participants.
Perhaps the Arenac Independent newspaper has an article about Nancy Cameron's birthday celebration listing the attendees.

This is where it gets interesting....and confusing....and..... . Still working on who was related to whom.

The Donald Cameron who married Grace Cameron was the brother of Ewan Cameron. Grace Cameron was the daughter of Adj. John & Susannah Cameron. Their (Donald & Grace's) descendants are listed below:
