Harrison Cameron Dies Following Illness Of Year's Duration

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.

Loyl James Cameron

One of the earliest names encountered when starting my research was Loyl Cameron.  A cousin (1st cousin 2x removed) and member of the LDS Church, included Loyl/Loyal as the son of my great-grandparents, Donald and Anna (Cameron) Cameron in the LDS database.  I was excited to see my family included (this was circa 1987) and also puzzled because Loyl was born in May of 1900, and my grandmother, Beatrice, whose parents were Donald and Anna, was born on the 4th of July 1900. Clearly, Loyl was misplaced.  I wrote a letter to this cousin (she was in her 80's and it was 1987) and thought the matter would be quickly resolved.  Nope.  The cousin insisted that I was mistaken and that was the end of that as far as she was concerned.
