Obituary of Adelia, Daughter Of Lillas Cameron

Published in the Flint Journal, ca May 26, 1948:

McDonnell, Adelia, 406 W. Eldridge
Age: 51
Died: Tuesday, May 25, 1948, at the residence
Funeral from Groves & Co., Saginaw at Fifth
Reverend O. H. Hood officiating
Burial: Flint Memorial Park Cemetery
Death due to complications after a sudden illness
Born: Sterling, [Arenac Co.] Michigan, 7 March 1897
Came to Flint 29 years ago from Duluth, MN
Survived by: Husband, Alexander; son, Thomas Kilpatrick of Kalamazoo;
4 sisters: Mrs. Jessie Dean, of St. Paul, MN; Mrs. Rachel Brandt of Flint and Mrs. Inez Hagen and Mrs. Isabel Buxton of Superior, Wis.; Brother Lawrence McLaughlin of Superior, Wis; several nieces and nephews

Adelia probably never knew that her father's real name was Isaac Codling.  Her sister, Isabel, with whom I corresponded 20 plus years ago, had at that time only recently found that her father's name was not Laughlin McLaughlin.

A Widow Duped Out Of Insurance Money

Found in the Duluth News-Tribune published May 27, 1895:

 ....Mrs. Cameron was married to her deceased husband five years ago in Detroit, where he was the owner of a sash, door and blind factory.  At the time of his death, about 18 months ago, he left her the receipts of a life insurance policy amounting to $5,000.  She was first introduced to Smith at the home of a lady friend, and he at once began paying such devoted attentions to her that in a short time they came to be common talk among her circle of acquaintances.  One day a friend came to Mrs. Cameron and told her that Mr. Smith was a married man with a family.  Mrs. Cameron indignantly denied it.


Detroit Attorney Thomas J. Narvin
Conspiracy With Intent To Defraud
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Mr. Samuel D. Smith claimed estrangement from his wife; Mrs. Smith called Mrs. Cameron and concurred.  Mr. Smith said there was a divorce in the works but the information was suppressed from public view. At that time Mrs. Cameron had $2,500.00 in the Wayne County Savings Bank [Detroit] she converted into a certificate of deposit.  She gave Mr. Smith $350.00 in cash.  On April 17th Mr. Smith took the certificate of deposit from Mrs. Cameron for safekeeping; that was the last Mrs. Cameron saw the CD.  Mr. Smith and Mrs. Cameron arrived in Duluth a few days later.  Mr. Smith had Mrs. Cameron write her maiden name, [Mary] Emma Schatzell (or Schotzel), her current name, Mrs. Cameron and her hoped to be future name, Mrs. Smith.  Using those signatures, the real Mrs. Smith converted the certificate of deposit.

Additional information here in the May 28, 1895, edition of the Duluth News-Tribune about the Smith residence in Detroit.

The news in the Duluth News-Tribune of October 21, 1895, stated that Mrs. Smith confessed that she and her husband conspired to rob Mrs. Cameron.

Newspaper account of Mrs. Cameron's suicide attempt

A. H. & Minnie Cameron were witnesses to the marriage between Normal/Noral/Norval (age 53, born in Ohio, son of Robert and Sarah Cameron) and Mary E. Franklyn Schatzell (age 40, born in Ohio) on March 19, 1891, in Detroit, Wayne Co., Michigan.

Camerons: Ewen & Jane And Donald & Grace

Ewen & Jane Cameron of Templeton, Canada, who died of cholera in the summer of 1852 had two sons, John Cameron, born in 1829 and Allan Randolph Cameron, born in 1831. They were married 31 January 1827 in Lochliel, Glengarry, Canada.

Allen Randolph Cameron immigrated to Victoria, Australia, around 1860, mined gold fields there and married Annie Kelly in 1868.

It is believed that my ancestor, Allen Cameron, was the grand-uncle of John Cameron & Allan Randolph Cameron. Was he related through their mother or their father or both? This is where it gets interesting....and confusing....and..... . Still working on who was related to whom. Would one of the descendants of Donald/Grace Cameron be able to shed light on the family relationships?

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:

Any descendants of Donald & Grace out there?

Some Descendants Of James & Julia (Dunning) Cameron

At least one known son of James & Julia (Dunning) Cameron, James, Jr., (the others were Asa and Christopher) moved to Michigan, ca 1860, according to the 1920 MI Census. His parents, James & Julia, came later (because they were probably in Houghton, Norfolk, Ontario, in 1861).

In 1870, Asa and Christopher Cameron were living with their parents, James & Julia, in Riley, St. Clair Co., Michigan. Next door were Charles, age 23, Margaret*, age 21, and James Patterson, age 1. Asa Cameron was also enumerated as a single sawmill worker living with other workers in Caseville, Huron Co., MI, in 1870. [Asa married Udora (Debby) Patterson].

*Margaret was Margaret Cameron, daughter of James & Julia (Dunning) Cameron who was enumerated with them in the 1861 census. Carrie Patterson, born in 1874, in St. Clair Co., was the daughter of Charles & Margaret (Cameron) Patterson. The Pattersons were probably living in Sanilac Co., MI, in 1900. Margaret married 2nd George Cornell, in Livingston Co., Michigan, on August 1, 1914, when she was 65 years old. Her parents were listed as James Cameron and Julia Dunning on the marriage record. Margaret, age 66, married 3rd Thomas Clement, age 55, in Port Huron, St. Clair Co., MI, on 31 July 1918; James W. & Annie E. G. Patterson were the witnesses.

Asa Lawrence Cameron & Debby Patterson were married on 17 May 1871; Lewis & Margaret Fisher were the witnesses and E. Klumph, minister of the gospel performed the marriage in Lake, Huron Co., MI

Asa & Debby were living in St. Clair County, Michigan, in the 1880 Census:

1880 MI Census, St. Clair, MI, Wales
Asa CAMERON Self M W 31 CAN Farmer CAN CAN
Deby CAMERON Wife M W 27 CAN Keeping House CAN CAN
John CAMERON Son S W 8 MI At School CAN CAN
Archy CAMERON Son S W 6 MI At School CAN CAN
Lewis CAMERON Son S W 4 MI At Home CAN CAN

Debby Cameron died December 3, 1891, at St. Helen, Roscommon Co., Michigan, age 40, born in Ontario, though her parents were named as William & Hannah Harrison, not Patterson on her death record. Was she Asa's wife? He remarried in 1894, so she probably was the person who died in 1891. We know from other records that Asa & Debby were living in Roscommon County in that time frame.

There was an Archie Cameron and a Lewis Cameron, both born in Michigan, who were living in St. Louis County, Minnesota, in 1910. Archie was 36, a widower, and working for the police in Virginia City. Lewis, age 35, a saloon keeper, married 8 years, was a boarder with M. Chee as was his wife, Carrie M. Cameron, who was born in Wisconsin. They may be the sons of Asa & Debby Cameron.

A death record for Asa Cameron's daughter, Ethel Deborah/Udora Knox (1888-1911) was found. She was born at St. Helen, Roscommon Co., Michigan and died in Munising, Alger County, Michigan. Ethel Cameron married John Knox (6 May 1908); the witnesses were William Clark & Grace Cameron.

Grace Cameron was born in 1890 to Asa & Debby Cameron, in St. Helen, Roscommon Co., Michigan.

Asa & Debby Cameron were the parents of Manley Cameron who was born in Roscommon Co., MI, in 1885. Manley was married in Munising, Michigan.

Asa & Debby also had Eva Cameron who was born on 16 July 1888.

John P. Cameron (b. 1872) was a son of Asa & Debby (Patterson) Cameron according to the record of his marriage to Stella Cornish on 1 November 1916 (his 2nd marriage). The record stated that John was born in Port Huron, Michigan. His father's name was listed as Ace L. Cameron on the record.

Asa Cameron married 2nd Carrie E. Van Amberg on 6 December 1894, in Livingston Co., Michigan. Asa was living in Roscommon Co., MI, at the time of his marriage. The marriage record stated that Asa had no prior marriages and that Carrie had one -- the information was probably reversed since her name on the marriage record corresponded with her father's surname. C. W. & Jeannette Barber were the witnesses and C.C. Miller was the clergyman.

Chestey (Christopher) Cameron, b. ca 1838 was on line #9 of Page #35.

Christopher Cameron, born Nov 1837, was enumerated in Robinson Twp., Ottawa Co., Michigan, in 1900. He was living with his brother, James (b. Jan. 1841), his sister-in-law, Marion (nee Allen), and their family Hugh E., John J., and Myrtle and also Evan**, a grandson of James & Marion's who was born on Jan. 1893. James & Marion had been married for 35 years and were the parents of 9 children with 7 living in 1900.

**Evan Cameron, age 18, was the son of Wallace & Sarah (Rogers) Cameron per his (Evan's) marriage record, dated Sept 26, 1911, which took place in Gladstone, Delta Co., Michigan.

Obituary of Margaret (Cameron) McMillan

Obituary of Margaret (Cameron) McMillan, the wife of Duncan T. McMillan, who died 2 January 1916 in Munising, Alger Co., Michigan:

DEMISE OF MRS. MCMILLAN - The death of Mrs. Margaret Cameron McMillan, wife of D.T. McMillan, occurred at an early hour last Sunday morning, January 2, 1916, at her home in Munising, Mich. Four years ago Mrs. McMillan was ill of typhoid fever and from that time she has been a great sufferer. The late Mrs. McMillan was born at Buckingham, Quebec, Canada, and was married to D.T. McMillan June 9, 1872. She has been a resident of Munising the past twenty years with the exception of one and a half years which she spent at Duluth, Minn. Mrs. McMillan has visited her daughter, Mrs. Frasier, here several times and has made many warm friends who will be sorry to hear of her demise. Although she has been a constant sufferer the past four years she never complained and was always cheerful with her family, friends and neighbors. All that medical aid and kind and loving hands could do to alleviate the suffering and prolong the life so near and dear to all was done but to no avail as the angel of death came to release the soul from the weary worn out body and give it the first breath of life which our souls draw when born anew in the morning land. Besides her husband Mrs. McMillan leaves five children, Mrs. Frasier, Waldo; Hugh of Munising; Walter, Portland, Oregon; Sam of Duluth, Minn; and Thomas of Munising. She is also survived by nine grandchildren. The funeral services were held at the house at two o'clock and 2:30 at the First Presbyterian church where she was one of the oldest members, Rev. Austin officiating. The choir sang "Shall we gather at the River" and Beautiful Isle of Somewhere: and Mrs. H. H. McMillan sang a solo, "His Will Be Done." The floral tributes were beautiful. By her family she was regarded as a faithful wife, a devoted mother and was beloved by her neighbors who knew her best. The body was laid to rest in Maple Grove cemetery.

Margaret (Cameron) McMillan was the daughter of Archibald (b. 1808) & Nancy (McMillan) Cameron (b. Dec 1819). Nancy McMillan was the daughter of John B. & Elizabeth (Graham) McMillan. [Information and obituary courtesy of her descendant, Scott M.]
