Mrs Robt Cameron Dies At Ottawa In Her 99th Year. One of Ottawa's oldest and most respected residents and a leading figure in Baptist Church circles during a long period of her life, Mrs Robert Cameron died on Friday at her residence, 122 Argyle Ave. She was in her 99th year. Born at Bonnechere Point, Renfrew County, Mrs Cameron was a daughter of the late Matthew Anderson and Janet Turnbull. The family moved to Almonte when Mrs Cameron was only five years old. She received her education here and became a member of the Public School staff under the principal of the late J.M. Munro. It was a coincidence when 91 years of age, she received a visit from two of her early pupils who were 79 and 82 years old respectively. Some of her pupils are still residents in Almonte. She was married to the late Robert Cameron and lived in Almonte for many years, coming to Ottawa on the death of her husband in 1909. She is survived by four daughters, Jessie, Mrs R. Chisholm, Almonte; Isabel, Mrs R.H. MacNeill, Cold Lake, Man; and Misses Elizabeth and Mary of Ottawa. Messrs P.A.E. Young, W.A. Young of Almonte and J.H. Young of Ottawa and Mrs J.G. Etherington are nephews and nieces. Of her father's family, Mr M.M. Anderson of Ottawa is the last remaining member. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from the parlours of G.H. Rogers Ltd. and interment was in the Auld Kirk Cemetery, service being conducted by Rev Mr. Quiggan of MacPhail Memorial Baptist Church and was largely attended by many friends and acquaintances. The floral tributes were most numerous and were a testimony to the esteem in which the deceased was held. Among those who attended from out of town were N./S. Jean Chisholm of Montreal Military Hospital; Miss Susie Cameron of Beachburg and Mrs J.R. Chisholm of the Public School staff of Pembroke, Ont. A number of friends accompanied the cortege to Almonte where several people of town met it at the cemetery.

The deceased, whose maiden name was Janet Turnbull, was born at Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, Scotland, on May 28th, 1818, and her death came on the day exactly midway between her eighty-seventh and eighty-eight birthdays. She was married at Neilston, in Scotland, on June 7th, 1841, to Mr Matthew Anderson, and with him she came to Canada in the same year. For eleven years they resided at Bonnechere Point and Clarendon, coming to Almonte in 1852, when the place was known as Shipman's Mills. Since then Mrs Anderson's home has been in the town, which she has seen grow from a mere hamlet to its present size and importance, and could tell many interesting stories of the hardships and privations suffered by the settlers of the early days. A family of eleven children, four of whom are dead, were born to Mr and Mrs Anderson. Of these, Anne, (Mrs P. Young, town); Margaret (Mrs Andrew Forgie, Toronto); Jessie (Mrs Robt Cameron, town); William, Ottawa; Matthew, Cache Bay; James, Jersey City, N.Y., and Mary, at home,, are still living. Those who are dead, are Robert, who was drowned; Elizabeth, who died thirty years ago; James and Catherine. There are also thirty grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Mrs Anderson became a member of the Presbyterian church and an ardent worker in it as long as she was able to attend. Some years ago the W.F.M.S. of St John's church, Almonte, with which she was identified, made her a life member of the society in recognition of the interest she had always taken in the mission work of the church. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended.
