  	1945, Thursday October 11, The Almonte Gazette, front page ?b?Former Almonte Teacher Passes?/b? 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.
