  	1956, Thursday February 23, The Almonte Gazette, page 4 ?b?Miss Mary J. Cameron?/b? An impressive tribute was paid to the memory of Miss Mary J. Cameron at her funeral which was held on Tuesday, Feb 21st, at one p.m., at Hulse and Playfair Chapel, Ottawa. Miss Cameron had been in failing health for several months and she died in Ottawa Civic Hospital on Saturday afternoon, Feb 18th. Born and educated in Almonte, she was a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Robert Cameron. She was a member of the secretarial staff at the Prime Minister's office from 1916 until her retirement in 1941, and commenced her duties there when Sir Robert Borden was Prime Minister. Previous to that time, she had been in the Department of the Interior. Most of her life was spent in Ottawa, but following her retirement she and her sister, Miss Elizabeth, went to live in Victoria for several years, returning to Almonte where they have since resided on Union Street. She is survived by two sisters, Miss Elizabeth of Almonte and Isobel, Mrs R.H. MacNeill of Sherridon, Man., and several nieces and nephews. Among the large number of friends and acquaintances who attended the funeral to pay their last respects to the memory of one who was held in very high regard were former associates in the Civil Service who remembered her unfailing courtesy and helpfulness, especially to those who were juniors. Among her many outstanding qualities were her kindness, her cheerfulness and her unfailing sense of humour. A profusion of beautiful flowers also bore testimony to the esteem in which the deceased was held. The service was conducted by the Rev Stuart Iveson of First Baptist Church, Ottawa, of which Miss Cameron was a member. The Rev Albert Eikenaar, minister of Almonte Baptist Church, assisted. The remains were brought to Almonte and placed in the vault to await interment in the Auld Kirk Cemetery in the Spring.
