Clinton, Missouri, Nov 21 1903 - Death has again visited our vicinity and claimed for its victim James Monroe Cameron, a highly respected citizen, a devoted companion and a kind and loving father. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do was done to prolong life, but god's will, not ours, be done. Oh, it is sad to stand by the bedside of one whose kind hands have often ministered to our personal comforts and necessities, whose tender voice has given us words of love and counsel, which have cheered and blessed us as we traveled the rough pathway of life. We must say farewell for the soul of this dear one is about to depart the flame of life which burned so brilliant in the past and manifested itself in a thousand loving deeds is reduced to a spark and apparently is about to expire to go out into the beyond. No more shall our hearts beat with pleasure at the sound of that dear voice, no more we feel the touch of those dear hands in kind assistance of loving caress. The subject of this sketch was a sufferer for years with asthma, finally terminating into that fatal disease, consumption. Although he suffered a great deal during his sickness he was not heard to complain. He was a member of the M. E. Church, a sincere Christian his last words on the subject of dying were I have no fears for the future, it is all right. Death brings sadness and gloom over our home but the gloom is brightened and sadness removed to a great degree when we realize that there is hope in the promises of god. But still the days are dark and lonely for those who are left behind. He came to Iowa in 1856 from Iowa to Mo. In the year of 1858 returning to Iowa in 1861 where he was married to Miss Elmira Cameron. He returned to Mo. With his wife and two children in 1866, moving to his later residence in 1870. To this union were born 5 boys and 2 girls, all living but one boy, who died . Clyde living in Pueblo, Colo., Willis, near Lewis station, Allen, when last heard from was near British Columbia, Mrs. W. T. Runner, of Quarles, and Florence and Donald at home with their mother. He also leaves two sisters and one brother out of a family of 9 children to mourn this loss. Monday, Nov. 16, the funeral services were conducted at the family residence, after which he was laid to rest in the Brown Cemetery, near his home. - Another Clipping: Funeral services were conducted at the family residence Monday, November 16. for James Monroe Cameron, a highly respected citizen, who died Nov. 14, 1903, age 68.
