He was buried in the same casket as fellow firemen Samuel Ash, P .J. Norling, and David Moses

''Was one of 57 people were killed in an explosion in Butte Montana on 15 Jan 1895. Short services were held over the grave in which Chief Cameron and Firemen Ash, Moses and Norling and Officer Krambeck were laid to rest. Always together in life, always fighting fire side by side, no matter what the peril, Cameron, Moses, Ash and Norling are united in death. They lived together, they fought fire side by side for years, they met death together; brave men, heroes every one of them, and their heroic remains were carried to the cemetery In one casket and placed for all eternity in one grave.''--Obituaries of the Intermountain West by Michael & Mickie Sheppard
