HOD, M, C, Cameron Dcad,
The Lieut. -Governor of the
`Northwest succumbs to an
attack of pneumonia.
He Dies at the Home of his Son•
in-law, Mayor Wilson, of
London, after about two
weeks' Illness.
Our readers will learn with surprise
and deep regret that M. C, Cameron is
dead. It will be all the more surpris-
ing because so few persons were aware
of his illness. After his apPoiutment
as Lieut. -Governor of the Northwest,
the writer of this met him at Clinton
station as he was en route to Regina,
to enter upon his official duties, and
congratulating him upcn the fact that
he was looking exceedinglfv well, he
jokingly remarked "'there s ten years
of good life in roe yet," and as he step-
ped on the car he certainly had the ap-
pearance of a roan who was strong in
frame and constitution. Some time
after he got to the West, rumors came
back that he was not enjoying his us-
ual health, and about two weeks ago a
rumor was circulated that be was
coming home for a rest, He arrived
at London about the 13th of Sept., and
was so weak that he had to be helped
from the car, and was taken at once to
the home of his son-in-law, Dr. Wilson,
Mayor of London, when it was found
that he was suffering from heart and
lune trouble- of an acute form. Mrs
Cameron was sent tot, and no serious
apprehensions were entertained for a
few days. While there he sent for an
old friend, Mr John Cameron, of the
Advertiser, and in conversation ex-
piessed his enthusiastic admiration of
the Northwest Territory, and his faith
in its future as a vreat agricultural
country. He was quite cheetful, and
apparently only slightly indisposed.
e had no premonition of the serious
condition into which he lapsed. He
arranged for a formal interview with
an Advertiser representative, in order
to publish his impressions of the
Northwest, but became too ill a few
days later to fulfil his intentions, and
on the 18th his condition became so
alarming that the other members of
his family, who were still at Goderich,
were telephoned for, and they want
down on Monday; he continued sink-
ing, notwithstanding the very best
medical care, and was unconscious for
48 hours before his death, which took
place on Monday morning, Sept. 26th,
at about 8 o'clock. The youngest son,
Allan, who had been living in Florida,
started north as soon as he learned that
his father was seriously ill, and only
arrived at London as they were put-
ting the body on the train to bring it
to Goderich, and that was the first in-
timation he had of his father's death.
Deceased was born in Perth, in the
Calrnty of Lanark, on the 12th of Ap.
ril, 1831. He was descended from a
Highland -Scotch family, and received
an education at Knox College, Toronto,
with the view of entering the ministry
of the Presbyterian church. After
some time, however, his mind undet-
went a change, and he felt that his vo.
cation lay in another direction. He
therefore began to read law in the of-
fice of Judge Deacon, of Renfrew, and
was called to the bar in 1860 at Easter
Term. He at once began the practis
of his profession, entering upon it with
zeal ' and a determination to take -
foremost place a', the bar, How mu
he was justified in his resolution has
been proven by his many legal achieve-
ments. In 1870 he was made a Q. C.,
and became the senior member of the
firm of Cameron, Holt & Cameron, of
Godericb. In 1856 he began his public
careers
a councillor in that town, and
held his seat for the following twelve
years, one year being Reeve and four
years the Mayor of Goderich. He
took a' leading ads g part in the establish-
ment of the extensive salt works in the
County of Huron, and was invariably
foremost in any enterprise which had
for its object the development of the
industries in this section of Ontario.
He was first elected to the House of
.Commons at Confederation, was re-el-
ected in 1872.4-8, and in 1882 was defeat-
ed by Mr Potter. He was also defeated
on one occasion by Hon. Mr Patterson
At the last general election Mr Camer-
on was again returned, and satlin the
House until the close -of the session
this year, when, on May 30, he was app -
pointed Lieut. -Governor of the North-
west Territories, to succeed the Hon.
C. H. McIntosh. He visited Regina a
couple of months since, as has been
stated, and opened the Assembly with
a lengthy address, in which he showed
