WM.
L. CAMERON PASSES
Very genuine expressions of
regret are head in Simcoe among the friends of William L. Cameron,
who died at his home in Toronto at four a.m. last Thursday.
Mr. Cameron lived in Simcoe
for some years, during which time he conducted the Norfolk and
Melbourne Hotels in turn, the latter of which he owned at the time
of his death.
Mr. Cameron suffered from
an attack of illness two and three weeks ago, that at that time
was thought to be a slight stroke. He had rapidly recovered from
its effects however, and on Wednesday evening he was in good
spirits and apparently good health, and partook of a hearty
dinner. He retired early. At midnight he was discovered prostrated
and in violent pain from valvular heart trouble. Medical
assistance was unavailing and he passed out, as above stated,
before dawn.
The funeral, under Masonic
auspices, took place at Blenheim, his old home, where his mother
still resides.
Deceased was in his 60th
year. Since leaving Simcoe he has resided in Toronto, where he
represented Brenner Bros., the well-known London cigar firm.
A widow, three
daughters, Mrs. Walter S. McCall of Simcoe, Mrs. D. Smith of Toronto, and Miss Kate, and two sons, Jack of
Toronto, and Bruce of the Bank of Commerce, Woodstock, survive.
