P. C. Vandekamer, the
wealthy Belgian who came out from The Hague in April of last year
and purchased an estate near Lynedoch to begin operations in tobacco
growing on a large scale, died at his home on Monday. The remains
will be interred at Lynedoch today with Masonic honors.
Two daughters of the
deceased who have been attending college in Guelph, came home a
fortnight ago.
Mr. Vandekamer had, before
coming to Norfolk, had a wide experience as a tobacco grower in the
middle east before coming to Canada.
He was a man of most
sanguine temperament.
Mr. Vandekamer had been
indisposed for several months and his demise was not unexpected.
