Mrs. Mary Main Cameron, the beloved
wife of Mr.. j. P. Cameron, died at her
home in Graham, Va, Sunday morning,
Feb. II, at 2:O7 O'Clock. Her death came
as great shock to her family and friends.
Though che had not been so well since

cad news of Sabbath morning. On Sat
urday afternoon, it being such bright
warm day, she went out driving with Mr..
Cameron and expressed a desire to 90
again on the morrow if it should be pref
ty day. Shortly after her return home
she was taken sick and in spite Of the best
medical skill and loving care of husband
and friends, che sank rapidly. and at 2:O7
a. m. Sunday fell asleep in Jesus. In
her death the community suffers the loss
of kind friend and neighbor, the Church
a devoted, consecrated member, the fam
lily a most loving wife and mother.
The funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at the Presby-
terrain church, conducted by her pastor,
Rev. S. w. Moore, assisted by Rev. K. 7.
Mason. The church was filled to lie ut
most capacity by the host of friends, whom
Mrs. Cameron, by her beautiful Christian
life and sweet gentle spirit, had won DUR
ing her residence in Graham. She was
laid to rest in Maple Hill cemetery mourn
ed by family and friends. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out to the
husband and little children 80 greatly be-
reaved.
. Mrs. Cameron was born in Aberdeen,
Scotland, May, 1868, being the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander
Main. She was married to Mr.. J.P Cam.
eron, Dec. 20, 1889, and they came to
America in 1892, since which time they
have made their home in Graham.
