Death of an Estimable Lady

Mrs. M.A. Cameron died at her home on Jefferson Street early Thursday morning 
of dropsy of the heart, and was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery Wednesday.  She 
was born in Talbot County on the 15th of August, 1835, being seventy-five years 
and two months of age.  The funeral was conducted Wednesday morning at her 
residence, attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.  
She had been confined to her bed for fully two months before the final call 
came.  She was a consistent member of the Methodist church and had been for a 
number of years.  She is survived by two sons, two daughters and two sisters.

Mrs. Cameron was the relic of Mr. G.C. Cameron, who preceded her several years 
ago, the daughter of Mr. W.H. Feagin, Sr., and sister of Capt. W.H. Feagin, 
Jr., the lamented sheriff of this county.

Her husband, Mr. G.C. Cameron, was the pioneer lathe tuner of this part of the 
country.  Shortly after their marriage he converted the family spinning wheel 
into the motive power for running his home constructed lathe at his shop on 
Jefferson Street, between Lee and Jackson Street, where he manufactured 
bedsteads, tables, washstands, bureaus and chairs, many of which now adorn the 
homes of the early settlers.

Truly a good woman has gone to her reward. – South Georgia Progress, Americus

Mrs. Cameron was a sister of the lamented J.A. Cameron of this place.  The 
funeral at Americus was attended by Mrs. H.J. Porter and Mr. Fay Boland, of 
Butler, near relatives of the deceased.
