LIEUT. ALEXANDER CAMERON, of La Crosse, at the age of 32 years, died at the 
residence of his father, in Caledonia, N. Y., on Monday morning, April 11, 
1864, at 11 o'clock A. M. The La Crosse Republican of the 13th said: "His 
death was this morning announced in the Citcuit Court by the Hon. William 
Hull, after which the court adjourned until to-morrow, in token of the respect 
entertained for the memory of the deceased. A meeting of the La Crosse bar, of 
which Mr. Cameron was a member, will be holden this evening at the office of 
Messrs. Lyndes & Burroughs. This completes the record of one who, in all the 
relations of life, sustained a good reputation, and performed well his part. 
As a son, brother, friend, citizen, counsellor and soldier, he has ever been 
faithful to his trust. As a Christian, he enjoyed, to the hour of his 
departure from earthly scenes, the sweetest consolation which a merciful 
Providence vouchsafes to his chosen sons. Lieut. Cameron's life was sacrificed 
to his zeal, in returning to army duties before he had recovered strength, 
after illness contracted while serving his country as Lieutenant in the La 
Crosse Battery. Thus has the community lost another valuable citizen in 
consequence of this terrible rebellion against a good government."
