From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 744.
City of La Crosse
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."
