A wonderful person named Bev, on the MNHENNEP list has given me the following
info. This is from the 1897 Minneapolis Directory.
Cameron, Millie (widow John) resides 3244 Humboldt ave S
Cameron John, laborer Lakewood Cemetery, boards 3244 Humboldt ave S
As I suspected it looks as if John J. Cameron must have died young. He would
have been 52 in 1897. I am excited that young John is living with Millie.
In the 1880 census he is named Frank C. Cameron b. 1879. In the 1885 census
he is John Jr. b. 1879.
To see him again and alive gives me hope that he may have had a family and
that I have some Cameron cousins out there somewhere.
I would love to know if 3244 Humboldt ave S, still exists and if so what it
looks like today. I would also love to find out how I might check with
Lakewood Cemetery to see if John J. Cameron is buried there. I would be very
excited to learn an exact date of death and cause for John. If I can get his
death cert. I would be hopeful that it would have his parents information as
well as his place of birth.
It looks as though the trail is HOT again!
Thanks to ALL of you for your continued help.
Dean Cameron
