I've "rescued" an old photograph of John CAMERON which was taken at the
Craves Studio in East Troy, Wisconsin. The photograph appears to have been
taken in the 1880's with John likely in his teens at the time. Based on
limited research I was able to locate a possible match in census records as
follows:
1870 census of Pembroke, NY:
Duncan CAMERON, age 50, a Farmer, born Scotland
Susan CAMERON, age 29, Keeping House, born NY
Mary CAMERON, age 11, at School, born NY
Frank CAMERON, age 9, at School, born NY
Angus CAMERON, age 7, at School, born NY
William CAMERON, age 6, at School, born NY
John CAMERON, age 3, born NY
Sydney BOKER, age 17, a Farm Laborer, born VA
1880 census of Troy, WI:
Duncan CAMERON, age 64, born Scotland, a Farmer, parents born Scotland
Susan CAMERON, wife, age 37, born NY, Keeping House, parents born NY
Mary CAMERON, dau, age 20, born NY
James A. CAMERON, son, age 17, born NY, Works on Farm
John CAMERON, son, age 14, born NY, Works on Farm
I am hoping to locate someone from John's family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
