Butte Semi-Weekly Miner (MT), 23 April 1887
Buried By The G.A.R. and I.O.O.F
The funeral of Dan Cameron took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock under the auspices of the G.A.R. and Odd Fellows. The body was committed to the grave with military honors by Lincoln Post and the ceremony was completed according to the Odd Fellow ritual.
In conversation with a friend of the deceased, it was learned that Cameron had been a great sufferer from nasal catarrh for ten years. He had a very severe attack of it, and he felt it an affliction to himself and others. Last year he went with the G.A.R. post to the California convention and stayed a month after he left and felt so much benefitted by it that he came back and closed out his businesses here to Chris Nessler with the intention of returning. He had his arrangements completed to leave next week when his sudden death supervened and disposed of him finally.
