I've been away a few days or would have jumped in earlier.

Below is the obit for Margaret (MacFarlane) Cameron from the Casket.

You'll find more on both the Cameron and MacFarlane families at my website
below.

Cameron, Margaret861904-11-8
(McFarlane)

At Middle South River, on Sunday, 7th July, at the age of eighty six
years, Margaret McFarlane, relict of the late Alexander Cameron (Red),
leaving one son and one daughter, the latter being Sister John Baptist,
Mount St. Vincent, Halifax, N.S. The deceased always noted for her fervent
piety, had been in feeble health for a number of years past, a period, which
she passed in an edifying preparation for the final summons which doubtless
found her justified to enter into the joys awaiting the faithful. May her
soul rest in peace!

Regards,
Don MacFarlane

Joe:

This is great, thanks for all this help. So you think Bella & Angus are the

children of his marriage to Margaret McFarlane? Wait a minute, his first
wife was Ann remember? Donald & Ann (in the subject line) above. Who is
Isabella Cameron?

Bonnie
