Old Colonists — Mr. Donald Cameron

Old Colonists.

Mr. Donald Cameron was born in Ross-shire, Scotland, in 1819, and came to Nelson in the ship “Mariner” in 1850. After seven years' experience as a shepherd he settled at Saltwater Creek. For a number of years he was interested in small coasting vessels, which ran to the Creek. Subsequently he became a storekeeper, and also acted as postmaster for twenty-seven years. Mr. Cameron had a store at Amberley for some time. He was married, in 1858, to a daughter of the late Mr. J. Crampton, of County Wicklow. Ireland.
