Malcolm Cameron (1808-1876) - Canadian Politician

Being a native and resident of Sarnia, ON Canada, I would think myself remiss if I did not jump at the chance to obtain a photograph of one of Sarnia's founding fathers when it arose.  Fortunately for me, an opportunity did arise just recently and below is the happy result.

























From the collection of John Rochon

This carte de visite portrait by Ellisson & Co. of Quebec would date to the early part of the 1860's.  Mr. Cameron had a long and distinguished political career - to find out more, follow this link to his page in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography  http://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?BioId=38997
