Kinston, March 28—John E. Cameron, grand master of the grand lodge of Masons of North Carolina, died at his “Rose of Sharon” home at 1 o’clock this morning. He was 59 years of age and the head of a large family. Probably no man in America had held so many Masonic honors, according to grand lodge officers, in so many years. He was prominent in politics having held the offices of deputy United States marshal and deputy collector of revenue for long terms. He was a leader of his party in the second congressional district, and though a republican, he was appointed to the state highway commission as one of its original members.
