Dr. Hugh Angus Cameron.
HUGH ANGUS CAMERON was born in Scotland, February 17, 1869
and saved at the age of 16. He associated himself with the Assembly
meeting in Marble Hall, Glasgow, Scotland and was helped on in the
ways of the Lord by able men of God as J. R. Caldwell and other men
of ability.
He began to do district visiting and gave medical attention to those
whom he met in his visits. Coming to this country, he studied medicine
in the University of Philadelphia and sat under the ministry of Donald
Monroe and Donald Ross. He took notes of the ministry of Donald
Monroe and had them published in pamphlet form which were a great
help to the believers at that time.
He moved later to Waterbury, Connecticut, where he laid the
foundation for a good work by his godly life and testimony. Mr. William
Batterton writes as follows: In 1911, Doctor Martin came to
Waterbury, he and Dr. Cameron pitched a tent in Waterville, a suburb.
From the very first, the people came to the tent. God saved souls and an
assembly was started July 9, 1911. Dr. Cameron labored here for the
next nine years with untiring devotion to his Lord and Master caring for
the little flock which grew, the Lord adding to the company.
He showed particular interest in Italian people and had Mr. C.
Patrizio come to labor in a tent with him and saw a number saved. As
the result of this, Mr. Patrizio was encouraged in this work and got a
good start.
His godly life and conversation marked him out as a man of God,
so that today, if his name is mentioned to one of his former patients,
they will mention some kindness that he had shown to them.
Believing his work was done in that locality, he was led to move
to Detroit, identifying himself with the assembly in the Central Gospel
Hall. Mr. Henry Gillow writes that the doctor became greatly exercised
about a Bible Class for the consistent, consecutive study of the Scriptures.
Mr. T. D. W. Muir and the elders encouraged him very much to take
up this work. It grew to a nice, profitable, well-attended Bible Class.
The doctor took up consecutively the books of the Bible and led the
Christians along chapter by chapter. He often asked questions in the
class, had the Lord’s people write certain portions of the Scriptures, so
that many of the saints here will have reason to thank God constantly
for the help derived from his careful and constant labors to provide
them with meat in season. The effects of the Bible Class spread to other
communities, and many Christians benefitted from it.
His life was an every day and constant testimony amongst the saints
and although a man of great intelligence, highly respected in the city and
elsewhere professionally, he was a most humble believer. Although so
highly gifted, it was nice to see him sit and listen to the ministry of
many of the Lord’s servants. He really was a good listener, which is a
rare and excellent virtue. His very presence in the assembly brought a
sense and dignity of reverence into every meeting.
He was known as the "Beloved Physician,” and like Luke, with his
pen ministered to the spiritual need of the Lord’s people for which he
was well qualified.
Our brother was stricken while attending a meeting of the elders
in Central Gospel Hall in Detroit, Monday, February 4. He was taken
to his home and from there, shortly after midnight, February 5, went
home to be with the Lord. He is survived by his wife and son, Gibson
Cameron, for whom prayer is requested.
The esteem in which our brother was held was abundantly manifested
by the many who came to pay their last respects to one whom
they had loved so long.
