CHARLES E. CAMERON, a successful salesman at No. 1505 Chapline street,
Wheeling, West Virginia, was born in Wheeling, December 5, 1873, and is
a son of Charles and Mary (McClusky) Cameron, both of whom were natives
of Wheeling.
     Charles Cameron was a glass-blower, followed that occupation most of
his life, and was one of the organizers of Local Union No. 9.  In religion
he was a member of the Catholic church.  He was united in marriage with
Mary McClusky, of Wheeling, a daughter of James and Margaret (McCormack)
McClusky, deceased, the former having died of cholera, in 1851, shortly
after coming from Ireland.  Charles Cameron and his wife were blessed with
three children, namely:  Charles E.; Catherine, a saleslady in John S.
Naylor's store; and Lucy R., the wife of J. E. Truschel, a wholesale paper
merchant of Wheeling.  Mr. and Mrs. Truschel have one child, the joy and
pride of their home, who was two years old on October 11, 1901.
     Charles E. Cameron, the subject of this sketch, was educated at first
in the Wheeling cathedral schools and later at Rock Hill College, near
Baltimore.  After his school days were over he was employed as a clerk for
George E. Stifel & Company, and has followed clerking ever since for that
and other firms in Wheeling.  At present he is employed by John S. Naylor
& Company, where he has charge of the men's furnishing goods department,
which does the largest business of the kind in the city and state.
     Mr. Cameron belongs to no sect or order, and takes very little interest
in politics.  He is one of the reliable, painstaking and rising young men of
the city.  He comes from one of the oldest families in Wheeling, and has the
honor of being a first-class salesman.
