Cameron Fire Department recalls early volunteers and horse team memories
A photograph of Cameron’s early volunteer firefighters highlights August Horstmann the last horse drawn wagon driver and first automotive truck driver. The piece recalls horsemanship names such as Tom and Jerry Oxsheer Smith and Sheriff Carl Black, the late truck delivery delay, and a two fire runs during the transition to motorized apparatus. It mentions a two story green hotel near the City Hall with a moving lazy Susan table and notes several later descendants connected to Cameron figures.
