Robert is named after his grandfather Robert Cameron of Henry and Mercer County Kentucky.

When the Civil War broke out, Robert did not enlist into the service, but family tradition is that he worked with his brother in law Lieut. Col. David R Remick, Chief Commissary officer for the Army of the Potomac. After the War, Robert returned to Burlington and started to work in the grocery business.

Robert married Cora J Pierson of Burlington in 1865. Even though Robert lived in Burlington, he was known to have raised fine Hamiltonian horses.

In the late 1880s, Robert and his son Carl formed the Cameron Telephone Express & Transfer Co in Burlington.

Robert E Cameron died in Mt Pleanant, Iowa while in the Iowa State Hospital. His remains were returned to Burlington and buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery.
