Mr. Camp came to Illinois in 1857 and settled on a farm in Millbrook Township, where he lived til two years ago when he moved to Monica to be near his children in his declining years. His illness was of short duration, he being confined to his bed for only a few days. Mr. Camp was married Dec. 19, 1844, Miss Naowl Camp, of the name but yet of no relation. To this union six children were born, the eldest dying in infancy. Those who remain to mourn his death are two sons and three daughters; Zephaniah of Monica, William of Peoria, Mrs. Mary Pig of Osceola, Ill., Mrs. Maria Gray of Sutton, Nebr., and Mrs. Etta Conover of Monica. The aged wife and mother, who, with the devoted husband, has struggled for success for 65 years, is also left to mourn his departure. The children were all at their father's funeral.
Mr. Camp was a genial warm hearted, unassuming man. His life was one of tender affection and love for his home and people. There are twenty-four grand children and thirty-three great grand children who are witnesses to his life and kind generosity. His home was a place of welcome to stranger and friend. None knew him but to admire his spirit of kindness toward everyone. Like all old pioneers his bible was his best book.
The funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the home of L. D. Conover, by Rev. J. T. Bliss.
