L. B. Camp was the youngest child born to his father's second marriage. His birth occurred in Refugio County, Texas, in 1867, and he received a thorough education in St. Mary's College, San Antonio, Bryant, Texas, and in the University of Virginia, where he studied law, being admitted to the bar in that State in 1890. The same year he was admitted to the bar in San Antonio, and in September he formed a partnership with Judge Lawhon, under the firm name of Lawhon & Camp. Soon after he began practicing Mr. Camp acquired a high reputation as a practitioner of unusual ability, persistence, force and adroitness, and as a result has risen rapidly to the top of his profession, enjoying a large practice and the unbounded confidence of his fellow lawyers and the people. He is calm, dispassionate, eloquent, and all his arguments are firmly grounded upon legal and equitable principle. Socially he is a Mason, a member of Floresville Lodge No. 515. In the year 1891 he was married to Miss Orie Lee Lawhon, daughter of Judge Lawhon (see sketch), and a conscientious member of the Baptist Church. Many members of the Camp family are living in San Antonio and vicinity, and are prominent and prosperous people. ["Memorial and Genealogical Record of Texas"; Goodspeed Bros., Chicago; 1894
