Jno. Camp Commits Suicide
Word came to town last Sunday evening that Jno. Camp, a farmer living about 8 miles south of here had taken his own life by morphine poisoning. No good cause is known beyond the fact that for some time he has been low spirited and despondent in his actions. He was more so on Saturday night, was restless and did not sleep, but walked around and showed an unquiet disposition. At one time in the night he called his family together and told them that he could not live, that knew he was going to die. The family evidently did not regard this in a serious light. Sunday morning nothing was seen of Mr. Camp. The family, believing him to be asleep, did not attempt to call him until nearly noon, when his wife opened his door she found him just breathing his last. Doctor Barton was immediately summoned. Upon an external examination the doctor pronounced that death was due to morphine poisoning, but of course could not say positively without an autopsy.
Mr. Camp came to this country from Connecticut some twelve years ago. He took a timber claim, and bought a homestead right. He has since that time lived on this farm. He went on a visit to his old home in Connecticut last winter and has not been what one would call a well man since.
His high standing in the community and the universal respect which was accorded him, make it seem almost untrue that he now lies as dust. The funeral services were conducted from the house on Monday and a large concourse of friends followed the remains to their resting place in Arcadia cemetery. To Mrs. Camp and her fatherless children, goes out the unstinted sympathy of the entire community.
