JOHN CAMP

  John Camp, whose death was mentioned in The Republican, last week, when 
complete details of his funeral were not yet available, died at the age of 74 
years, five months and 20 days.  He was born and reared at Keyser's Ridge, 
Garrett County, Md., and was a son of Peter and Barbara (Vought) Camp.
  For a number of years preceding his death he resided at West Salisbury, Pa., 
and was well and favorably known in Salisbury and vicinity.  However, during the 
last year of his life, he was at home with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and 
Mrs. George G. Engle, at Bruceton Mills, W.Va., where he was well cared for.  He 
was found dead in his bed, Monday morning of last week.  He suffered severely at 
intervals for many years, from asthma, and at times also had heart trouble.  In 
all probability it was a heart attack that caused his death.
  Mr. Camp was preceded in death by his wife five years ago.  He is survived by 
two daughters and one son, namely, Clara, wife of George G. Engle, Bruceton 
Mills, W.Va.; Nellie, wife of Jonas Smith, Swissvale, Pa., and William, of 
Trafford, Pa.  Surviving also are one sister and one brother, Miss Annie Camp of 
Salisbury, Wilson Camp of Keyser's Ridge, Md., and ten grandchildren.
  Funeral services were conducted Thursday of last week at 2:00 p.m., at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. George G. Engle, Bruceton Mills, W.Va., by Rev. S. D. 
Sigler of Salisbury.  The body was taken to Salisbury by a West Virginia 
mortician, and interred in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of 
Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.
