Norfolk Virginian February 6, 1883
Mr. George Washington Camp, formerly a prominent citizen of Norfolk, died on 
Sunday night at his residence in Richmond. Mr. Camp was a native of Norfolk but 
had lived in Richmond for several years past. His death was somewhat expected, 
as he has been in ill health for years. He had arrived at a ripe old age, having 
nearly reached the Psalmist’s allotted span, three-score years and ten. During 
his long and busy life, he held many positions of trust in this community, and 
all who knew him will attest to his sterling character and fine business 
capacity. Mr. Camp read law in his youth and was, for a while, a member of the 
Norfolk bar. But he relinquished his practice to hold a position as United 
States Customs officer. His Record, however, as a businessman, was made by his 
successful career as a bank officer, he, having been teller of the Virginia Bank 
and cashier of the Exchange Bank of Virginia, in Norfolk, the mother bank, as it 
were, of the State.
He was a public-spirited citizen, always taking an active part in our municipal 
affairs, and frequently being elected to the councils. Socially, he was a 
delightful companion, his bright mind and pleasing manners making him especially 
entertaining. His loss will be keenly felt by a large circle of relatives and 
friends. To those especially bereaved, we tender our sincere sympathy.
