OBITUARY.
WILLIAM Fl. CAMP.


 MT and Mrs B. L.. Johnson were in Canaan, February g, to attend the funeral of w. Fl. Camp, who is well known in Newtown. The Connecti- cut Western News says of him: After lingering and painful illness William H. Camp passed to his reward, last Wednesday night. The end was not unexpected and came as a welcome re- lief as there was absolutely no hope of his recovery. We are not competent to write an eulogy of MT Camp because our acquaintance with him extended over period of few months. On ar irving in Canaan, MT Camp was indi- cated to us as one of the loyal, whole souled, progressive, substantial citi- zens, man of fixed opinions and one who possessed the courage of his con- victions. And all these things we found to be true. He was the kind of man a town can i'll afford to lose, the sort of friend one holds in high esteem. Humanity has its foibles and frail- ties. Over those possessed by MT Camp if any such there were, let the veil of charity be drawn, for surely there was in his makeup such an abundance of sterling qualities that his near relatives and his friends may, | in thought and reflection, dwell upon them and find that his was life that counted for much in the community where he lived and among those with whom he came in contact. He was born in Kent, 4S years ago, learned the drug business in Curtis drug store in Bridgeport, and, with his mother, came to Canaan at the age of 19 years In 1884 he married Miss Jennie Adam of East Canaan. Politically he was 8 staunch democrat. He was cOmmu- nicant of the Episcopal church and at various times had held the offices of postmaster, treasurer of Christ church, treasurer of the water company, com mittee on Douglas library, town clerk and tax collector. He was also mem Der of Housatonic lodge, No. 61, F. & A. M. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at Christ church. The serv- ices were conducted by Rev J. P. Smyth, assisted by a former rector, Rev Francis w. Barnett, of South Glastonbury. The pail bearers were Junius Rhoad es, O. T. Vosburgh, N. Watson Hardenbe rgb and George liar. denbergh.
