May Even Recover Sufficiently to Do
 Some Work.


 Some Work.
 Word is received from the New York Herald office that Robert VanDeusen, of the Herald staff, whose critical condition from quick consumption was reported a couple of weeks ago, is so much better that he has been removed from the sana- tarium at SaraEac in the Adirondacks. to health resort in Liberty, N. Y. The News informant states, however, that while the patient may recover from his present collapse sufficiently to resume 8 portion of his duties in the Herald office, his full recovery is impossible and his lease Of life short
 No word has come direct to young VanDeusen's relatives in Canaan con- corning his condition, and their sole in formation on the subject has been the intelligence received by the News.
 Mrs. Opheiia Randall Camp
 On the twenty-ninth day of December, 1911, there passed from Smong us Mrs. Ophelia Randall Camp. %. ,..
 Mrs. Camp was born in Roxbury, Conn, on Aug. 30, 1885. Her parents were LeGrand and Della Beers Ran daIl and Mrs. Camp was one of five children Sometime later Mrs. Camp re- moved to Kent, Conn. On Nov. 26, 1857. she was married to William Camp. M. D. Seven years later, Mrs. Camp suf- fered the loss of her husband. who died March 24, 1864. In 1879, Mrs. Camp and her son, William H. Camp, at that time seventeen years of age. removed to Canaan. Here she resided until the time of her<death. She is survived by @ sister. Mrs. Leverett Castle, of RoxbRry. On Jan. 30, 1907, Mrs Camp was called upon to suffer very great grief in the death of her son.
 Mrs. Camp was woman of intense Christian faith and of deepest Christian love. She was most loyal to her church. She supported it's interests very hberaily and brought to bear upon it's work 8 devoted enthusiasm and an untiring energy which aided greatly in establish. ing the success of that for which she labored. She continued active in the Church's work until she was stricken with the disease which brought about her death. On the pert of some persons. the tendency is to set aside active work as age comes Oh, but to cease from acti- vity was not Mrs. Camps nature. What she did, she did thoroughly and oontirl- ued to further devotedly until her DOW yers were taken from her.
 The depth and width of Mrs. Camps affection will probably never be known. Her quiet courage and Christian cheer fnlness after the death of her son bore testimony to the depth and reality of her Christian faith, but, under these, there must have been a sorrow conceal ed which DO one might know. Very deep indeed was her love. She loved most devotedly her family. her church and her friends. Her many generous benefactions cannot be known. What she so most generously did was always done quietly and without ostentation so that few persons other than the benefi. oiary really knew from what source the deed of blessing came,
 In the death of Mrs. Camp. @ very great loss has been sustained by her church and her friends It is 8 loss which all most deeply mourn. But a blessed memory remains which will be cherished far into the future and many prayer of thanksgiving to God will as- cend from the altar which she so faith fully served for the noble example in faith and love of Mrs. Opheiia Randall Camp. s.
