Newton Franklin Camp, a native of Staunton, passed away at 11:30 Friday night in Community Memorial hospital. His death followed a gradual decline in health, and came just nine days after his 86th birthday.
Born in Staunton Dec. 22, 1867, he was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Camp. His grandfather, the late Telemachus Camp, was one of the first men to settle in Staunton in the early 1800s.
Mr. Camp was a well-to-do land-owner, having owned a number of farms in this part of the state. Before his retirement he was a partner in the Camp and Bekemeier Implement store in Staunton. Several years ago he retired and continued to live on the Camp farm in the suburbs of Staunton.
Surviving are his wife, the former Miss May Backman, a resident of Kansas, and a niece, Mrs. May Carleton of Staunton.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at Carleton funeral home, the Rev. N. G. Mathenia, pastor of Assembly of God church, officiating. Interment was in Staunton Memorial Park cemetery. [Ref: Macoupin County Enquirer, January 7, 1954, p. 7]
