The following published in History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains Vol. 3 by James H. Hawley 1920:
"The business interests of Boise are of varied nature, each legitimate and successful enterprise contributing to the upbuilding and development of the city. Burt Camp, whose name introduces this review, is sole proprietor of the Boise Broom Factory at No. 413 Thatcher street and is thus controlling one of the valuable productive interests of the capital. He was born upon a farm in Jasper county, Iowa, June 7, 1873, and is a son of Clarence D. and Permelia (Warner) Camp, both of whom are now living in San Diego, California.
Their son Burt was but an infant when the parents left Iowa and removed to Geneva, Nebraska, where he continued to make his home for thirty-one years. During that time he was married on the 26th of June, 1893, to Miss Martha Alice Epley, who was born at Batavia, Iowa, August 30, 1875, a daughter of George W. Epley, a veteran of the Union army of the Civil war, now residing at the Boise Soldiers Home. Her mother bore the maiden name of Julia Ann Mclntyre and passed away in 1914. The father has reached the age of seventy-six years.
Mr. Camp of this review began learning the broom making business in 1888 and spent three years in learning the trade. He then purchased a broom factory at Geneva, Nebraska, and has since conducted business on his own account, operating his factory at Geneva for sixteen years, after which he went to Paonia, Colorado, where he spent four years in the same business and in 1907 came to Boise, where he has since owned a broom making plant. For thirty-two years he has been a broom manufacturer and he has the only factory of the kind in Idaho. It is a well equipped establishment, supplied with good machinery, and the thorough workmanship of the place results in turning out an excellent product.
Mr. and Mrs. Camp have become the parents of two children, Harold and Hazel. The former is married and is employed in the First National Bank of Boise. The parents and their two children are all members of the Methodist church and Mr. Camp is likewise identified with the Modern Woodmen and the Royal Neighbors, Mrs. Camp being also a member of the latter and likewise of the Woman's Relief Corps. Their activities have to do with those things which touch the general interests of society and work for public welfare, and in Boise, where they have now made their home for a number of years, they have gained many warm friends."
