Obituary from 10 Jun 1898 Nebraska Signal newspaper:
"CAMP, ALBERT G--Albert G. Camp was born in Connecticut, August 6, 1814. At an early age he moved with his parents to the state of New York. In his young manhood, together with his father's family and the family of his father's brother, he moved to Pennsylvania and settled in Bradford county, in the northeastern portion of the state. At that time this section was a wilderness. To commemorate the arrival of these families and there settlement the place where they located was called Camp Town in their honor. For nearly seventy years the town has born this name. The greater part of Mr. Camp's life was spent on a farm in Herrick township in Bradford county.
When twenty-one years of age, or in 1835, he was married to Miss Sarah Ann Overpeek, who died in Geneva in 1880. In 1882 he was married to Mrs. Martha Brown who survives him. The following children were born to Mr. Camp, all of whom are now living: Burton W. Camp, who lives in Bradford county, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Edna Roberts, now visiting there, Mrs. Addie Hammerly of Chicago, Ill., and J. H. Camp, S. B. Camp and C. D. Camp of Geneva.
In 1865 Mr. Camp and his entire family, except one son, came west, settling in Jasper county, Iowa, and lived there about nine years. In 1874 he moved to Nebraska and soon after settled in Geneva, then a place but little more than in name and consisting of but two or three houses. He engaged in business here and for years was foremost in all the enterprise and growth of the town. In fact the town was largely founded by Mr. Camp and his sons. He was also justice of the peace for many years, the first police judge of the city of Geneva and held this office almost constantly until his death.
Very early in life Mr. Camp joined the Presbyterian church in Herrick, Bradford county, Penn., the pastor of which for over forty years was the Rev. Darwin Cook. Mr. Camp retained his membership in that church until his death. Mr. Camp came of a long-lived race. His own age was nearly fourteen years beyond the period of a natural life. He was the fourth of nine children and out-lived all. The last surviving brother died three years ago. Mr. Camp's family was an honorable one and identified with much important history and leading affairs. One of his nephews, Hon. J. M. Crawford, was council general at St. Petersburg under Harrison's administration."
CARD OF THANKS – To the kind friends who assisted us during the sickness, death and burial of our husband and father, we wish to express our sincere thanks for their help and sympathy. MRS. MARTHA CAMP, J. H. CAMP AND FAMILY, S. B. CAMP AND FAMILY, C. D. CAMP AND FAMILY.
