    1. [MSITAWAM-L] Camp obit.
    2. Nancy Bible
    3. Hi Wayne! I noticed in the obits that you posted, the county atty. was Herman Camp, and also in the other obit. a Camp was named as one of the Honorary Pallbearers. I was wondering if you knew more about the family of Herman Camp. My grandmother, Velena McKay Carpenter, died recently, July 9. In her old trunk, I found an old photo of Herman Camp when he was a toddler, looks about 2-3 years old, and she also had a clipping of his obit from 1982. I will include it with this message. I was just wondering how they might be related somehow. My grandma's mother died when my grandma was only 2 years old, from being gored to death by a cow, therefore my grandma knew little about her mother's side of the family, who were the Oswalts. I have not been able to see any connection between Herman Camp and the Oswalt or McKay families, so far and thought that you might know of some connection. Thanks for any help that you might be. The obit. will follow.....
