General Notes: Husband - Henry Michael Camp

---

He attended the schools of Rochester, Pennsylvania, until he attained the age of seventeen years, when he went to Pittsburgh to learn the machinists' trade, and followed it for five years. Returning to Rochester, he went into the hotel business with his father, but upon the organization of the Rochester Heat & Light Company, he became superintendent and a stockholder. The gas used was furnished from Beaver and Allegheny counties, and the company was a success, and a means of great saving to the residents of Rochester. Mr. Camp was a stockholder in the Rochester Insurance Company, the Flint Vial & Bottle Works, the Big Beaver Bridge Company, the People's Electric Railroad, and the High River Bridge Company. In 1883, he erected a handsome brick residence on the corner of Jefferson and Connecticut streets, and resided there.
He was a solid Democrat, and served as a councilman. Religiously, he was a member of the Lutheran church; socially, he was a member and past master of the Masonic fraternity; and member and past regent of the Royal Arcanum.

He received a good education in the public schools of his section, and his earlier years were spent in the hotel conducted by his father. At the age of sixteen years he was apprenticed to learn the machinists' trade, and pursued this occupation for a period of five years. He then returned to his home in order to assist his father in the conduct of the hotel, and was thus employed until the sale of the hotel. From that time he was identified with a number of enterprises of varied character. He was one of the organizers of the Rochester Heat and Light Company, was elected as its first superintendent, and continued in this office until the company was merged into the Manufacturers' Light and Heat Company. During this period he was one of the organizers of the People's Electric Street Railway Company, which became a part of the Pittsburgh Railways Company of the Beaver Valley, and was for a considerable period of time its managing superintendent. He was also one of the organizers of the Ohio River Bridge Company which erected a bridge which spans the river, and was a director and vice-president of the company. He succeeded his father as a director of the Big Beaver Bridge Company until this was acquired by the county. He was one of the organizers of the Rochester Flint Vial and Bottle Works, which later changed its name to the Point Bottle Works. He assisted in the organization of the Keystone Tumbler Company, which was later merged into the National Glass Company. He was one of the organizers of the Olive Stove Works. He was one of the directors of the People's National Bank of Rochester, also one of the organizers and stockholders of the Freedom Trust Company, later known as the St. Clair National Bank, and was one of the five men who organized the Steubenville Bridge Company, of Steubenville, Ohio, and was treasurer and manager of this company; was one of the organizers of the Beaver County Telephone Company, and for three years was its general manager, extending its connection in every direction.. Mr. Camp was also a stockholder of the Rochester Trust Company and one of its organizers, and was the owner of a large quantity of real estate in Rochester and Rochester township. He was always a staunch Democrat, and while he never cared to hold public office he was a member of the borough council at one time. His religious affiliations were with the Lutheran Church, and he was for a period of twelve years a member of the church council, during which administration he was a member of Thiel College, Greenville, Pennsylvania, and served six years. He served as treasurer of the church eight years, during this period being a member of the building committee when a beautiful church edifice was built. He was a member of Rochester Lodge, No. 229, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was a past master, and he was also a member of the Royal Arcanum and was its representative to grand council from its organization in Rochester, 1879.
