Camp, of Eudora, Kansas, the sad j news was imparted that George Camp, ; formerly of Joseph, had passed away '. at noon on July 1st. George Camp ! and M. V. Knight were partners for about thirty years, traveling from j place to place together hunting and j prospecting in the mountains near 'Joseph. Last fall Mr. Knight ob 1 served that his partner's health was failing rapidly so he advised that the sick man should go to his brothers home in Kansas at the earliest pos sible moment. From the time of Mr. Pnmn's arrival at the home of his brother (October 18, 1916) he steadily failed in health until death came to his relief on July 1, 1917.
