The TALES you probably never heard about

SUSAN EDITH CAMP

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 21 June 1921]

Port Robinson and vicinity was shocked on Sunday morning, June 12th, to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Robert Camp, who passed peacefully to rest some time during the night.

Deceased had been in declining health for years, but was always able to be about her household duties, and on Saturday night seemed to be feeling much better than she had for the past week, and retired at twelve o’clock, but at five on Sunday morning she had passed away.

The late Mrs. Camp was born in Stamford, 67 years ago. She was predeceased by her first husband, Frederick Secord, 36 years ago. To this union was born three children, Harry Secord of Welland, Frank Secord, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Mrs. Burnett Hill of Welland. In 1887 she married Robert Camp. To this union was born one son, Roy at home.

Besides her children she leaves a sorrowing husband, two brothers, Joseph Middleton, of Stamford; Edward Middleton, of Niagara Falls, and three sisters, Mrs. John Cudney, St. Davids; Mrs. John Atkinson, of Grimsby,  and Mrs. Thomas Wallace, Omaha, Neb.

The funeral was held on Wednesday, June 15th. The remains were conveyed from her late residence to Port Robinson Methodist Church (of which she has been an active and untiring member for forty years), where service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Lowdnes, assiste, by Rev. Mr. Bowman. Interment was at Fonthill cemetery.
