Inter-State Publishing Company, Chicago, 1885.

Oliver J. Camp was born in Stark County, Ohio, in 1852, a son of John and 
Susanna (Smith) Camp, natives of the same county.  His parents came to De 
Kalb County, Ind., in April, 1855, and settled on section 6, Smithfield 
Township, on land bought several years previous of Mrs. Camp’s father, 
Benjamin Smith.  The first house on the place was built by Mr. Camp in 
1855.  The present residence, one of the best in the township, was built in 
1878.  The farm is under a good state of cultivation; there is a fine 
orchard of about 125 trees, and all the improvements are in good order, and 
among the best in the township.  Mrs. Camp still resides on the homestead.  
They had a family of four children, three of whom are living---Aaron W., 
Luther B. and Oliver J.  The latter still resides on and has charge of the 
farm.
