Alfred J. Camp, 40, Meets Instant Death In Auto Accident Last Night

Alfred J. Camp, 40, was instantly killed Monday evening in an accident about 6:15 near Good Hope. He was driving north and came over a hill upon a northbound corn picker pulling a wagon and being driven by Bud Nelson of the same neighborhood. In attempting to pass the machine, the Camp car hit the left rear wheel of the wagon, continued around the corn picker, and in some freak manner turned over in front of the machine.

Mr. Camp was born June 2, 1902, at Columbus, Nebraska, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Camp. His father was a school teacher. After completing his preliminary schooling, he attended the Sioux Falls business college.

On February 20, 1924, he was married to Miss Frances Dunn at Platte Center, Nebr. Mrs. Camp and four children, James, 16; Marpry, 12; Eugene, 10; and Donna, 5, survive.

Mr. and Mrs. Camp came to Kossuth county a year ago in September, and the former was employed at the Ben Reid farm for a few months. Last March they moved to Emmetsburg, where they had lived until October first when they again returned to Kossuth county and Mr. Camp rented the Reid farm for the coming year.

Beside his immediate family, Mr. Camp is survived by a sister in Endicott, N. Y., and a brother in Portland, Oregon.

Funeral arrangements are pending as we go to press.
