Story told by M. J. Camp---In early covered wagon days L. J. and Jane Camp were passing by Garrison's home by covered wagon. Had sick children, and called to them from the yard to say hello, but they wouldn't come in because of the illness they didn't want to spread. Julia and James insisted they come in. Their children were exposed to the illness and Garrison's blamed Camps for many years for the serious illness (Diphtheria or something similar) that their children contracted.
Death certificate #614466 Madison Co. Ia 29 Jul 1942
Nancy Jane Obrien was raised as Nancy Jane Mann, and did not know of her real father until the time of her wedding. So, although a half sister to the Mann children she considered them fully her brothers and sisters. Most of them came to Iowa to help her celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary in 1937. (memories of Nadine York who was at that celebration.)

Idella Miller (nee Camp) was born at Hopeville, Iowa, November 14, 1868 and died at her home in Osceola, October 16, 1909, aged 40 years, 11 months and two days.
She was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Camp, deceased, with whom she came to this city in 1885 and was here married to Jesse Miller, July 1st, 1888.
Four daughters, Delphine, Daisy, Myrtle and Florence, were born to them and all were present when death came to the mother and left them orphans, the father having died October 6th, 1908.
She united with the Christian church at the age of sixteen and remained a faithful and consistent member until the end.
For a number of years she had been an invalid but she bore her suffering with uncomplaining cheerfulness, only wishing that she might continue to live for the sake of her loved ones.
She was a good wife and loving mother and put forth every effort for their comfort that her health would permit. May God bless and comfort the orphaned daughters, and other relatives left to mourn her loss. The funeral services were held at the Christian church Sunday at 3 p.m. conducted by the writer after which interment was made in Maple Hill cemetery.
