Bio

W. J. Camp, of Munford, Ala., affectionately known as "Uncle Joe," has gone to his reward. By his earnest and zealous teaching many hundreds have learned the message of salvation, by his hands many have been baptized into Christ, and by his work many churches have been established. It was at his feet that I learned the first principles of the doctrine of Christ years ago. He lived as he taught--close to God, ever abiding in his blessed word. A son, B. F. Camp, carried on the work of the gospel where he left off. For a number of years he has been living on "borrowed time," as he expressed it, having passed his allotted time here almost two decades ago. Age did not conquer his zeal. For more than fifty years he has been a pioneer of the gospel in that section of Northeastern Alabama. May his rest be peaceful, his reward glorious; and may heaven be made more joyous by the angels carrying to him this message: "Uncle Joe, we will carry on." --James Romaine Parnell., Atlanta, Ga. Gospel Advocate, March 8, 1934, page 248. William J. Camp, born July 29, 1847; enlisted April 30, 1864, at Talladega, Alabama, as private, Company C, Confederate States Marine Corps; paroled at Appomattox, Virginia, April 9, 1865; resided at Munford, Alabama, in 1921.
