-from "Frontier Crossroads the evolution of Newport, VT" pg38 & 149-152 by Emily M. Nelson
"Ira Camp came from Tunbridge in 1823 and settled on a farm south of the school house. 'His home was a landmark in the town of Derby.' His son David, educated at Derby Academy, became 'one of the most cultured young men in Derby.' In 1864 he purchased the Newport Express, a weekly paper, and rescued it from a 'starvation existence.' He also held positions of importance, among them clerk of the lower House in Montpelier and a member of the Legislature from Newport."

Notes for DAVID CAMP:
The Senate:The Vermont senate was created by an 1836 constitutional amendment, with the lieutenant governor designated as the presiding officer. As a member of the executive, not legislative, branch the president of the senate did not have the same powers as the speaker. In his opening address to the first senate Lieutenant Governor David Camp argued that, "It seems very obvious that a body, which does not choose its presiding officer, cannot with propriety assign him the power of appointing its committees and officers."
Camp's recommendation was adopted as Rule 17 (1836), which governed committee appointments: "...the Senate will proceed to ballot severally to appoint the chairman of each committee, and then by one ballot the other members necessary to complete the same." To be elected chair required a majority vote, while committee membership required a plurality.

Generation No. 3
4. DAVID M3 CAMP (IRA2, ?1) was born December 11, 1836 and died 1911. He married JULIA MARIA DORMAN in 1861, daughter of ORRIN DORMAN and JULIA SWIFT.
Notes for DAVID M CAMP:
"The Green Mountain Express" was commenced at Irasburg by H. & G.H. Bradford on May 21, 1863. This paper was abandoned due to lack of patronage after about one year. The press & inventory were sold to W.G. Cambridge in September 1864 and moved to Newport. The first "Newport Republican" was issued on October 19, 1864 by Mr. Cambridge. He received only limited support, however, as he was new to the county and apparently not too energetic. On March 1, 1865 the paper ended up in D.K. Simonds and Royal Cummings hands. Mr. Simonds changed the name to the "Newport Express" and became editor. The paper was finally beginning to prosper when Mr. Simonds decided he wanted to focus on his law practice. At this point David M. Camp became editor and associate publisher with Royal Cummings. Within two years, Mr. Camp bought out Royal Cummings and became Editor, Publisher, and Proprietor. He held this title for over twenty years.
David M. Camp was the youngest of three sons of Ira Camp and Harriet Davis Camp. Born in Derby in 1836, he went to the Block School House District School on the Derby Lake Road (Beebe Road) and the Academies of Derby and St. Johnsbury. His minority was was spent on the farm at "Camp's Corner" and in teaching there. He later became Superintendent of Schools in Derby for three years. He was also a member of the State Board of Education when uniform textbooks were adopted. Middlebury College honored Mr. Camp with an AM Degree.
David M. Camp covered a most interesting period of our county's and village's history, always advocating morality, patriotism, and temperance, and was a Republican from the birth of the party. He was grandfather of Mrs. William Bond of Newport City. During 1889-1894, and from 1898 on, DM Camp was a Deputy Collector of Customs in Newport. He died in 1911 and is buried in Derby Center.
-from "Frontier Crossroads, the people of Newport, VT" pg154-155 by Emily M. Nelson
"In connection with the Newport paper (published under different name) it is interesting to note that it was saved from a "starvation existence" by Mr. David M. Camp, a native of Derby, educated at Derby Academy and son of Ira Camp, one of Derby's early settlers. Mr. Camp bought the paper in 1863 and transformed it into a high quality and influential paper still a credit to Orleans County."

Their large wholesale and retail business was also handling plumbing and heating supplies and agricultural implements.
