The Ellis Camp you have listed is my father for sure. The other could not be my
grandfather because he died when I was about nine so that had to be about 1952
or earlier. He also died in his fifties so the age doesn't match either. I have
checked the 1900 census records with no luck. Any more information you can
supply would be helpful. Still he was called DOC ...ran a sawmill, was Floyd
County Justice of the Peace and Train station master for Relay, Georgia.
Thank you all for helping a beginner.

Susan, You might check for Social Security numbers and order the
original applicantion. I found a C. Camp who died in March 1955, SS
303-03-6710 issued in Indiana. Ellis Camp SS# 253-09-2451 issued in
Georgia b/Sept 30,1911, d/Jan 25,1992. They fit the dates.
Happy hunting, Doris Perkins
