“On Thursday, 24th inst. John De Camp, aged 84 years. This upright and energetic man was a soldier of the Revolution. At the early age of 16 he commenced an active career of military enterprise and was soon engaged in the perils and glories of the scenes immediately following the retreat of General Washington across New Jersey. He was present in numerous engagements with the enemy. His personal conduct secured for him the approbation of many well known officers, under whom he served. For two years he was constantly exposed to the dangers and privations of active service. He then joined a body of men known as express riders attached to the Quartermaster-General’s Department. In this capacity he soon became personally known to Gen. Washington, who on many occasions thereafter during a period of three years, entrusted him with despatches for Congress and for his general officers. In all his military duties he invariably acquired the confidence of his general commander, and the fact of his being constantly employed in the immediate service of Gen. Washington is a sufficient guarantee of his character. With his life as a private citizen we have less to do. It is enough to say that he was eminently successful. He was remarkable for industry, activity and probity. For 27 years he occupied a seat on the judicial bench of his native state, New Jersey. At a later period he came to reside in this city, and in the numerous circles of acquaintances he commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him to value the great Christian virtues of benevolence, integrity, and truth. His funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon, the 27th inst., from his late residence No. 13 Grove Street, at half-past four o’clock.”
