Century Memorial

Hugh N. Camp was an old-time merchant of New York, and afterwards one of the most prominent real estate agents and brokers of this city.

Active, energetic, public-spirited, conspicuous in charitable work, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, trustee of the Fund for Aged Ministers of this Episcopal Diocese, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the National Academy of Design, the Five Points House of Industry, the New York Skin and Cancer Hospital, and St. Luke’s Hospital, he rendered valuable and unselfish service to the public, which brought him the respect and esteem of his fellow-citizens.
