An historical sketch of the First Hillsboro Baptist Church
by W. (Wellington) Camp
About the author
Born in 1856 and dying in 1935, W. (Wellington) Camp is identified in library and archival records as a Canadian religious writer from New Brunswick. He is also listed in memorial records as Rev. Charles Wellington Camp, which strongly suggests that the author name "W. Camp" refers to the same Baptist minister.
He is known for An Historical Sketch of the First Hillsboro Baptist Church, a work that reflects a close connection to Baptist life in Hillsborough, New Brunswick. Rather than writing broadly for a national audience, he appears to have focused on preserving local church history, the kind of record that becomes more valuable with time.
Although only limited biographical detail is easy to confirm, his published work points to a life shaped by ministry, faith, and community memory. For readers interested in regional history, his writing captures the voice of someone who cared about keeping the story of a congregation alive.
