Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Sheriff Camp was my maternal great-grandfather. He died many years before I was born, and I only vaguely remember my great grandmother (Emma Lula Duggan Camp), but my Grandmother (Mrs. Annie Sara Camp Johnston), was the best grandmother in the whole wide world!

She raised me, telling me stories of them and taking me to different parts of what eventually became Fulton County, which was steeped in history. The bell from the ferry at Rivertown, hung on a pole in her yard for the entirety of my life.

I would have loved to have known you, as I think your son, Ben, must have been much like you. He was something else! Much like my father, who’s own father was a Clayton County Sheriff’s Deputy.

We have carried on teaching my children (which are his great-great grandchildren), who he was and the role that their great-great grandmother took on after his death. We look forward to telling their children of our family history as well.

Thank you for your service Sir.
May you rest in Paradise.

Thomas (Tom) Camp was my maternal grandfather. When my grandmother, Lula Duggan Camp, became Sheriff, she was the first woman sheriff in the State of Georgia. She served a very brief time, only until an election could be held for a new Sheriff. She chose not to run for the position. Both are buried in the City if Fairburn, GA, cemetery. The Old Campbell County Historical Society placed a plaque on my grandmother's grave stating that she was the first woman sheriff in Georgia.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 81rst anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
