Recent research into the history of Camden County has led me to learn the story of how Deputy Montelle Williams made the ultimate sacrifice serving our beloved county. Today I went into the Camden County Sheriff's Office and found the portrait on the wall. I intend to respectfully use it as a dignified tribute as I document the history of the Camden County, North Carolina. My late father-in-law, Sam Jennings, also served as a Camden County deputy under Sheriff John Joseph Walston.
