The TALES you probably never heard about

JAMES H. LAMPMAN

[People’s Press, 9 May 1900]

Saturday evening April 28, 1900, James H. Lampman of Stamford township, well known all through this section, quietly breathed his last, and was laid to rest in Drummond Hill cemetery on Tuesday.

Several years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke, from which he partially recovered, but was never rugged again, and lately his health has been gradually failing. Saturday he retired early, and about ten o’clock, when Mrs. Lampman retired, she found her husband only a lifeless form. Deceased was a native of the township, having been born near the farm where he died. He married Malvina, daughter of the late Thos. Pew, and to the couple were born but two boys, Edmund and William. Deceased is survived by one son only, William, his widow, and his aged mother, now 89, who resided with him. He was a member of the Methodist church, Rev. C.E. Stevenson conducting the funeral. The pallbearers were Anson Garner, F.A, Hutt, James Collard, J. Snider, John Law and Mr. Munroe-Thorold Post.
