Warning: this may be as close to a bomb as I can get!

This was a Lapham top secret development (an oxymoron, if there ever was one) until next Mon when we are supposed to know what we are talking about. In the first 24 hrs Peter leaked at least to Ben. So much for news management! This is a now a test of Letterman style news management. I have tests tomorrow for Karposi’s Sarcoma which I just got diagnosed with. It is a cancer, one that is pretty famous for infecting younger aids patients. By Monday afternoon, I should know how bad I have got it. My doctors think we probably got it early. My guess is that I’m still going to end in a heart attack. I hope everybody remembers how Yul Brunner appeared in the King and I. as Chemotherapy is likely. It is generally one of the more manageable cancers. Chemotherapy is universally agreed to suck"

Lapham News Blog: "We have been to Delphi. Arlene probably has beginning Alzheimer’s and also so do I. We are both on Namenda and Excelon. The Excelon will help with our Parkinson’s if we get that too. The Alzheimer’s is in the early stages, but there is not much of a down side to starting treatment early. Neither of us is terribly serious yet. I still expect to die of a heat attack before the Alzheimer’s get serious. I suppose Arlene could be in more trouble than I am.

It there is any way to avoid a nursing home, I intend to find it."

Photo #1 Memorial Wellington HZ520

On June 22nd 1943 at 01:20 a bomber crashed alongside the Fressevenweg in Bergeijk in the Dutch province of Noord Brabant. The Wellington HZ520 of 429 Squadron was downed by the German night fighter Hauptmann Wer ner Baake. The crashed aircraft took part in a raid on the German city of Krefeld.
That same night Hauptmann Baake of Nachtgeschwader 1./NJG1 also claimed a Halifax which crashed in the vicinity of the village of Uden . Werner Baake received the “Ritterkreuz” (Knight’s cross) on 27 July, 1944, for 41 downed allied aircraft during World War Two.

The monument consists of a pedestal of brickwork with a polished granite stone on top with an engraved text which may be translated as follows:
In the night of 21 to 22 June, 1943, near this crater WELLINGTON HZ520 has crashed.
Two crew members were killed
F/Sgt H.V. Holmes – RAF
F/O D. S. Milne - RCAF
Taken prisoner of war
F/Sgt E.A.Eams – RAF
F/O E.F. Lapham – RAF
W/O W.H. Wright – RAF
Unveiled by E.F. Lapham on September 11th, 1994.

Ten meters behind the monument you will find the crater that was caused by the crash.

The two crew members that were killed received their last resting place on the British war cemetery in Woensel (in the municipality of Eindhoven). On the front side of the brickwork pedestal there is a copper engraving with the picture of F/O Lapham.

The Wartime Memories Project - RAF Honeybourne:

Honeybourne Airfield opened 3/12/40 and was used for training Canadian pilots.

The Airfield closed in 1947. The runways have now reverted to farm land and part of the site is now an industrial park. The control tower is now a private dwelling.

"I am researching the Roll of Honour for my old school and one casualty was Pilot Officer E.L. Bedford. He took off from Honeybourne in a Whitley bomber belonging to 24 Operations Training Unit (OTU) on 24/25 June 1942 heading for Bremen. OTU's very often flew in missions with a/c crewed by trained crews.

The Whitley was a Mk V serial number Z 9441. The rest of the crew were: Pilot Officer J.A. Preston RCAF, Pilot Officer W.G.W. Lapham and Sergeants C.R. Robertson RCAF and A.E.Owen.

Any information please?

The Lapham-Patterson House was built in 1885...and it's last tour will be given June 14th.

It's closure is part of deep budget cuts in the State's Parks and Recreation Division.

Two people are on staff at the house, one will be transferred, the other let go.

Although it's set to close June 14th, a group of Thomasville citizens is working to re-open it as soon as possible. It cost about $50,000 a year to operate the house."

Lapham-Chase corrections?

2009-03-10T19:30:00.000Z

some Lapham-Chase corrections - Lapham - Family History & Genealogy Message Board - rootsweb.com: "Laphams lived in Biddenden and Bethersden, Kent, near Tenterden, where the Tildens lived. The first Lapham who came to MA was Thomas. He came on the ship Hercules in 1634/35 as a employee of Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden Parish, Kent. Thomas was admitted to Scituate church 24 Apr.1636, where he supported William Witherell as pastor. Thomas signed deeds & his will with a mark, but his Jan.1648/49 estate inventory included 10 books valued at 13s. 4p. The value of his estate, without real estate was L38 4d.

Thomas’ will was dated Jan.1644/45. Did he die 15 Jun.1644 in Kent? On 22 June 1650 His widow, Mary, confirmed his sale to Thomas Hiland of a house and half acre called “Bures Isle” in Tenterden, Kent, near Sir Edward Hale’s house. In June 1651 Mr Hatherley was permitted to prove the will on behalf of Mary, suggesting that Mary Tilden Lapham Bassett had married Timothy Hatherley by that date. The will was finally proved in Oct.1651.

Lapham is spelled Lappam, Lampham, Lepham & Lopham in various records. Have other researchers found different spellings?
Does anyone have additions, corrections or records of this descent?"

De-Listed - Brainiac - The Boston Globe: "Silas Lapham is a Yankee farmer who becomes a prosperous paint manufacturer and builds a house in Boston's newly fashionable Back Bay; Howells describes him taking a detour to wonder at the pile driver digging his foundation pit. 'Mrs. Lapham,' writes Howells, 'suffered him to enjoy the sight twenty or thirty times before she said, 'Well now drive on, Si.' ' In the famous apartment search that opens 'A Hazard of New Fortunes,' Basil March marvels at his wife's ability to imagine their future in every bare and shabby flat they visit: 'She got a lot of pleasure as well as excitement out of this, and he had to own that the process of setting up housekeeping in so many different places was not only entertaining, but tended, through association with their first beginnings in housekeeping, to restore the image of their early married days and to make them young again.' There are, as Howells once admitted, no 'palpitating divans' in his novels; they've been replaced by that other great pleasure - the loving irony of domestic banter.

But the 20th century was cruel to marriage, and it was cruel to Howells. He stands now as the great anti-failure of American literature. Where writers like Melville and Fitzgerald died in debt and obscurity only to be covered in posthumous glory, Howells slid in the exact opposite direction. He was the most popular literary author of his day, and was moved to the front office (he became president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1908) when his creative gift could no longer deliver the crowds. But instead of a posthumous revival, or even just a harmless posthumous neglect, he received one posthumous drubbing after another. "

Hot Property: 'Spider-Man' Maguire spends $9.7 -- just for a site - ContraCostaTimes.com: "Disneyland designer TURNS talents TOWARD MAYA-THEMED house: Six months ago, Stan Jolley, a movie art director, a TV producer-director and one of the original designers of Disneyland, took working at home to a new level.

That's when he purchased and started a major restoration — now nearing completion — of a Maya-themed home in Rancho Mirage.

Jolley bought the 22,000-square-foot house in the Palm Springs area for $7.7 million, according to public records. He estimates he has spent about $1.25 million on the interior and exterior, plus $2.25 million on furnishings.

The six-bedroom, nine-bathroom house sits on 7 acres at the top of the gated community of Thunderbird Heights. It is the highest-elevation home in Rancho Mirage.

The house was built and designed in the early '70s by modernist Howard Lapham for socialite-sportswoman Maxine Cook. An admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright, Lapham focused on blending ancient Maya and modern design."

Register Your Thoughts: Weekly Interview: Bruce Lapham (Printed Jan. 3, 2008): "Nearly every parent who has gotten into the car with their newly driver-permitted teenager has slammed their foot on the invisible brake, reached for the steering wheel or white-knuckled the dashboard.
Driving instructor Bruce Lapham just laughs.
Every day he climbs in the passenger seat with a student driver at the wheel.
“If everyone drove like student drivers, the insurance companies would be out of business,” he joked. “We are the only ones on the road driving the speed limit and stopping at stop signs. We’re the safest people on the road.”
Behind his desk in the classroom, Lapham leans back when he talks, and he laughs often. His nature is easy-going. A can of Spam is placed on the corner of his desk as a running joke.
Lapham took over Flanagan’s Driving School in Springvale a little more than 10 years ago.
At the time, he worked in the circulation department of a major newspaper and coached Babe Ruth baseball.

When those conditions are met and the student has reached the age of 16, the student may take the road test at the Maine Department of Motor Vehicles, but even after they have earned a license, they still aren’t off the hook.
“They are on a conditional license for six months,” Lapham said. “No friends in the car unless there is a licensed driver over the age of 20 who has had a license for two consecutive years and no handheld electronic devices until they are 18-years-old.”
He said the curfew law was a “no-brainer and didn’t cost a dime.”
“The curfew alone reduced accidents by 17 percent,” he said. “There is no reason for a teenager to be on the road between midnight and five in the morning.”
He said parents can “pull” a child’s driver’s license for “any reason whatsoever” and have it formally revoked by the state."

His voice mail is not accepting any more messages because it is full. The message on his home office refers all inquiries to Green Acres head office.

Up to 200 unauthorised franchises may have been signed up over the past six months, raking in fees worth millions of dollars. Many believe Green Acres should have been doing more.

'We believe they had a responsibility on their part to be monitoring his activities more closely,' one man told ONE News."

Dave Lapham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Dave Lapham (born June 24, 1952 in Melrose, Massachusetts), is a former professional football offensive lineman for the National Football League's Cincinnati Bengals from 1974 to 1983 and the United States Football League's New Jersey Generals (1984). During his career, he played all five line positions and was a key player on the 1981 Bengals squad that won the AFC championship, but ultimately lost Super Bowl XVI to the San Francisco 49ers. He wore uniform #62.

His nephew, Richard Lapham, also an offensive lineman, earned first-team accolades as a high schooler at Souhegan High School in Amherst, New Hampshire in 2005 and played with Boston College."

David Lapham (b. 1970) is an Eisner Award winning American comic book writer, artist, and cartoonist, best known for his work on his groundbreaking independent comic book Stray Bullets.

He started his career in 1990 as a penciller at Valiant Comics where he was discovered by editor Jim Shooter. He went on to join Shooter at Defiant Comics where they co-created Warriors of Plasm in 1993.

In 1995 he set up his own publisher El Capitan Books to publish Stray Bullets which he wrote, drew and lettered himself. By the end of that year Miramax had hired Lapham to write and direct a feature film. It is unclear what came of this contract as no movie has yet been produced.

Carriage Barn

2007-11-18T15:37:00.000Z

Carriage Barn: The gallery itself has been a work of art:

"Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a dilapidated old estate building has become a veritable temple of New Canaan’s visual and performing arts, serving those who create them as well as those who come to see and appreciate them.

It’s called the Carriage Barn because it once housed the elegant horse-drawn buggies for the Lapham family on the estate that is now New Canaan’s treasured Waveny Park.

But decades of neglect followed until it was resurrected and restored to glory again, this time by a band of hardy volunteers who shared a vision — as well, apparently, as boundless energy. Now its in its 30th year of presenting cultural pursuits ranging from exhibitions of art in all media to chamber music, film festivals, lectures, folk singers and art classes, the Carriage Barn annually draws thousands of people to study, to create, to exhibit and to see, hear and applaud."

"New Canaan" "Waveny Park" - Google Search

New Canaan, Connecticut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The New Canaan Historical Society, 13 Oenoke Ridge, operates seven museums, preserves five historic buildings, collects and preserves material thought to be of local historical value, and supports education programs such as school tours, special exhibits, seminars and publications on New Canaan history. The society was founded in 1889."

Lewis Lapham, a founder of Texaco and father of long-time Harpers Magazine editor Lewis H. Lapham, spent summers with his family at the estate that is now part of the 300-acre Waveny Park. Next to Talmadge Hill and the Merrit Parkway.

Waveny Park on South Avenue "was developed in 1912 by Lewis H. Lapham on what had been Prospect Farm, an early summer estate. In 1967 the Town acquired the 'castle' and 300 acres of surrounding parkland.

Lapham Center: "Lapham Community Center is located in Waveny Park, the original Lapham estate, in a building that was called the 'Bungalow.' Built in 1915 as a summer home for Jack Lapham and his family, it was used every summer from 1916 until just before the start of World War II.

The Lapham Community Center officially opened in September 1996. Mrs. Elise Lapham spoke at the dedication . . ."

Increase Lapham at the Wisconsin Historical Society: "A self-educated engineer and naturalist, Increase Lapham was Wisconsin's first scientist and one of its foremost citizens. He wrote the first book published in Wisconsin, made the first accurate maps of the state, investigated Wisconsin's effigy mounds, native trees and grasses, climatic patterns and geology, and helped found many of the schools, colleges and other cultural institutions that still enrich the state today. Increase Allen Lapham was born in Palmyra, New York, on March 7, 1811. The fifth of 13 children, his Quaker parents could not afford to have their children attend school so Lapham, the son of a canal contractor, became a laborer on canal construction crews. He got his first job at age 13, cutting stone for lock gates at Lockport, New York. Even without formal education, Lapham demonstrated an early talent for topographical sketching. When he was 14, Lapham began supplementing his dollar-a-day income by drawing and selling plans of the lock to townspeople. He became so proficient that in 1828, when only 17, he drafted virtually all of the plans for the canal at Shippingsport, Kentucky. . . . ."

Lapham Peak Unit of the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, Hwy. C
In 1870, on top of Lapham Peak, then known as Government Hill, the United States Army Signal Corps established one of its original National Weather Service signal stations. Weather data was received here from Pikes Peak, Colorado, and relayed to the United States Weather Bureau headquarters in Chicago.
Lapham Peak, the highest point in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, USA, is named for Increase Allen Lapham (1811-1875), Wisconsin's premier 19th-century naturalist, archeologist and scholar. From this peak, Lapham recorded many weather observations for his pioneering work in meteorology, which included publishing isothermal maps of Wisconsin and working with the Smithsonian Institution as a weather observer for the Great Lakes region. continues - Lapham Peak (Historic Marker Erected 1995)

Lapham Institute

2007-07-21T16:14:00.000Z

A historic treasure in Scituate is the LAPHAM INSTITUTE, located on a crest between Route 6 and Route 116 and visible from the Village Green. Built in 1839, the Greek Revival building was originally home to the Smithville Seminary. At the time, it was one of the largest school buildings ever built in the town. In 1863, the building was named the Lapham Institute and then renamed the Watchman Institute. Over the years, the building became ill-kept and in disrepair.

In the 1970s, an effort to repair and restore the structure was successful.

Today, the building is home to Scituate Commons, an apartment complex. But the exterior, with its magnificent three-story columns, remains true to the original design. Scituate Art Festival - Festival Features

"Lapham Institute.
This institution is located upon a slight eminence, commanding a fine view
of the beautiful village of North Scituate. It is composed of three large
and beautiful buildings, and was founded by the Rhode Island Association of
Free Baptists, in the year 1839. The school opened under auspicious
circumstances, in the autumn of 1839, with Rev. Hosea Quimby as its
principal. Three courses of study were provided: one for young men
preparing for college; one for young ladies, embracing a period of four
years; and one to meet the wants of those pupils who only attended one or
more terms. The great want of this institution, like many others of a
similar character, is an endowment fund. The entire amount of money, some
$30,000, which was raised at first, was wholly absorbed in the grounds,
buildings, and furnishings. As the denomination under whose auspices this
institution was erected and controlled was neither large nor wealthy, no
endowment fund was provided. In the year 1850, the society becoming
heavily taxed for its support, sold the entire property to Mr. Quimby, its
principal, who, by careful management, and the practice of a true economy
in several of its departments, hoped to render the school
self-sustaining. But after four years of severe struggle, he succumbed to
overwork and anxiety. Samuel P. Coburn then hired the property of Mr.
Quimby, and became its next principal. He remained three years.

In 1857, Rev. W. Colgrove purchased the buildings and furnishings of its
owner, and conducted the school for two years, at the expiration of which
time the institution was closed for the space of three years. In 1863, the
name of the school was changed from Smithville Seminary to Lapham
Institute, and Hon. Benedict Lapham and others becoming sureties for
whatever deficiencies might occur. This generous act, upon the part of Mr.
Lapham, not only illustrates his liberal characteristics, but the high
esteem he entertained toward the educational interests of the town. Rev.
B. F. Hayes was chosen its next principal, and conducted the school for two
years in a very successful manner. Prof. Thomas L. Angell succeeded him,
and remained two years. Prof. George H. Ricker succeeded Mr. Angell, and
continued the successful management of the school for some years. A. G.
Moulton was then chosen its principal, but died at the close of his first
year. Prof. W. S. Stockbridge, the present incumbent, succeeded him in the
autumn of 1875, and is a gentleman noted not only for his genial ways and
fine culture, but his thoroughness as an instructor. Among the most
distinguished graduates of this institution are Prof. James B. Angell of
Michigan University, at Ann Arbor; also George T. Day, former editor of
the 'Morning Star'; ex-Governor Howard of Rhode Island; Prof. Thomas L.
Angell of Bates College; and Mary Latham Clark, who is the author of
several popular and valuable works. The property is now owned by Mr.
William Winsor of Greenville, R. I., by whose beneficence the school is at
present sustained. It has a full corps of teachers, a fine library; and
its laboratory comprises a well assorted chemical and astronomical
apparatus. The buildings remain in good repair, and its location is
unsurpassed by any like institution in New England. Certainly the citizens
of North Scituate may well feel proud of their educational interests, and
regard with pride this institution, not only for its past reputation, but
its present excellence."

Nice relief of this wealthy Rhode Islander in Providence's beautiful Swan Point Cemetery..

Benedict Lapham, born June 26th, 1816, was in early life employed on a farm, and in manufacturing establishments in Burrillville, Rhode Island, and Palmer and Douglass, Massachusetts. He also for a time had charge of the farming interests of the Albion Manufacturing Company at Smithfield, Rhode Island. In 1837 he attended Bushee's Academy at Bank Village, Rhode Island, where he paid special attention to the study of mechanics. He then worked several years as a carpenter and wheelwright. In 1839 he hired the Tillinghast factory in East Greenwich, and engaged successfully in the manufacture of cotton goods until the fall of 1840, when the factory was sold and the stock disposed of to the purchasers of the property. He then resumed farming, his father having conveyed to him the old homestead. Mr. Lapham afterward carried on the manufacturing business in North Scituate, Wallum Pond, and Pascoag, Rhode Island. In the summer of 1852 he bought of the executors of the will of the late John Greene of Warwick, the estate in Centreville, embracing two-thirds of the water power, and all the machinery of the old mills which were built in 1794 and 1807, with later additions. Here Mr. Lapham and his brother Enos engaged in the manufacture of cotton cloth with about 5,000 spindles. In 1861 he made a large addition to the mill, and in 1871 removed the old building, erecting on the site a new structure three hundred and three feet long, one of the finest mills in the state, and probably one of the largest. It has a capacity for 40,000 spindles and employs both steam and water power. He was his own architect, making the plans and supervising the work of building. Mr. Lapham was also engaged in the cotton and grain trade, visiting the South and West in the interest of this branch of his business.

During the 'Dorr Rebellion' he was captain of a militia company. In 1849 he was a member of the Rhode Island house of representatives from Scituate. In 1863 he was elected to the state senate from Warwick to fill a vacancy, and re-elected the following year. He was appointed by Governor Smith, state commissioner of the Antietam Cemetery, and reappointed by Governor Padelford. He was president of the town council for five years, justice of the peace, and the imcumbent of other offices. In 1863 he purchased the Smithville Seminary and gave it to the Free Will Baptist Association. He afterward carried on that institution for five years at his own expense. He married in November, 1849, Ann Eliza, daughter of the late Russell and Catherine (Essex) Austin, of North Kingstown.

Mr. Lapham's business career extended over a period of more than forty years, and was characterized by strict integrity and ceaseless energy. He was a man of iron constitution, indomitable perseverance, and great executive ability. He possessed a thoroughly disciplined mind, and was master of his business, comprehending all its details, from the buying of cotton in the fields, through all the processes of manufacturing, to the sale of all the products of his mills. His liberal spirit and interest in the public welfare led him to devote much of his wealth to the cause of education and to benevolent purposes. His career was one of great usefulness until his death, which occurred June 16th, 1883. from USGenWeb RI Articles, Biographies Warwick

Morris�s Directory of 1871 lists four Fussell ironworks-linked businesses. These were: James Fussell Sons & Co. � Mells Ironworks; John Fussell & Co. � Upper Ironworks (Mells); William A Fussell � Rock House; and Isaac Fussell & Co. of Nunney.

The Fussell empire collapsed towards the end of the 19th century. A variety of reasons for this have been suggested and all of them probably made their contributions. It was probably a case of too little, too late, in terms of keeping up with technical developments in the great industrial centres of the Midlands and the North. For example, the Fussells depended almost entirely on water power to a late date, although they did use steam in the later years. They also installed rolling mills at the Lower Works at great expense, but seem to have had difficulty in getting these to work satisfactorily. By the time this happened, a catastrophic collapse in English agriculture in the 1870s hit the market for edge tools.

Late in the life of the Fussell operations there was an attempt at rationalisation with the fusion of the various branches into James, Isaac & John Fussell Ltd, Mells and Nunney Works, but again it was too late. William A Fussell�s company was diversifying, an 1881 advertisement featuring garden chairs, cold frames and propagating stoves. In 1894 the Fussell empire was adjudged bankrupt and liquidated. The company was taken over by Isaac Nash of Belbroughton, Worcestershire. By 1895 all production in the Mells area had stopped, although the name and reputation were still used by the Nash organisation, which had even taken Fussell employees to Worcestershire. Isaac Nash was itself later taken over by Tyzack Son & Turner.aac Nash of Belbroughton, Worcestershire. By 1895 all production in the Mells area had stopped, although the name and reputation were still used by the Nash organisation, which had even taken Fussell employees to Worcestershire.

The Governor Stanford
The tourism business was picking up well enough that W.H. Lapham of South Tahoe built a double decked steamer in 1872. The Governor Stanford was named after Central Pacific director turned politician Leland Stanford. This steamboat was 92 feet long, 15 feet wide and drew four feet when fully loaded. Her base was, as many steamers that came to be in the 1870s, Tahoe City.

Up to 125 passengers could be carried, making her the first large scale steamer on Tahoe. It took a crew of six to man the $15,000 vessel, Lapham himself being the captain. The size made the Governor Stanford a slow ride, only running at 6 knots at full boiler pressure.

An 1873 newspaper reporter complained about the slow speed, poor seating accommodations, a short smokestack that spewed cinders and ash on the deck passengers and the lack of an awning to keep the sun off the passengers who sat on the upper deck. Meals had to be taken standing up in the saloon, and the alcohol was not of a high quality. Still the scenery made the trip worthwhile.

In mid-1873 Lapham installed a new steam boiler, increasing her speed to an advertised 14 knots, but it was still considered barely faster than a sailboat.

The Governor Stanford was fast enough to make a complete trip around Lake Tahoe in a day quite comfortably. It would leave Tahoe City at 8 a.m., reaching Emerald Bay at 10 a.m., Lapham’s on the South Shore at Noon, then back north to Glenbrook on the east shore at 2 p.m., then steaming to Hot Springs on the North Shore before returning to Tahoe City by 5 p.m.

Stage connections allowed a visitor to leave Truckee at 6 a.m., meet the steamer, travel around the lake and take a return stage to Truckee in the evening. More leisurely travelers would stop at one of several lakeside resorts for a day or two and enjoy the scenery. Another stage connection from Glenbrook would take passengers to Carson City, where they met the Virginia & Truckee Railroad.

The Governor Stanford steamed her way around Tahoe until 1883, when the machinery was removed and she broke up in a winter storm.

CHANGED RESIDENCE -- Mr. L.W. LAPHAM, late and for many years a resident of Murphy’s, and one of the original proprietors of the Big Tree ranch, has taken up a permanent residence on the shore of Lake Bigler, Nevada Territory. His house is directly on the Placerville stage road. It is his intention to construct a number of sail-boats this winter, and on the opening of spring, to launch them on the lake for the accommodation of excursionists, who may feel an interest in minutely exploring that beautiful sheet of water, or taking therefrom some of its scaly tenants. By the way, it is said that the trout of Lake Bigler often reach the enormous size of 25 or 30 pounds.

BTW, Lake Bigler is now known as Lake Tahoe.

Lowell Winship Lapham March 20, 1922 – February 8, 2006

2006-08-07T12:23:00.000Z

Lowell Winship Lapham, M.D., passed away on the 8th of February 2006 in the Cleveland Clinic at the age of 83. Dr. Lapham was a professor of neuropathology at the University of Rochester from 1964 to 1992. He "retired" in 1992, but continued to be active academically as an Emeritus Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine working on neuropathologic studies with the Republic of Seychelles and the Seychelles Child Development Study. Dr. Lapham had been residing at the Kendal retirement community in Oberlin, Ohio. His family -- wife Miriam, M.F.A. (Oberlin graduate, 1944); children Joan, Steven, Judy, and Jennifer; and four grandchildren -- had all visited recently. He was with family, comfortable, and listening to his favorite classical music when he died.

Dr. Lapham's professional career was long and brilliant. Born in New Hampton, Iowa, he grew up in Charles City, Iowa. He graduated from Oberlin College Phi Beta Kappa in 1943 and AOA from Harvard Medical School, cum laude, in 1948. He trained in clinical medicine (internal medicine and neurology) at Boston City Hospital under Dr. Derek Denny-Brown and Dr. Joe Foley, and at the Neurological Institute of New York under Dr. Houston Merritt. His fellowship in neuropathology was taken at Massachusetts General Hospital under the guidance of Dr. Raymond D. Adams. His first faculty appointment was at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955. In 1964 he moved to the University of Rochester to serve as Head of Neuropathology. After retiring he traveled extensively, often with family members, to such destinations as China, Africa, Australia, Ireland, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. Dr. Lapham's retirement years at Kendal recapitulated his college years, both happily based in Oberlin.

Dr. Lapham was both a bona fide "bench scientist" and a world-class clinical neuropathologist. His contributions to the field of neuropathology were substantial, consisting of many original studies published in major journals as well as training several leaders in the field. For his local contributions to the University of Rochester and Strong Memorial Hospital, he was chosen to be the Henry C. and Bertha H. Buswell Distinguished Service Fellow in 1980-1981. In 1994, in recognition of his scholarly achievements, he received the Award for Meritorious Contributions to Neuropathology from the American Association of Neuropathologists, the premier neuropathologic organization, with an international membership. At the time of his retirement, Dr. Lapham was recognized for his significant contributions to the neurosciences and neuropathology program and to medical student and resident education at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Amor, Honor et Justitia

2006-01-15T03:47:00.000Z

"Amor, Honor et Justitia" - Google Search shows that this motto is linked to the Bayard family in USA, the Limerick Masons Guild and the
Royal Masonic Institution for Boys - 1977 medal

(Justitia, also called Persephone, is Minerva’s name when she judges the dead in Hades).

about the "LAPHAM" coat of arms

In heraldry the simplest version of a design is the oldest and this appears to be an early variation of the arms of a Guild of Masons.

This simple chevron could even be read as a working square
derived directly from the fr. chevron, i.e. rafter of a roof.

stemma araldico in nero su bianco recante 3 torri, 2 in alto ed una in basso, separate da un compasso aperto.

those of the Masons Company, a plain chevron and three Towers.

the clear similarity in the forms of their heraldic arms: the Carpenters having three dividers or compasses around an engrailed 'chevron' (fig. no. 5),
whilst the Masons had three castles or towers around a similarly engrailed chevron on which a pair of compasses is displayed (fig. no. 6).

What is even more singular is that on an earlier form of the Carpenter's arms we see the central chevron bearing a working square and what looks remarkably like a primitive skirret with its string (fig. no. 7).

Sotto, in bianco su nero, il motto su cartiglio: "AMOR HONOR ET JUSTITIA

no harm in using this as a decorative feature of a website but do read these College of Arms

my source is LAPHAM, privately published by Olene Lapham in 1934

"The Coat of Arms used by John Lapham of Providence is:Arms: argent, a chevron azure, between three towers proper, and a compass.
Crest: a sinister arm in armour, holding a dagger, all proper.
Motto: Amor, Honor et Justitia."

Providence, Rhode Island, USA about 1660 to about 1682

Her drawing suggests that should be
Arms: argent, a chevron azure, between three towers gules proper, and compasses or, with red as my choice for the towers
(just what is the proper or natural colour of a tower?)

BUT I would like to examine her sources - possibly a document or seal or stone.

GENUKI: The National Gazetteer (1868) -

Alverstoke: "Haslar hospital is in this parish. It is a spacious brick building near the entrance to Portsmouth harbour, extending in front about 570 feet, and having two wings about 550 feet in length. It is capable of receiving 2,000 patients. It contains besides apartments for the governor, officers, and nurses, a chapel and a museum. The grounds belonging to it extend nearly a mile. It was erected on the suggestion of Earl Sandwich, about the middle of the 18th century. Soldiers form a large class of the population of Alverstoke. The town was within the jurisdiction of the Cheyney Court at Winchester.

See "GOSPORT, a parish chapelry, seaport, market, and post town, in the parish and liberty of Alverstoke, county Hants, 23 miles S.E. of Winchester, and 77 from London by the turnpike road, or 96 by the South-Western railway, which has a branch line to this place. It is situated on the western side of the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, on a point of land facing the town of Portsmouth, from which it is distant, at one part, only half a mile, and with which there is constant intercourse by means of a steam ferry, and a floating bridge conveying passengers, carriages, horses, and all kinds of merchandise. Gosport is, comparatively, a modern town, deriving its importance, chiefly, from its proximity to Portsmouth.

It appears that King Stephen succeeded in landing here, after being driven about in a storm, and called it God's Port. He afterwards bestowed it upon his brother, the Bishop of Blois, who granted it a charter. The town is well built, and, especially from the water, has a handsome appearance. It is governed in matters relating to its sanitary and social condition by a body of trustees appointed under a local Act of Parliament, who make and levy all rates for paving, lighting, &c. There are also two officers, called constables, chosen under the ancient charter.

The town contains a market-house, theatre, commercial and savings banks, house of correction, foundries, breweries, and extensive works connected with the government establishments, affording employment to a large number of people. Here are situated the Royal Clarence victualling-yard for supplying her Majesty's navy, extensive powder magazines, the Forton marine barracks, and the Haslar hospital, capable of accommodating 2,000 inmates. Within a short distance of the above hospital are the two powerful batteries known as the Block House and Monckton forts; other defences are in process of construction. The coastguard and police services have stations here. It is a polling-place for the county, and petty sessions are held fortnightly.

The living is a perpetual curacy* in the diocese of Winchester, value £220, with good parsonage house, in the patronage of the Rector of Alverstoke. The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was originally erected in 1696, and has been subsequently much enlarged. It was entirely repaired in 1830 at the cost of £4,000. Its internal appearance is very handsome. There is also the district church of St. Matthew, the living of which is a perpetual curacy, value £200, in the gift of the bishop and rector alternately. The Independents have two chapels, and the Wesleyans and Roman Catholics one each. There are five National schools, and two free schools, one in connection with Trinity church, and one a Roman Catholic school. The Bishop of Winchester is lord of the manor. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the market days."

This remarkable photo, taken in about 1846, shows Brian David Mccullough's great-great-grandmother holding her two surviving children, Arthur and Emily Hill. Given that she died within a decade of the emergence of photography, her image is not one he ever expected to see. The original ambrotype was in the possession of a cousin in Florence, Massachusetts

The Nonotuck Silk Company and the Invention of Machine- Twist
One of them was Samuel Lapham Hill. The recently invented sewing machine was plagued with problems, not least the uneven quality of the available thread. Hill seized the challenge to devise a stronger, smoother filament. The judges at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition tell the story: Hill " . . . submitted it, in 1852, to Mr. Singer . . . . [who] put a spool on his machine, threaded it up, and commenced sewing. After sewing sufficiently to enable him to judge of its merit, he [. . exclaimed . . ], 'I shall want all you can make,'--a prophecy literally fulfilled. The new fabric assumed the name of 'machine twist,' and from that time to the present the amount of silk consumed upon sewing-machines is marvelous." Machine twist put Hill's company on the Silk Map: in just over two decades it was the largest silk thread manufacturer in the country. Yet, it seems, no one has studied the development of this marvelous invention! This paper seeks to fill that gap.
