Belding Banner, 12 Oct 1911

Those of our citizens who have known Nathanial “Dad” Lapham for years were much 
surprised on Tuesday last to learn that he had passed to his last rest at 
Butterworth Hospital at an early hour that morning.  For some weeks past he had 
been feeling poorly and after an examination by skilled physicians it was found 
that he had tumors in his stomach and an operation was thought to be the only 
way to save his life.  He went to the hospital about two weeks ago and the 
operation revealed a worse state of disease than had been anticipated and it 
was realized that his death was only a question of a few weeks at best.

Mr. Lapham has been a resident of this city for the past nineteen years, was 
seventy-two years of age and leaves besides his wife whom he married in this 
city sixteen years ago, two sons, Frank of Middleton, New York and George of 
St. Johns, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Williams of St. Johns and little 
Margaret of this city.

Strong and vigorous all his life, Mr. Lapham found much joy and happiness in 
hunting, fishing and trapping and every year the call of the wild lured him 
from the scenes of home life to camp in the silent wilderness.  A good man, he 
will be greatly missed by those who now mourn his departure.  The remains were 
taken to his former home at St. Johns for burial.
