Ionia County News - Nov. 2, 1922


Mrs. Amy A. Piper, 92, Kent county pioneer, and one of the few women who have 
braved the dangers of the gold trail to California in a covered wagon in 1849, 
is dead at the home of her brother, E.B. Lapham, in Belding. Mrs. Piper was the 
daughter of Smith Lapham of Rockford and taught the first school in that 
village 75 years ago. The school building was built of slabs cut at her 
father’s mill at Rockford, then known as Laphamville.
