DEATH of MR LAMPORT

THE CLOSE of a BUSY and USEFUL LIFE

The Hon. William H. Lamport died yesterday, the 21st instant, at 11 30 AM at his residence on Park Street in this village. As many of our readers are aware, the deceased had long been afflicted with cancer of the face, and it was the resistless progress of this fatal malady that finally caused his death.

Some months since it was thought advisable by the attending physicians to remove his left eye, but even this extreme measure failed to afford more than temporary relief, and the disease ultimately extended to the brain, and this put an end to his suffering.

He leaves one son and one daughter, Mr. Charles H. Lamport of NY, and Mrs. H. F. Stark of Atlanta, Ga.. The latter came North several weeks ago and remained with him to the last. His last hours were also cheered by the presence of his sisters, Mrs. Harriet Griswold, Washington, DC, Mrs. Harris Andrews and Mrs. David Anderson, of this village, and also his brother, Mr. Hiram Lamport of Brooklyn.

His son arrived from NY this morning. William H. Lamport was a son of the late John Lamport, a native of Pittstown, Rensselear County, who was married to Margaret Sisson, a Rhode Island woman in 1806. William H. was born May 27, 1811. In 1826 his parents removed from Rensselear County to the town of Gorham, Ontario County, where he grew to man's estate, and following the occupation of his father, became a farmer.

His opportunities for obtaining an education were extremely meager, being limited after the family removed to Gorham to an attendance through three winter terms at the old log schoolhouse in district 2 of that town.

In 1831 he was married to Mary Ellen Townsend of Benton, Yates County, who died in Canandaigua December 27, 1887. In 1832 he united with the Presbyterian Church and ever after remained a consistent and devoted member of that organization.

During his long life Mr. Lamport was a called to fill many positions of public trust and responsibility, in all of which he discharged the duties devolved upon him with the strictest fidelity. In 1840 he was elected by his towns men to the office of school inspector, and in 1845 to that of Supervisor, and 1846 was reelected. In 1849 he was elected Sheriff of Ontario County. In 1854 he was chosen to represent the First Assembly District of Ontario County in the State Legislature, and in 1870 having in the meantime, 1864, removed to Canandaigua, was elected Rep. in Congress and two years later reelected.

There is much more in this article, however I did not transcribe it. His body was interred 1891 Canandaigua, New York, West Avenue Cemetery. Section XVII
